You may have been there before. It's been a great day out on the boat but when you get home the heating's given up, the electrics have gone, or, worse still, there's been a break-in and your house is no longer secure. Who would you call?

Everyone knows how hard it is to find a plumber even when it’s not an emergency - it’s even harder getting them out at short notice, after hours.

It's the same with electricians or locksmiths - things always seem to go wrong at the most inconvenient times - evenings and weekends, usually in the winter.

Emergency services

But that’s not a problem when something goes wrong with your car - you just call the RAC, AA or other emergency service.

You might have to wait a while for them to reach you, but you know they’ll be there and will fix the problem if at all possible.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a similar service for your home, so that when you came back from your boating trip you could get help right when you need it?

Good news

Well you’re in luck - there is.

Home emergency cover is provided alongside many home and contents insurance policies so there’s an excellent chance you'll have it already.

It provides a qualified professional to come out to your home whatever the time of day, any day of the week, whatever the weather. The following emergencies are covered:

• Plumbing
• Heating
• Electrics
• Doors, windows and locks

What do you get?

Plumbers and heating engineers will deal with boiler or central heating problems and leaks or other pipework problems. They’ll fix the problem or make a temporary repair before returning to complete the job.

An electrician will fix any problems with lights or power sockets, similarly fixing it straight away or making the situation safe before coming back with the parts to finish off.

Locksmiths will attend if you’re suffered a break-in or lost your keys. They’ll get you in and make broken doors and windows safe and secure.

Have you got it?

This is usually provided alongside home insurance so if you only have boat insurance with us you are unlikely to have it - but check with your provider to find out.

If you don’t, it’s only a tiny monthly amount for complete peace of mind. A quick call or email to our customer team is all it needs.

Just think - all the help you need, only a phone call away, any time.
