The true cost of unexpected repairs

From worn-out boilers to leaking roofs, thousands of homeowners across the UK are unprepared for emergencies lurking in their homes.

Our internal claims data highlights a worrying trend: the costs of emergency repairs are rising, and most households aren’t ready for them.

• A single boiler breakdown would have cost one family £1,572

• A burst pipe racked up £3,913.89 in repairs

• Electrical faults reached £1,572

• Pest infestations averaged £648 per incident

• One home had an emergency roof repair costing £1,908

Without cover, these expenses hit hard - especially during a cost-of-living crisis.

• Access to engineers 24/7

• Fast, reliable repairs organised by us

Bottom line

Most people don't think about home emergency cover until it's too late. Don’t be one of them. A small monthly cost now could save you thousands — and a lot of stress — later.
