What is Home Emergency cover?
Home Emergency is optional cover that you can add at the start or during your policy. Providing you hassle-free protection from those unexpected emergencies that no one wants to deal with, that affect your home and need immediate attention.
With Home Emergency cover, we'll arrange for a qualified tradesperson to provide emergency help and repairs, day or night. You don't even have to worry about a call out charge. Examples of what’s covered includes:

- Damage to, or failure of the only accessible toilet or cistern in your home
- Damaged and broken external locks, doors and windows
