Home serve doesn't allow you to claim under the policy in the first 28 days, so you're effectively paying for 12 months for a 11 month policy.

My voucher arrived today

I signed up for this but havent had argos voucher. Anyone know how I get it?

great deal awful service I have domestic and general for everything they even replaced my tumble dryer

Lol. FSA won't hekp, unless your name is Marty and you're driving a Delorean :smirk:

No matter the deal check other posts to see how bad their service can be. If you paint a dog turd gold its still poo.

Won't cover my boiler make (Ferroli) so no good for me :disappointed:

Terrible company

I did not receive my topcashback (still trying to get it) and that was January this year. Wont be renewing.

I'm not going to list all the problems we had with Homeserve but needless to say we didn't renew our policy in November.

On the plus side Quidco did pay the cash back and HS did pay compensation when one of their engineers left all the bleed valves open on the upstairs rads & didn't tell the engineer who turned up a day or so later to fit the new part. Needless to say we had some wet carpets!

TopCashBack are a joke, I wouldn't trust them with any large cashback sum.
They probably pocket the £84 themselves and tell you that the cashback was declined or didn't track.
Putting in any sort of manual claim is a complete and utter time wasting mechanism for TCB....

I have the same boiler and had a similar deal last year mine runs out in feb and yes they do cover it :smiley:

Even after having having an 'ICON' status with Quidco, the service is poor and not worth business with. And recently I noticed Topcashback following same way !

TCB is not successful to get the money even after a year. Suggest not to count on them.

Boiler insurance - read the Terms carefully.

We had boiler cover with British Gas, during the annual service they recommended a Power flush, magnetic cleanser etc etc ... for a lot of money.
Natually we didn't take them up on their recommendations as there was nothing wrong with the system.
When the boiler developed a leak (unrelated to recommendations) they turned down the cover saying that we didn't take up their recommendations and thus are not eligible for cover! Yet, they were happy enough to still receive the monthly payments - the cheek.
All in all .. a total rip off. You only get cover if you take them up on their overpriced recommendations.

I anticipate it will be a similar case with all boiler insurance these days. Check the terms!!

Something going on at Homeserve at the moment. I had a renewal for £196. Phoned to cancel as had already got similar cover for this year with home insurance. Immediately knocked off £90. Said i'd think about it, just to get off the phone. Rang a few days later to finally cut the cord and the bloke basically asked me what i was prepared to pay in order to stay with them. I said well unless you'll do it for £30, and i'm sure you won't, then i'll have to cancel. In the end we settled on £54 for full cover with no excess. If i'd paid a £50 excess i would have indeed got the cover for £30.
Always pays to question every quote you get.

Been over 12 months and my tcb has still not been paid. Tracked @ £0 and tcb are still looking into it. Renewal price after 12 months (with excess) was more than British Gas (without excess).

Voted got for the deal.. But awful company!!

that is a good deal..hot

You get what you pay for, the price is great but in my experience with HomeServe they aren't very good at the "Serve" bit. Terrible after sale not turning up for booked appointments, turning up 2 hrs late and returning to fix issues 3 or 4 times because they didn't do the job correctly the first time!

You can claim the £200 towards New boiler though.

I didn't get the TCB Cashback either.

And Home serve were terrible.

Don't recommend

Any cooling off period once you sign up?

Yeah but leaking taps are covered... i have one right now... would they not come out and fix?

Cheers, OP - Taken a punt! :smile:

They don't get called out for the smaller jobs and They get paid the first £50 for the bigger ones.

So how does this excess work? If i call them out for a leaking tap and they fix - i will get charged up to £50 regardless?

I have called them out many times.
My upstairs toilet pipe getting blocked all the time.
First few times they came and jetted it clear but it was happening every few weeks or so.
I got on the phone after third or fourth time and asked them to do a proper repair because it's the same problem every time.
They sent 2 vans and stuck a camera down the drain and found it had collapsed.
Dug up the garden and repaired it.
All was well for a bit then same problem. Called them again and they stuck the camera down again.
This time they found that when the drain collapsed a chunk of clay drain pipe had worked its way down the soil pipe.
He broke it up and flushed it through.
Been a year or so.. No problems.

All for 50p a month!.

I thought it would be rude of me not to renew.

Overall I am extremely pleased with their service.
If they had dropped the camera down on first or second visit it would saved a lot of hassle

I'm still waiting for £100 from top cash 6 months ago chased it up but no go. Will be changing after the year is up

Cashback will not be paid if a free service is added to your order.. Cashback will not be paid in conjunction with any other offer, voucher or discount code unless listed on this page, or with any other discounts such as staff or student discounts

Suspect they've upped their game recently after the GARGANTUAN fine the FCA hit them with a couple of years ago ...

I took this cover via quidco two years ago.

Cash back took 18 months to arrive after about a dozen chases. even then I was paid by quidco directly and they took up the fight for cash back with HS.

Cold from me

A warning home serve are appalling as other members have confirmed.Came out on a house insurance policy for a specific plumbing problem.guy said he would need to contact head office as it needed a plumber to sort it out , then charged 85 pounds for 5 mins of totally useless information. Of course it needed a plumber !!! .I advised Norwich Union that these cowboys are taking liberties. I had a 200 limit for repairs for which home serve used half telling me the obvious.luckily after complaints to N U they ignored the home serve charge and let me use a local plumber who took 15 mins to solve easy problem.
Very best of luck using home serve. !!!

Got £2 a month cover with a free service last year.

They failed to turn up, or at least the third party company did, twice. They paid out £90/in compensation. In fairness , possibly the quickest, fairest resolution I've had with a company.

Nice find op worth a go I feel.

When do you receive the Argos card?

Ignore the Quidco/TCB Cashback from Homeserve.
I didn't get my TCB cashback yet from Homeserve. It's been 8 months. Raised this issue with TCB, who couldn't do much about it.

£50 excess for plumbing ,

Quidco says the payout is expected in August!

I have 5 outstanding payouts from TCB and 1 goes back to June this year and not a word, apart from it might take several months to get an answer from the merchant. Around £480 in total.

SO don't rely on TCB

Didn't pay out my tcb. Their contactors came out 5-6 times to the same problem and never fixed it. Deemed my 4 year old boiler beyond economical repair! Thankfully homserve didn't agree with them, subcontracted to the manafacturer and new heat exchanger sorted it in 20 mins. Will be going with domestic and general next year.

my HomeServe Cover 8 expired during september and i didnt renew!
so can i buy it again and get tcb/argos voucher?

forgot to add for the renewal they wanted £250!

HomeServe Argos voucher offer expires on 22 December.

Which URL are people getting 404 on? The HomeServe, Quidco and TCB URLs all work for me.

I think some people are slightly missing the point. If you think TCB/Quidco will pay out (97/98% tracking stats), and you want a £50 Argos voucher, you can pay £30 for that voucher.
You can just ignore the fact that you get some cover that you can choose to use or not.

don't expect this to payout on TCB , look at the reviews and sort them into 'newest first' LOL ....... I'm out

Is there an expiry date for this offer?

Mm, can go for a policy with free boiler service but you don't get the argos voucher....

Great deal but shocking company. Worse than b gas.

Bet that they won't cover our ancient Baxi Bermuda back boiler :disappointed:

404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

all boiler policies exclude the first 28 days of a new policy

Can only take this out if you live in a house not a flat

Massive jump for zero excess.
You can lose the Argos voucher for a free service, but I'm not too sure if you would still receive the cashback?

Home serve doesn't allow you to claim under the policy in the first 28 days, so you're effectively paying for 12 months for a 11 month policy.

Boom.
Super Scorchio. Now that's a find

This is the kind of deal HUKD is about. Nice one OP.

wow this is hons get hot
