Customer complaints don't seem to have improved which is perhaps why it is so cheap

sure - they'll happily strip out the lead pipes for you & replace - all part of the service

Untrustworthy company as soon as your boiler or something else that is expensive fails beyond their liking they blame you and won't repair it. I had my boiler under contract for years with this cowboy firm and the pump failed they claimed I failed to maintain the heating system yet for over 8 years I paid a lot of money for them to look after it. Untrustworthy company

Anyone used the insurance yet to claim??

Can I get it as a Private Tenant or do you need to be home owners?

Does this cover a toilet flush that is not working properly? It is one of those flush button types.

These guys usually send a couple of cowboys.

Having said that, for that price, this simply cannot be voted cold..

With kindest regards

Good deal. Heat from me

Anyone had their confirmation of policy yet?

Hot deal, alas no good for me as am in a flat :disappointed:

Hence the use of "etc." in my earlier comment :smiley:

Hopefully moving in next couple of weeks, will defiantly sign up at new address in case any plumbing problems arise in the first year. Thanks op

Again, anyone signed up and had a confirmation yet?

Signed up... Thanks

Does out cover rentals please?

Yes, good deal whether or not you plan to continue after a year is irrelevant. It's piece of mind for the 12 months you're covered. If you don't claim, it's only £9 if you do it could save £100's. If something goes wrong after you cancel, unlucky. I've been a plumber for 13 years and have taken this out as I know if ever there's an issue to the external drainage of your property it can be a faff!

HomeServe policy statement mentions "Repairs of leaks and blockages within your plumbing and drainage system on your property"

Does this mean they will cover the repair/replacement costs of broken tap ?

On the diagram of what's covered it clearly shows the pipe going into the radiator, but not the radiator itself.

So what you're saying is that for the next 365 days you're expecting a plumbing/drainage problem, but after that period all will be fine.
It's a great deal if it were £9 per year, every year. But it's not. Unless you are going to keep the insurance going year on year you are either a fortune teller or wasting your money.
What if I were selling brickwork and window insurance? £1 per year for the 1st year then £50 afterwards? Good deal?

Possibly because the different price point affects the cost/benefit analysis perhaps?
You're right that some things are a waste of money if not needed, but even things which are mere wants rather than needs can become worthwhile (to some people) below a certain price point.
The risks covered by this insurance policy may not have warranted £X per month, but at £9 for one year (with no obligation to renew) I would say this is a hot deal for most people.
If you set it up like I did, then you don't even need to remember to cancel; I cancelled the renewal on the day I placed the order.

You're paying for an insurance policy. If you've never had that insurance before and are only taking it out for one year you need to ask yourself why.

Gone for this. Cheers OP. Wish there were similar for electrical and gas. Mucho calor :smile:

What you need to ask yourself is "would I pay £10pm for this". If the answer is no then why would you want to pay £9 for the 1st year then pay the regular price. If you've never had this type of cover before then you probably don't need it.

Wish this was the full package, just drains plumbing cover isn't enough for me. Can't exclude from the other packages so no point spending more for a similar package with someone else. Anyone know of any cheap full cover packages? Anything like this huge discount would be even better :smiley:

Does it cover shower trays and drainage. Terms say shower is not covered but doesn’t specify whether it’s talking about the show unit or the tray or drainage

This renter needs.
Easier and quicker than calling the landlord.

I am about to move to a house and the seller has stated the stopcock is stuck and can't be turned so the water has to be turned off at the stopcock in the footpath outside. The one that is stuck is within the property boundaries (the kitchen) so would this cover me if I take the cover and then claim after 14 days?

I have not signed up and probably won't but this is a great deal. HOT HOT HOT

Just moved house I have lead pipes coming into the house by signing up could I get them to assist in getting rid of the lead all?

Get what you pay for. Left us for 3 weeks with no heating or water in winter and customer services are a joke.

Cold. maisonettes aren't covered.

Id check first before you DISCOVER your leak as it doesn't cover heating so I don't think radiators and pipework will be covered.

Great price. however not available for people who rent :disappointed:

Had this before, called out around 4 times for various leaks ect, always repaired or replaced withincouple of days. Worth the money to me, have cancelled as renewal was to much, can I take another offer I cancelled in april

Youll find that Homeserve own about 60% of Trustpilot... hmm now theres one you did know!.

Trustpilot??? You having a laugh? When a company uses Trustpilot alarm bells should be ringing.. Its the scammers review website of choice. Check facebook and google

It's £9 a year, well worth the punt. I had them replace about 100m of water pipe. Certainly would have cost then thousands because it was moled all the way and took them over 2 weeks.

Signed up! For 75p per month you just never know

This is great deal. But the link doesn't seem to work??

You're still reading the news published in 2014. It's 2017. Check Trustpilot etc. they've gone uphill only after that fine.

thanks

Worth a go for £9, cheers op, hot deal.

I filled it out online. The letter was addressed to me and said sorry you cancelled etc and here's a deal so assume I'll be ok. You can do it on the phone just quote the end of the URL.

This years renewal £72 for me..didn't call them out last year...have other years though

I got the offer through after I had cancelled in may. So you may have to wait a few months.

My partner and I are getting the keys for our first house next week. The house was built 60 years ago and it needs of a complete refurbishment. We don't have the money to do the work straightaway and we'll have to live there for a year before we can start any work.

Watching this cheap cover for plumbing and drainage we went to their website and we saw the HomeServe Cover 8 which looks quite interesting for us. If something breaks or it is already broken ;-) we can call them to get it fixed.

Could you please give me your opinion about the HomeServe Cover 8 for our situation? Is there anything important that we have to consider?

Thank you

Wouldn't fix my plumbing problem so definitely not worth it

Just be aware this is not emergency cover. I had cover with them but cancelled after they told me it would be 4-5 days before they could get to me for a leaking pipe under a floor. This was about 4 years ago so maybe they have got it down to a better timescale, but still not emergency cover.

Do not touch them with a barge pole they put there work out to the cheapest contractor and that is what you get especially if you live in south wales

Yeah its well worth it for £1 a month but make sure you dont renew at renewal. Also have the electrics at £1 a month

Joined on the 50p offer last year and called them out on a few occasions for different things and was impressed with the service so I kept it going after the offer expired nor around £11 per month. Might have to look if I can cancel and restart on new offer.

I got the same thing...note that if you have shared sewers with neighbours then your water supplier/sewage supplier(??!) has to take responsibility of repairs so this leaflet said (Southern Water in my case)

Fantastic, I can finally get that leaky radiator fixed. :smile:

That I'm about to discover. :wink:

Excellent deal! My one year just finished and paid £6! They came out about 4 times even changing my kitchen sink tap once with no extra charge.. a deal definitely worth taking! Will be joining again :smile:

Got it for 50p as well through a Thames Water letter. Not used the service yet.

Had this last year for 50p a month, used once but guy was very courteous, unblocked a sink and replaced a dripping tap with a pair of brand new ones, only plumbcentre cheapies but hey, for the price.

Will partake again.

Surprised they are still in business
