    • Annual Boiler Service

    Your policy includes provision for an annual gas boiler service. This is not an element of insurance and therefore is not part of the contract of insurance, underwritten by the underwriter and is not regulated by the FSA. You will also not therefore have the right to refer a complaint relating to this service to the Financial Ombudsman Service. We will contact you to arrange for an engineer to service the gas fired boiler to statutory requirements, manufacturer's recommendations and relevant codes of practice. Boiler services are normally undertaken Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, between April and September.

Examples of What's not Covered?

  • Repairs if we have advised you to carry out maintenance work to prevent a future breakdown (until that work is complete)

What is effective cost of cover?

Your policy starts the day your application is processed. To prevent claims on pre-existing problems and to keep premiums low, there's an initial period of 14 or 28 days where you'll not be covered, giving you either 11 or 11 and a half months' cover in your first year. The actual period applying to the policy is detailed above and in the Summary of Cover and Terms and Conditions.

The Effective Cost of Cover is, therefore, the monthly price for the period over which you can claim in your first year. It is calculated by dividing the annual premium by either 11 or 11 and a half months, depending on the specific no-claim period.

Eligibility

This policy is for homeowners only. Retail, commercial and other premises used for business are not eligible for this cover, and council and housing association tenants will not need this service. The property must be your permanent home and owned and solely occupied by you and your family as a private residence with no business use. Mobile homes, bedsits, sub-divided homes and let and sub-let properties are not covered.
