Why should I consider taking out a Home Emergency Cover?
If you own your own home whether outright or through a mortgage, home assistance could give you peace of mind if problems were to occur unexpectedly. Home emergency cover can help when an emergency affects your home and will typically cover:
- Plumbing or drainage, such as blocked drains or burst pipes
- Main heating system, including your hot water system
- The domestic power supply
- The toilet unit
- Home security
- Vermin infestation
- Alternative accommodation provision (to a certain value)
Typically home assistance will cover for call out charges, plus parts and labour (to a certain value) and often making a claim will not affect your no claims bonus.
The type and level of cover may vary between providers. Check the policy documents for details.
How do I obtain Home Emergency Cover?

Whether you are taking out a buildings insurance or contents insurance policy or a combined buildings & contents insurance policy, home assistance is often available either as a standard feature of the policy or to include for an additional charge. Certain brands that we feature may not offer the product.
