“After a switch to YourRepair after recommendation, sadly had a run of 3 bad experiences (out of 3!) - a poor quality boiler service (not picking up a number of problems leading to Boiler being condemned within 2 months), then inability to source and make safe a gas leak (subsequently resolved by a private engineer within an hour) and then refusing to help with a water leak from a radiator pipe coming out of the floor (they don't do 'trace' problems) - all in the exclusions...Worst thing is when I cancel my DD and try to cancel the insurance, am told it's a fixed term contract and i need to pay up for the 9 remaining months! Which other insurance company has such a clause I wonder....please make sure you read the terms and conditions carefully is my lesson and not following a recommendation too blindly! Shame as the Customer Service person dealing with my case (Victoria) is trying to be helpful but is being let down in my opinion by a management decision to put money before customer service, sad!”
“I had signed up for the home repair landlord service which included a landlord gas safety inspection. It has been an uphill task to have this organised, and I am still waiting 4 weeks later for someone to contact me as promised. When I called about a new problem with the boiler, I was told that the tenant had to contact the emergency number, and not the landlord, but when my tenant called, they were told that my policy was non-existent. Finally when I called again, I was informed that the tenant should not be the reporting the problem but the landlord! by that time, I was told that it was no longer an emergency because of the time delay since the problem started and therefore was not covered by my policy. After a difficult and unhelpful phone call making the case that the delay was not due to my or my tenants fault but rather the wrong information and the runabout from their customer service, I was promised that an engineer would be calling to arrange an appointment. Still waiting 4 weeks later. I given up and cut my losses and cancelled my subscription. I have lost faith in the genuineness of the company. No doubt the service is seamless when signing customers up, but if my experience is anything to go by, I would have serious reservations and concerns about the ability of this company to deliver all that they claim to offer.”
“Paid for 9 months 14 pound a month and when I tried to book a call on line it stated because I ticked 48hours it deemed I had to pay 75.00. My boiler is leaking water I rang and was told not an emergency as I had heating so that is why I ticked 48 hours.”
“I was called by a company acting on behalf of your repair after I had done an online search for home emergency cover. I was told they could match British Gas highest cover including a boiler service for £12 less per month. This was a great offer so I accepted. Today I called to make a claim as I have a leak behind my toilet which is not visible as it is boxed in but I had noticed the floor was wet. The call advisor said I wasn’t covered for taps and toilets and for any pipe work that is linked from the water system to a toilet. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I live in a small bungalow and the pipe work where the leak looks like it comes from everything is connected to this pipe and feeds off in different directions. If this pipe isn’t covered then nothing in my home is technically covered and they won’t send a plumber out. They then denied it was mis sold and said they don’t set up policies over the phone(somebody called me acting on behalf of this company and I set up the policy whilst I was driving in my car)the adviser told me I was lying basically and set it is impossible even though I have the exact date,time and phone number who called me and set it up and took my direct debit details. To sum it all up if you want propper cover and actually need a plumber in an emergency don’t use forms like this to save a few quid per month because when the time comes and you have an emergency they will not help you.”
Hi
We're sorry to hear of your concerns, however you are mistaken as we don't have or employ an outbound sales team. Our sales department is inbound sales only. I can see from your account that you signed up on our website directly, on the 21st of June 2018.
As advised on the telephone by our claims adviser when you called to make a claim today on the 9th August 2018: The reason we are unable to approve your claim is because both of your direct debit payments failed due to insufficient funds in your account.
You set up your cover on the 21 of June 2018, your first payment was due on 5th of July 2018 and your second payment was due on the 5th of August 2018.
Following this advice, you were unwilling to pay the outstanding amount, so we were unable to approve your claim.
If you would like to discuss your concerns further, please contact our customer care team on 0330 223 4422 or email customerservice@yourrepairhomeplan.co.uk.
Kind Regards

“Filled in application online with all details of my boiler all accepted then after they have all your details and direct debit details they send you a welcome pack. In that it says my boiler is one they don’t cover. At which point I have to contact them to cancel. Obviously they already had the boiler details. So why did they need my bank details”
“I wanted to commence a Gas Safety plan for my property and arrange to get the safety check done before the date of my cover end with my previous company. this could not be done unless I sign up and pay a month earlier as it takes 28 days before I can have a gas safety check arranged.
Utter nonsense”
