Introducing a new comprehensive Plumbing and Drainage Emergency Insurance that you can rely on



Did you know that your pipework is as much at risk in the summer, when the ground dries out, as it is in the winter, when it can freeze? A burst pipe or collapsed drain could involve a high level of damage, cost and stress. Not only would you suffer the inconvenience of the plumbing and drainage emergency but you would have to find an engineer capable of fixing the problem and this can sometimes be difficult, especially if it happens outside normal working hours.

That’s why we’re pleased to offer customers a new comprehensive Plumbing and Drainage Emergency Insurance through London General Insurance Company Limited (LGI), for only £4.75 a month, which includes cover for your supply pipe. There really are no hidden extras to worry about. So when things go wrong, it will be sorted out with no hassle 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s just great service!

Peace of mind for you - protection for your home
With a Plumbing and Drainage policy, help is only a phone call away, day or night, 365 days a year. In an emergency, a qualified, approved plumber will be sent to you normally within two hours, if not sooner.

Unlike many other policies, your water supply pipe is covered from the junction with Bristol Water’s external stop tap to the point of entry into your house. Any problem on your supply pipe could be very costly to repair especially if you have to locate the problem and then excavate and repair it. Specialist equipment is usually needed for this type of problem.

In addition, the policy will cover costs that are not usually included in a home contents or buildings insurance, including call out charges, parts and labour for up to £2,000 per incident (incl. VAT) for external drainage emergencies, up to £2,000 per incident (incl. VAT) for underground water supply pipe emergencies and up to £1,000 per incident (incl. VAT) for internal plumbing emergencies.

So whether the problem is a severely blocked drain or a burst pipe, with Plumbing and Drainage cover you can relax – just one phone call will take care of everything, with bills settled directly with the engineer.
