How does our Landlord Emergency Insurance work?

Boiler breakdown

During a particularly cold snap last winter, on a Saturday morning, the heating boiler at our insured’s rented property broke down. As our insured’s tenant had three young children, our insured was keen to resolve the problem as soon as possible. The insured contacted us and we immediately appointed a contractor who attended later that day and ordered the replacement part needed to complete the repair to the boiler. The part was fitted the following day and the insured’s tenant was able to heat their home again.

Burst pipe

Our insured called when a burst pipe in the bathroom of their rented property was causing water to drip through the kitchen ceiling causing damage and distress to their tenants. We arranged for a contractor to carry out an emergency repair on the pipe and stop the leak.

Security

When a burglary left our insured’s rented property with a smashed front door window, the insured contacted us as the property was unsecure. We immediately arranged for a contractor to board up the window. A further claim was made on the insured’s landlord’s insurance for a full replacement door.
