Advantages: None Disadvantages: Worse than money for no cover, makes you think you have cover whilst the problem gets worse!
HomeServe plumbing and drainage cover advertises a two hour response time.
After a month, more than five hours on the phone, two days off work, and hours writing letters asking what was going on, HomeServe decided that my policy did not cover the leaking tank in the attic. I had been able to tell them exactly what the problem was on day one.
This was despite (eventually) two engineers who eventually came and said that it would be 'no problem'. The first said he was not fully qualified. Had to wait a couple of weeks for the second. Both had to be provided with ladders and the first did not even carry a torch, all this for a well-described leaky tank in an attic.

Johnny Debonair (aka JD, aka Johnny D!) grows up with his slightly odd mother and no father in Kent before being taken to stay at his Grandmothers in London when his mother gets a little too 'odd'.

I would not normally have stayed in a 5 star hotel, but I was lucky enough to win some money towards a holiday from the company that I work for. Obviously, with free money, you are going to push the boat out a bit, and I am glad we did!!
Location/Area
