Avoid at all cost.
I took out a Home Emergency Essentials contract for an annual premium of £189. Approximately 10 months in to the life of the policy I had a plumbing emergency whereby water was flowing from a faulty radiator valve. I called the emergency claim line - nothing, no response in over an hour of holding on. I ended up getting the services of a plumber on call-out.
I complained; the complaint was ignored, twice. I wrote to the Financial Conduct Authority who looked into it but said they could not act as Smart Cover are not regulated by the FCA. So that was a complete waste of £189. Avoid at all costs.

1st time I haven't been totally satisfied
I've been having my boiler serviced annually through Smart Cover and have always been satisfied with the process and service. However this year the service was completed in 10 minutes. Everything was ticked off as working on the sheet but I find it difficult to believe a thorough service can be carried out by 2 engineers in 10 minutes.

Dear Sudha,
Thank you for your review. Your policy has been transferred to Home Tree, who now manage your cover and claims. We’re sorry to hear that your recent experience with them did not meet your expectations. As the policy and claims are now managed by Home Tree, Smart Cover is unfortunately unable to take further action regarding this matter.
Kind regards,

Handled promptly and efficiently and were adaptable to suggestions.
My dealings were with Katherine Hayes who kept me informed and updated me on progress regularly, by email and by phone. When I recommended an alternative arrangement she was happy to suggest this to the insurer and this was acceptable to them.
A satisfying outcome

Timely and courteous service
Smart Cover rang me when they said they would (this was to arrange a date for a boiler service), but later were unexpectedly able to fit is in earlier, due to a cancellation. Everyone, including the claims handler Katherine Hayes, was very professional and polite.
