A question about : Tesco Home Ins

My Tesco home ins. renewal quote was Ј294.00 for the Standard cover. Looked on line and have now renewed at Ј195.30 PLUS Ј50.00 cashback!

A question about : Standing water from United utilities property

Hi,

This summer we suffered serious flood damage when standing water from a United Utilities site escaped into our propery.

The insurance company have paid for the damage (nearly Ј25000), but we're very concerned this will happen again. Last night we had a minor flood, but luckily no water entered my propery, although we could here it running under the house through the air gap.

A question about : July 2007; the nightmare continues

I'm in Gloucester and my house was flooded on July 22nd 2007. My house was declared 'dry' and the building work was completed in January this year. So far, so good.

A question about : Leaking roof

I have just discovered that part of the roof off my semi victorian has been leaking as I found a puddle in the loft. I can't see any holes or even cracks but right above the puddle, the wooden frame has white mould growing and when I touched it the wood was getting crumbly and flaky.

Firstly, is this an emergency and secondly, would you claim it on your insurance?
