If you wish to cancel your policy, you can do so at any time by contacting us.
If this is within the 28 day cancellation period and you haven’t made a claim, you will receive a full refund. If you have made a claim, you’ll receive a refund minus the number of days you had cover.
If it’s after the 28 days and you have made a claim, you will need to pay any remaining payments for the full term of the policy. If you haven’t made a claim, you’ll receive a refund minus the number of days you had cover.
See the terms and conditions of your policy for more information on cancellation.
Whilst you can make a boiler claim before the check has been done, please note that we’ll complete the health check first and it must pass for us to be able to progress with your claim.

All of our gas products come with a boiler health check, which needs to be booked within 90 days from when your policy starts. During this appointment, our Gas Safe registered engineer will check that your boiler is on our approved list and that there are no pre-existing problems with your boiler or central heating system. If we find that it’s not on our list or discover a fault, we’ll…
- Tell you what needs to be done to fix it and how much it’ll cost.
- Remove boiler cover from your policy or cancel it completely depending on the level of protection that you hold.
If you need to claim for a boiler problem before the check has been done, we’ll carry out the check first and it must pass before we can progress with your claim.

In your first year of cover, or if you move home after 6 months of cover:
- If the boiler is less than 7 years old, we will arrange a replacement and cover the installation costs.
- If the boiler is more than 7 years old, we will arrange a replacement, but you will be required to pay for the installation costs (including parts, labour and VAT).
Your cover is set up so that it will automatically renew every year. This is to make the process of renewing easier and ensure your home has continuous cover. We’ll send you a reminder about 4 weeks before your cover is due to renew. This will confirm the price of your cover for the next year and prompt you to check that it still meets your needs.
The price of your cover will increase at renewal. Customers about to renew their cover for a second year can expect to pay £42.82£42.82 a month* (£513.84£513.84 for the year), provided they have made no claims.
If you’d rather your cover didn’t automatically renew, you can cancel this feature when you apply. Alternatively, you can log in or contact us to switch off automatic renewal at any time afterwards.
If you decide you don’t want your cover to automatically renew, you’ll need to contact us each year to renew it yourself and organise payment.
No. You only have to pay your insurance premium and - in the event you make a claim - your excess.
Premiums include Insurance Premium Tax at the relevant rate and are subject to factors such as inflation and tax rate changes.
