James Peter serviced my boiler. He was friendly, efficient & informed me of what he was doing. He spent a good amount of time servicing which was not like other boiler engineers who do a quick 10 min... See more

Tumble Dryer Repair Call Experience
The agent that handeled our service call (Katherine Hayes) was attentive and continued to keep us updated as we needed a part to be sourced and then followed up with ensuring we had an engineer appoiintment done and that they attended and that we where satisfied with the work done.
We are very pleased with the service recieved. The tumble dryer is working fine.

As soon as I contact Smart Cover to repair my Washing Machine, I have been contacted by one of their Customer Service Katherine Hayes she handled my claim and updated me with the engineers visiting time and the replacement of my washing machine as it cannot be Repaired. I recommend Smart Sure Cover for their speed communication and decision.

Katherine Hayes organised our boiler service all was good with that.
All other interaction with the company was not as good so won't be renewing contract
Poor Customer Service
Claimed for our washing machine which had broke down. The operator said they would get back to us with a repair engineer within 24 to 48H. Have had to phone them twice with limited success to be told that the claim was being considered by the underwriters. Meanwhile we have no washing machine - its this type of emergency that this type of insurance is meant to minimize. The staff I have spoken to have been useless. This is the first ever claim on our policy which covers all the white goods in our kitchen and I am less than impressed with the response and service. Needless to say I can't recommend this company and I won't be renewing my policy

Still waiting
I contacted Smart Cover at 12 noon today to report that we had a blocked toilet. I stated that we had only one toilet in the house and that my wife and I are pensioners.
The operator insisted that we pay 3 months premiums in advance before taking our claim. We thus paid the additional money and told an engineer will call us when they are on there way.
Well it's nearly 11 o'clock at night and not a word from the company.
I've rang their 24/7 helpline on 03333449247 on numerous occasions and all we get is a recorded message saying that they are busy and leave a message. We we did leave many messages but still no one calls back.
We have paid our monthly premiums in good faith but have been so let down.
We don't have any family or friends nearby by to use their toilets.
What are we supposed to do?
Please can someone help us?

I was very pleased with the response after reporting a fault with my TV.
The claims handler, Katherine HAYES, arranged for a local technician, Paul, to contact me to discuss the fault and ultimately fix the problem. Katherine kept me updated and monitored progress.
I was impressed with the level of communication by Katherine and efficiency of the repair.

Con artists…. The worst ever company I have used the service is rubbish and staff so unprofessional, great way to answer the telephone (Hello) we have had no cooker working for 4 days now, firstly have to wait for approval then another waiting again for an engineer. Clear off Smart Cover go go domestic and General so much more professional, I have paid over £1200 for the last few years I have been with you. So £14.99 a month. And service has been awful. And to try and make a complaint is having a fight. This company should be investigated and closed down. Messing around with people’s money ( promise after promise but don’t deliver.
Rapid service
Quick service and made sure to keep me updated regularly. This was thanks to Katherine Hayes.
