Damage to a leather sofa.

Millie Newton dealt with my claim(501553226) for the accidental damage to a leather sofa. The whole experience was great, I was kept informed of the progress of my claim and a home visit to inspect the damage carried out swiftly. I then had the choice to repair the damage or accept a financial settlement. Really good service from this company. Stephanie Ingram

Claim for personal belongings

Amy dealt with my claim in a very professional and efficient manner. She used her in depth knowledge of my insurer and my policy to ensure that my claim was settled in the most satisfactory way possible. Thank you!

Excellent staff response

The staff were clear, helpful and very responsive. When one person was unavailable, others could access all the details and keep me informed. The case was closed in less than two days after the accident and I’m able to order a new TV in time for the Scotland match. I was quite stressed during the process but it was all resolved quickly and easily. The offer was fair and quickly resolved. Very impressed.

Excellent experience

Fatima was helpful throughout the claim. She communicated effectively . Once the claim with reference 872350 was initiated by my insurance company and passed to SBS . The whole process was seamless and my claim was paid out and completed quickly. The service and attention to details by Fatima was excellent.
Yours,

I claimed for a stolen phone

I claimed for a stolen phone. The whole claim was dealt with and settled within 7 days. An absolutely brilliant service by these guys. They called, emailed and settled the claim with complete professionalism and made the fact that my item had been stolen a whole lot easier. I highly recommend.

SBS claim number: 877027

SBS dealt with my ring claim repair. The service was amazing from start to finish. I was given a direct contact of Melanie Rochester who contacted me as soon as my insurance company had referred the case. Melanie kept me informed throughout the process answering questions straight away.
The ring was repaired and returned with a really quick turn around. The ring is back to its former glory and I couldn't be more happy. Thank you 🙂

Loss need not be traumatic

This is a company that treats traumatic times with calm, helpful professionalism. My wife had lost an expensive piece of jewelry and was very upset at the loss. SBS, in the form of Joseph, were sympathetic and eased us through the claims process.

Superb service from start to finish

Superb service from start to finish on my claim (873623). All the claim handlers I spoke to were magnificent - friendly, efficient, polite and just throughly good. It's heartwarming to get such great treatment, especially from a financial services company.

So, well done Pav, Stu, Conor, Paul Chalice, Milly, Jake R, and Ethan.

Thank you.

Claim reference 879454

Claim reference: 879454

After losing an item of huge sentimental value, I contacted my insurers on Saturday afternoon to begin a claim without any expectation for such a swift and positive outcome. I was contacted on Monday morning by Claire Ingram at SBS to discuss the item I had lost (also spoke to her colleague Ben Randall when I called back) and by Tuesday morning my claim was approved for settlement. I had a reference number, a direct phone number and named contacts; no long list of automated options but actual people who instantly accessed my claim and didn’t need me to repeat the details every time.

While no amount of money can compensate me for the sentimental value, the care and compassion shown by Claire and Ben have made the loss a little less painful. They were both professional and sympathetic, courteous and compassionate, I can’t praise them highly enough for their service and support.

Smooth easy claim

Pleased with outcome from beginning of claim to the finish. I could speak with the claims assessor and could arrange a convenient time to visit. He gave some good advice and brought carpet samples. The carpet fitters were booked. The team arrived fitted and cleaned up. Very pleased.

Excellent Service

I felt very awkward about this situation; however, the service that SBS provided was excellent. Joseph Tranter was amazing to deal with. He kept me up to date with the process and was very courteous and understanding throughout.
