What an absolute joke

What an absolute joke. I set my insurance may 2023 and they call me today to tell me after a year, that any gold in my house would not be covered by their policy. That this would be an additional payment. Wth your telling me this today, when asked why wasn't this flagged up, said it was because it was set up online. So where was that disclaimer online to tell me that? Do not waste your valuable money with these clowns. I asked for then to resend the email or letter, apparently they called me in 2023? 🤔

First time claiming SKy home insurance…

First time claiming SKy home insurance and having a complete nightmare, for an emergency fix and with a vulnerable person in the house with a window frame hanging off the wall, first called Tuesday AM, eventually got through and they hung up, told someone would be out within 24 hours, didn’t happen, called back today and no ticket had been raised, contractor came out, said he couldn’t do the job an hour ago as it needed a building assessment , now left with an unsafe wall and window in my sons bedroom which he can’t use and no further info, absolutely dreadful service, and now have my son sleeping on the couch for a 3rd night with an unsafe bedroom, would most definitely NOT advise using this company

I have taken a new car policy via 1st…Central

I have taken a new car policy via 1st Central and it appears is underwritten by Skyfire. I have requested a hard copy of my policy and have still not received it. I have lodged a complaint with the broker now. I have been given an address for Heywoods Heath Uk. If I had known how bad this company and the broker 1st Central were I would never have dealt with either. I have been driving for 35 years.

Absolutely awful home insurance

Absolutely awful home insurance. I had a blocked pipe which caused my kitchen to flood (my wooden floor is now ruined) and they sent out a plumber who said the pipe is blocked and the soil pipe is faulty. He told me to call the insurance back and ask them to send a drainage company. I called the following morning at 9am and they said they had assigned someone to me. Hours passed, I called again at 11, then at 1.30 and both times they said the same thing. When I called again at 3pm, they said no one was actually coming as I’m not covered because the soil pipe is faulty. Firstly, why make me wait all day to tell me that? I took a day off of work, I had no bathroom facilities available as the waste water coming from the bath and shower was causing the flood and I have a small child. I managed to get a drainage company round the same day (and paid evening rate) who sorted the blockage in 45 minutes; he said the soil pipe didn’t cause the the actual blockage so technically I should have been covered. I’m absolutely disgusted with this insurance product and would strongly recommend others are not fooled into using them.

Fantastic service

Fantastic service, Luke T helped me out a lot with my insurance and answered all my questions. I'd been looking around all day for a good quote and this was better than any others that I could find, highly recommend!

When we took out insurance with these…

When we took out insurance with these thieves they were called Sky insurance, seems that they are now Safely insured, probably due to all of the negative reviews,, my daughter insured her first car with them and after 8 months they proceeded to issue a 7 day cancellation warning for exceeding mileage, there was no prior warning but lo and behold when you phone them every thing can be put right for a £167 fee to buy extra mileage, just before the end of her term with them they done exactly the same thing and told her that she would not receive her one year no claims bonus unless she paid the £167 again, this was 2 weeks before her policy was due to end, I will now seek advice from a solicitor to find if such disgusting behaviour is legal, I'm guessing being that they are an insurance company it is, as it seems with these sharks anything is acceptable, if you get a quote from these thieves do yourself a favour and go with someone else as you will end up paying more anyway.

No NCB received after 4 weeks of cancelling

Sky insurance gave me a ridiculous renewal so I shopped around and got cheaper anyway on to canceling the insurance was fine but when it come to receiveing my NCB they sent me the wrong amount of years out which only took 5 days to receive so now at this point my new insurance was waiting on the NCB as sky insurance made a mistake now after ringing sky and telling them they said they will get it sorted and get me the actual years sent out to me after waiting over a week I rang them about it because I'd not received it yet and they kept blaming this on covid and back log so I was reasonable but then 2 weeks later still received nothing so after loads of back and forth with them and by this time it'd been over 3 weeks and I've still not received my NCB after phone call after phone call they just kept telling me the same thing and still NCB received which has now gave me a cancellation on my new insurance and my premiums will more then likely go up after this I would advise people to be very carful as this could be you I will no longer be using sky insurance again and I will make sure people I know will avoid these as well

We insured our son with this company…

We insured our son with this company yesterday on compare the market . We called to validate the insurance this morning and when asked about modifications we said there was mini spoiler but we can take that off if need be as it was only cosmetic. They said they would need to cancel the policy outright and charge us a £60 cancellation fee !!! This surely is a scam or if not a scam a very unethical way of increasing their revenue. Cancelling policies must be a lucrative practice.

Been with Sky previously and I’ve just taken out my second modified car policy. Kyri was brilliant, perfect customer service and provided a much better quote than I received elsewhere. Thank you Kyri!

They do not care for there customers…

They do not care for there customers and will force you to cancel your insurance and be harsh with how you are driving on your box policy it is outrageous and chris inwood is the most rude unwelcoming person at this company and needs to be fired for the way he handles his customers!
