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.

We don't insure Diesel automatics any more

I had insurance on my Bmw 730d se Automatics with sky this year up until June when it was written off. I purchased a jaguar xfr but found it expensive to run. So I sold it and brought a jaguar xj 2.7 diesel. And sky refused to insure it saying they don't insure Diesel automatic cars any more. So had to cancel they charged me nearly £200 only been insured two months lost nearly £400. Disappointed.

Great no pressure experience

Always a pleasure to talk to Luke at sky insurance on the phone, no pressure sales environment, they do their best to get you a competitive quote and let you know what it is, after that its up to you to decide! Happy for you to get other quotes as well before deciding, although often they have the best-priced quote anyway and combined with not being pushy overall makes for a great experience.

What more do you need?

Have always used Sky since I got my previous car as they had the best price and the service has always been spot on (shout out to Luke!) can't complain again this year with another great price and quick and painless setting up!

Quote

Twice they were meant to ring back with a quote, twice they couldn’t be bothered.

Sky Insurance excellent company!

Insurance up for renewal with Sky. Great price, way cheaper than the competition but most importantly it was nice to deal with an insurance company that actually know what they're talking about. Spoke to a really nice fella called Luke....couldn't have asked for better customer service. Genuinely nice bloke. I've been a customer of Sky for a few years now and I will most likely continue to be for many more!

I had a terrible experience from Sky…

My partner (45F yrld no convictions)had a terrible experience from Sky Insurance. She tried to get insurance for a 4lt v6 #210HP!!!!! mustang, A standard golf GTi has more# they took all her details then asked what she drove at the moment. She told them a ford focus. they then went on to ask her what cars she's previously owned. told them, then they asked if she'd ever been insured on a "high performance car" before. Answered yes on company insurance, given the fact she managed the largest hypercar hire company in the uk, she explained she'd driven many higher performance cars than a mustang. He then called her back and said because she drove a focus they couldn't insure her!!!! They wanted proof of her having insurance for a similar vehicle, told them it was company vehicles so they refused me insurance. Has anyone else been asked for proof of what theyve driven previously. feel totally discriminated against as a female driver!! Given that you can get a vw golf with more horse power than a V6 Mustang what is their problem. she has no offences, tickets outstanding, over 25yrs driving with no disqualifications, points, tickets etc.. Whats everyones thoughts???

10/10 service

I called Sky Insurance to get a quote for an additional vehicle for my policy. I spoke to Luke who was thorough and made sure I knew everything that I needed to know, but more importantly he spoke to me as a person, and wasn't just trying to process my quote etc as quickly as possible. He was very personable and for me is an asset to Sky Insurance. It is reassuring being insured by a company who are all car enthusiasts and happy to speak to you, have a friendly and good spirited chat and share car based stories. Very, very happy with the service. Whatever you're paying Luke, it isn't enough! Thanks Luke, I really appreciate your time on today's call.

Luke the legend!

After a long time on hold, got through to Luke, who I've spoken to on a few occasions before and I have to say he's doing a grand job, as it sounds like the ranks are a bit thin right now! Knowledgeable, patient and efficient service once again. Thanks!
