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.

Very bad company - was unable to give quote and completely forgot about me!

Rang for a family fleet insurance quote, gave all details several times and they just ignore everything, take details and say they will get back to me in 15 minutes, been 3 days still no contact. You have lost a good customer!

Disgusting Service - Do Not Touch!

My son a new driver insured his car with this company (brokers) and after 2 weeks we decided to cancel as got a cheaper insurance elsewhere with multi-car.......we cancelled on the 4th February this year and still waiting for nearly 800 pounds to come back. They have taken nearly 500 in fees and not justified why and when we ring up to ask for money you get rude ignorant staff that do not seem to care about our predicament answering the phone with as much use as a 'chocolate teapot'.......My son earnt every single penny of his money and now has to wait 6 weeks for the privilege of having it returned. If you want our advice go and find another business that is much more willing to help you and give you help rather than antagonise people into having to write these reviews as they have been poorly dealt with.

High charges and poor service

Sky insurance along with most companies nowadays hide behind terms and conditions and dont give a hoot about customers. I renewed my policy with them in January 15 on the basis that theire quotation was the cheapest and only on that basis. My partner passed his test and when i tried to add him to the policy i was met with all sorts of charges that just escalated the price and then they wouldn't cover him on the insurance as he had only just passed his test, they recommended another policy but turned out that was not suitable either and when i tried to cancel the charges were hyped up, £90 commision and £50+ admin fee meant i would only get back around £60-£70 of a £450 policy. Ive dealt with many many insurance companies over the years and this company has some of the highest fees and charges - Maybe thats how the cheap policies are maintained. Its also true that when taking a policy out with them the service is quick and friendly, However if you call to make an ammendment or to cancel then expect to wait 20+ minutes and then we do get through to a 'person' dont expect a friendly chit chat, if you get the advisor i spoke to then expect to be challenged on everything you say and a good helping of rudness and dis-interest. Me, Personally i wouldnt use them ever ever again ever even if they offered me a free policy. Sky insurance dont adopt a 'human approach' or cap their charges and just hide behind terms and conditions.

Rude and slow service with high cancellation charges

30 minutes wait on each call to get rude service. Tried to cancel after a week but £150 of charges. No 14 day cooling off for them apparently!
