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.

First Time Insurance

I rung this company who offered me a policy for my daughter who is a learner driver, the policy covers provisional insurance but once she passes, the insurance fee doesnot change, ie so we pay a one off insurance fee which covers her from provisional to full, also she builds up her no claims bonus. Car has to be fitted with a black box but with no restrictions, I spoke to Nick really helpful, always called me back when I asked, no waiting for ages to be put through when I first called, really impressed, policy is underwritten by Aviva. After making lots of phone calls this is the only policy I found that offers the above.

Poor service and cancellation charges

Paid £350 insurance 3 weeks ago. Decided to cancel after purchasing new car. Got back £186. They also charge £50 admin charge for setting up the policy, non-refundable. Charge another £50 to cancel the policy, then deduct 100% of the commission they earned, and then deduct the insurance premium for the time used. They were the cheapest, but charge excessive fees to cancel. Customer service also not the best - they don't call back and take ages to pick up the phone to arrange a cancellation, but pick up in seconds when it is a new policy.

30 Minutes waiting time for Call back,

Customer service is horrible, waited almost 30 minutes when asked to call back. You can see those people are the only busiest people on earth, our time has no value. What a shame on best policy, best insurance and best service quote.

Never a Problem

I have never had to claim so I don't know what the claims department is like, but every time you have to call you always talk to someone who know what they are talking about. They know about cars which sounds funny but some insurance companies just don't bother but every time just seems like SKY make it personal, been with them 2 years and hope to be with them a third come renewal, had to do a change of vehicle and apart from a admin fee was done with no fuss. I asked for a copy of the insurance documents by email and 2 minuets after the call I had it in my email box and i was off to buy my tax. They are a small company and are not going to be competitive for everyone but if you are a car enthusiast they might be the people for you.
