Two plumbing visits for less than £12

I just got a letter in the post from Veolia Water saying they're offering 11 and and a half months of plumbing cover for just £11.88 for the year (the trick is that after 12 months the price goes up to £84.99 per year, so you must remember to cancel the direct debit).

The £11.88 includes two claims per year up to £2,000-worth each.

Seems like a good deal to me.

    I don't agree - although the lack of central heating breakdown cover is pretty useless

    I get blocked drains and pipes in my flat fairly regularly, this is good for that.

    Although I wouldn't want to use it for anything else having seen what's not covered

    Doubtful, central heating is not covered so that would probably be out of the question. :rotfl:

    i think maybe if your plug gets stuck they might send someone out to advise on removal - you can't expect them do actually reomove it

    These 'insurances' are an absolute scam and I don't believe that people are so gullible as to actually fall for it.
