Boiler cover for one that is already broken

My GF has just rented out her home - 4 weeks ago and the boiler has broken :(
a local guy has had a look and said it needs some board of some kind but wasnt 100% sure.

What are her options now.
I know British Gas do landlord cover called Repair and Cover 200 which is £99 for the initial callout as it is already broken and then £20 a month from then on.

is that the best option or are there others to go for.

Should she just insure/repair as herself or as a landlord and what other places do this kind of cover - eg already broken boiler cover.

thanks in advance :)

    What a wonderful idea, could we have house insurance after the fire as well?

    British Gas do offer this kind of cover I was just checking if others do the same and costs.

    British Gas Repair and Cover 200

    maybe they are in a league of their own in which case they get the business. worth checking on a moneysavingexpert forum though don't you think?

    Agreed they will cover after repairing. However they will probably say, "spares not available better buy a new one from us"

    I guess British Gas are the only option.
