Is claim for home emergency cover a claim on contents?

In practical terms no home insurance underwriter would take any action if they found a customer had failed to disclose the unblocking of a drain through home emergency cover.
That's exactly my point. Car insurers do precisely that - people here have been advised that emergency windscreen chip repair is a disclosable incident.
So is it like car insurance, or are house insurers more lenient and less pedantic?This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -

Hmm, I'd say the unblocking of a drain on home emergency is analogous to a windscreen chip repair.
I'm not sure what threads you're referring to, but I'd guess people have been advised to discose a chip repair to be on the safe side.
I'd be hugely surprised if someone got into trouble with a new insurer for not disclosing a chip repair though. (Windscreen replacement would be different)0
