As anyone got this? Is worth the £18 per month?

You would be better off seeing if a reputable local plumber could provide the same level of cover for less. I have done this for several years and found it so much easier (and cheaper) dealing with someone local rather than having to contact a call centre and then only be given am/pm appiontments with all the hassle that entails. My policy (covering 3 properties) costs me £95 per year.

i've got the cover and have had a proper result this year.

first off they do the gas safety certificate for you (saving of £60ish), service the boiler as well.

also have had them come out and replace the parts of the boiler when it !!!!!!ed up.

also had dyno-rod come out when the drain was blocked

all for £19.75 a month, (got it 7 months ago and forgot to go through quidco! doh)

had my fair share of call outs and has worked well for me, just to have piece of mind.

How many call out's do they let you have?

Is there a excess?

unlimited and you pay nothing, except for as I believe if you're boiler is uneconomical to repair.

if you have less than 2 call outs per year i think you get a discount next year.
