Hi mser!!!8217;s
Whilst I!!!8217;m about to pay upto 100 pounds to a local plasterer since my ongoing home emergancy replacement lock which caused considerable damage.

Any mse!!!8217;;s offfer recommendations
I want to change content provider
Essential:- all contents and items repaired or replaced
Emergency home lock and entry
Hotel accommodation if A serious event occurs (which i used once)

2018 existing provider cost 18 pounds per month
I!!!8217;d prefer if possible to keep cost upto 20 pounds per month for my 1 bedroom flat
And my tech purchases-most of which have been Apple devices

Thanks in advance
I only run 1 quote today-thought I was going with direct line today line for similar cost until I had to add emergency cover-total cost became expensive upto 30 per month

    You need to shop around for yourself.
    What is competitive in one postcode may not be in another.

    Home emergency update by letter today.
    My unexpected £80 cost recently is to be refunded by Axa acting for previous home emergency.
    Result though no payment with letter.
    Does the term payment is being 'raised' suggest maybe a cheque is on it's way.
    Interesting my 'complaint' isn't being upheld as I signed the pda device to allow the repair man home that evening.
    Additional option of continueing via Onmisbudman if I want-though maybe I'll accept the 80 pounds as that was the cost of plaster repair.
