Emergency plumbing insurance
Peterborough-based franchise business Drain Doctor Plumbing – the UK's largest emergency plumbing and drain repair service – has launched a new home emergency insurance policy.
Peterborough-based franchise business Drain Doctor Plumbing – the UK's largest emergency plumbing and drain repair service – has launched a new home emergency insurance policy.Called Drain Doctor Home Emergency Cover, the new policy is offered through a partnership with Home Assistance UK Ltd and is underwritten by Royal and Sun Alliance.
The new policy provides assistance immediately after an unexpected event, including damage to roofs, and doors or windows in addition to the core business of blocked drains, burst pipes or problems with the main heating system.
In addition to its own network of franchisees to deal with plumbing and drainage issues, Drain Doctor has established a network of authorised and carefully vetted contractors on which it can call to attend other types of emergency, day or night – normally within three hours of receiving a call.
Drain Doctor chairman Freddie Mitman said: "Our Home Emergency Cover has been designed to give our customers peace of mind. Finding a reliable tradesman willing to complete emergency work at very short notice can be a real challenge.
"With Drain Doctor Home Emergency Cover we will have an approved tradesman with them within three hours in emergency situations – 24 hours per day, 365 days of the year – and there is no excess to pay so the cost of unexpected repair costs is avoided."
Operations manager with Drain Doctor Robin Banks added: "We have selected our contractors on their merits and we are not tied to any single company or organisation. This gives us additional flexibility to send a contractor out quickly and efficiently to tackle any problem that needs immediate corrective action.
"Work on plumbing and drainage emergencies will be undertaken by Drain Doctor technicians while electrical, roofing and locksmithing will be carried out by partners in those sectors who share the same service philosophy as Drain Doctor."
Launched in the United Kingdom in 1993, Drain Doctor Plumbing has quickly grown to become the country's largest emergency plumbing and drain repair service.
