Absolutely terrible service I have been with them for 7 years. To start with they were great to deal with and customer service was good.Now, the customer service is lower than poor. I have to phone them all the time. They promise an engineer but no one comes out. After chasing for 4 days I eventually get an engineer visit who confirm the fault with the appliance and a replacement appliance is necessary. They sent the report whilst in my home. I chased Smart cover who say they are still waiting for an engineer visit. When I confirmed they have been they said they need to wait for the report, despite already having this. Chasing 4 days later, they confirmed they have the report but it needs to be reviewed. Another 3 days and I chase. After arguing again, they confirm a replacement machine is needed as it is beyond repair. I am told to wait a few days for the replacement team to confirm which products I could have and any additional costs. You guessed it... no emails. I need to phone again to chase for the emails. I know this is a very poor and doesn't appear to be a legitimate service provided. I am now considering taking thus to the ombudsman to get them investigated as Im feeling uncomfortable with paying 7 years of premiums and not getting the services that was paid for. I will be reading their terms in detail to see if they have breached any of their obligations. I think enough is enough.

Absolutely horrendous Company. Stay away, it has taken nearly 5 weeks and still no resolution. My dryer was condemned by an engineer and I'm still waiting for a suitable replacement been offered. You have to pay £41.50 for delivery and a month's cover money before they will order a new appliance. Customer service are absolutely terrible and don't get back to you or keep you informed you have to keep calling them. If I could give a no star review I would. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY !!!!

Smart cover are the cheapest Home emergency cover however they have a long list of small print which you will never read nor did I. What is a home emergency? Losing entire power in Winter is an emergency I am sure you would agree however Smart cover refused to come out as they had no engineer for 2 days? My Shower bar was leaking they replaced it with a very cheap replacement 8 months later the bar is faulty but now its not a emergency therefore will not come out I always though you get 12 months warranty with any new part not with Smartcover and their small print. Be aware please they will look for all get out clauses to visit and repair. Pay a bit extra and use Homeserve or British Gas I have used both and I had no issues. Lesson learnt with Smart cover never will go back a waste of money I ended up paying for my repairs myself plus paid premium to Smart cover

I have had Smart Cover for 2 years now. They have fixed and replaced things without any strings attached. The people there are responsive and courteous

Very poor service, not willing to help in any way, I wouldn't use this company. All they want is your money and don't help with a solution. Said to read policy in my email but not even recieved the documents. Convince u it be a good idea to go with them and your covered and then not telling u all the extra hidden fees. 75 pound a year but then 250 excess on top. More than the tumble dryers worth. It's all designed and set up for u to fail. Don't care about the customer just want your money. Shocking company and jist cos its there policy doesn't make it legitimate. Its a form of malpractice and there a conclumerate company coning u out of your money. Do not use this company

I had a claim with smart cover in August 2022 the engineer that came couldn't find the fault,said that he had touch some wiring and it “seems” to be working ok, the following morning no hot water and the boiler stops working again and has to be reset. I called smart cover only for them to say it is classed as a intermittent fault and that the underwriters will not cover that, and suggest that I call glow worm and get them out to repair it, at my own cost of £299 fixed repair price which I could not afford. After a over month of the boiler having to be reset every morning it has finally stopped completely, I called Smart cover this morning to be told that because I didn't contact glow worm in August they will not cover the claim ABSOLUTLEY DISGUSTING BUISNESS ETHICS!!!!!. So now I will be cancelling mine and my mothers policy both due in December. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND FIND ANOTHER COMPANY!!! ZERO STARS IF I COULD

Very pleased with my communications with firstly, Aaron who was very helpful, and then Steve who was able to confirm I was covered and arranged for plumbing engineers to call out to me. Steve then found a new drainage company for me when the first couldn't attend for 3 days. Very impressed with your customer service, thank you.

What an absolute RIP off don't waste your money. Got leak under sink rang for to be informed they'll just turn off and then I'll have to pay for a plumber to fix. Isn't the whole idea of insurance for them to fix .. definately never renew with these...

have used Smart Cover for a number of years and really would highly recommend this company. Over the last few days I have had the pleasure of dealing with an extremely friendly and efficient chap by the name of Shane who has dealt with my dishwasher problem admirably. Initially they had an issue locating a part for the faulty dishwasher but then Shane came to the rescue and sorted the whole thing out by replacing the original dishwasher with a new one (like for like). True to their word Smart Cover honoured their insurance promise. Very impressive indeed. Many thanks.

Very pleased with the service, and the engineer was pleasant and easy to talk to. Althought had to recall the engineer back after the first fix to the appliance as, although machine was now washing, after the cycle finished and shown END and lock light went out, an E01 message was on. Engineer came out again no problem now completely working well. Just one downfall, the time I was without my machine working.
