Emergency Home Assistance

A 24/7 call-out service for home emergencies

This complimentary service offers a short-term fix for minor emergencies that happen in the home.

What does Emergency Home Assistance include?

Plumber fixing pipe under sink

Emergency Home Assistance is available for minor emergencies that occur in the home and need a short-term fix. For example, a broken window, a plumbing problem or a damaged roof.

Just give us a call and we’ll send an AXA-approved tradesman to your home within 24 hours to patch up the problem before it gets worse. This will give you some time to get it fixed at a later stage.

With Emergency Home Assistance there’s no need to panic if you have an emergency in your home because we’ll be there to help, whether it’s day, night, a weekend or a bank holiday!

Will this service affect my premium?

No, AXA’s Emergency Home Assistance is a complimentary service for home insurance customers.

Availing of the service does not mean you are making a claim, so call-outs and repairs won’t impact the price of your premium the following year.

For when you need help the most

Imagine there’s an issue with your heating – your boiler isn’t firing and you need someone to come and look at it, ASAP. The only problem is, it’s a Saturday night on a bank holiday weekend. Chances are, you will struggle to find a plumber available out-of-hours, and on a bank holiday.

With Emergency Home Assistance, there’s no need to panic.

Not only will we send a tradesman to your house within 24 hours, but you won’t need to pay for the out-of-hours call-out.

Regardless of if the emergency happens on a bank holiday weekend, during the Christmas or Easter season, or just late at night – Emergency Home Assistance is there for you, 24/7.
