What we do
We specialise in Home Emergency claims management, fixing everyday breakdowns such as broken boilers, burst pipes and electrical failures.
Why we do it
Experiencing a home emergency can be a stressful time so we believe our customers deserve outstanding customer service and support, delivered by our fantastic team based in Hebburn and our national supply chain of engineers.

Your days will be varied, however there are some tasks that are as standard, such as:
Taking inbound and making outbound calls to speak with customers who require help with their home emergency (we do not cold call; all our customers are expecting our calls and happy to hear from us).
Arranging for our engineers to attend and alleviate the emergency promptly.
Ensure repairs and return appointments are progressed as quickly as possible.
As your time with us progresses, your knowledge will improve and you’ll advance to more complex claims management, relating to individual insurance policy coverage and quotation calculations.
