Review of the Churchill Insurance, Home Insurance:

Completely let down by Churchills

1
Churchills don’t even deserve one star. Having had a roof tile dislodged during Storm Dudley I put in a claim for repair. However Churchills just accepted a report from one of their assessors that wear and tear was to blame. The report was based on photographs only; no-one went up on the roof and yet 'nail fatigue' was mentioned as a possible cause. I asked them what was more likely: a tile that has been in situ for years suddenly fails due to wear and tear during a severe storm, or that storm winds might have dislodged it? No answer. Just fobbed off with repeated references to the assessor’s report. My questions and points to them were not even addressed. Just ignored. And my only recourse now is the Financial Ombudsman. This would take months. Churchills know this. I have no option other than to get the roof repaired. They win. Of course. I will not be using this company ever again. The worst kind of insurance experience. Terrible service. Reviewed on: 8th March 2022

Churchill home insurance review

Take over a month to even look at claim, then handlers (who all seem to work part time) hide from you, never answer phone and lie about trying to contact you. Then when one person says they'll pay then they offer you 20%,. Lesson learnt, will use someone reputable in future Reviewed on: 14th February 2024

Churchill Home Insurance

Awful insurance company, engineer did not perform a proper diagnostic on the boiler error code, he could not even locate a waste condensation pipe or undo a screw so left, sat in his car for 15mins then went. This has resulted in Churchill not willing to cover my claim, leaving me and my son to have a cold Christmas and l will probably have to buy a new boiler. They also increased my renewal by 30%. I have Churchill Hone Plus which should be called Churchill Home Minus for all the exclusion payout clauses they have. Reviewed on: 21st December 2023

Are existing customers treated fairly?

When my home and contents cover came up for renewal I was horrified that the premium had gone up by over 35% so we did some research for better offers. Using the same data we discovered that insuring house and contents separately was much cheaper than doing them together. Churchill also told me on the phone that if I went elsewhere then I would get a better offer next year! In the end we have re-insured partly with Churchill and gone elsewhere for the contents saving us nearly £90 overall. Reviewed on: 27th August 2023

I’m fortunate that we haven’t had to make any claims for years. On our renewal the increased costs were a concern. Following a discussion these were reduced. Reviewed on: 26th August 2023

Be careful, they sneakily jack up prices over time

They bump up your home insurance price 20% every year of you don't contact them to reduce it They charge monthly payments as a credit so there's another 20% ripoff there Reviewed on: 14th June 2023
