Tesco Bank Home insurance reviews (117)

Didn't Answer The Phone

I waited about half-an-hour to get through to renew my home insurance. They didn't answer, so I went with Privilege instead. I am going to move my business and car insurance too. Not impressed. Poor show Tesco, you have just lost a very loyal customer. Reviewed on: 26th June 2023

Efficient, Friendly and Courteous Service

We had a water leak situated behind a tiled wall from inside a shower cubicle within our upstairs bathroom. It appears that the water leak may have been active for a long time but only became apparent when the kitchen ceiling, adjacent bedroom wall, floor, ground floor WC and linen cupboard (all contiguous to the shower unit wall) became wet. Having called an available plumber he determined the likely source of the leak (which would require further investigation) and isolated the shower water feed.. On telephoning Tesco Home Insurance Claims (we have not made claims before), we were reassured by the response by the customer handler and that we had carried out the right course of action. She immediately gave us a claim reference and authority for the plumber to carry out further tracing work to identify the leak. After several days the plumber was available to return and identify the leak, which required extensive work (cutting through kitchen ceiling, removing all tiles from the shower and lifting carpets and floorboards. Tesco Home Insurance immediately reimbursed us for the payment of this investigation work, and designated Claims Consortium Group to provide an assessor to visit to determine the validity of the claim and likely cost of repair work. The friendly and knowledgeable assessor attended within a week not only validating the claim but giving us an expert advice on what remediation work would be required. Although Claims Consortium Group could carry out the work within the costs estimate, my wife's health issues meant that it was preferable for us that we had our local tradesmen to do the work required. The remedial repair company and Tesco Home Insurance agreed to this course of action and authorised a modified claim quote payment, which we believe under the circumstances was fair and acceptable. Tesco Home Insurance and the Claims Consortium Group provided excellent advice, efficient processes and procedures throughout this worrying event of circumstances and we would highly recommend their services.

Friendly, efficient and honourable

Tesco handled my claim with great ease, they addressed all of my questions right from the start and set out a timeline that they not only stuck to but also made it easy for me to feel confident I was being looked after. Reviewed on: 1st June 2023

Storm damagr

Been in the building industry for 40 plus years, so called surveyor turned up to view roof, and didn’t have a clue how to survey damage, couldn’t wait to inform me that damage was caused by storms. People stay clear from Tesco Insurance. Reviewed on: 11th May 2023

Bogus insurance comapny

Please don't go near them. They never pay you any claims. Not support from customer service, waste of time and money Reviewed on: 28th April 2023

Look for reasons not to pay.

Property & bldg now with Tescos, storm Noa on the 12th April took ridge tiles off and the surveyors report said that as the roof was old and obviously well worn before the storm then that was the reason that the ridge tiles came off, so Tescos not liable. Don't be fooled by the household name of Tescos. Reviewed on: 21st April 2023

Rip off merchants

My renewal arrived yesterday. Last year home insurance was £278 this year same house, same people no claims. As it arrived the day before Good Friday I am unable to contact then for four days, I can’t wait to hear the explanation. In the meantime I’ve have six other quote’s including Direct line nothing comes anywhere near that ridiculous quote. Won’t use them again be warned Reviewed on: 8th April 2023

Avoid at all Costs

It is impossible to contact Tesco Home Insurance should you need to. They do not publish an e-mail address but insist that you phone - this simply cannot be done - After 10 minutes of listening to an inane recorded message that is of no interest to anyone - you get to listen to never ending music. They are however very good at accepting your money and sending all e-mails from a "donotreply" address to ensure that you cannot speak to them. ie "take the money and run!" Atrocious Customer Service Reviewed on: 26th March 2023

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

When you read all the previous bad reviews there not lying! Tesco insurance is utter waste of money and time, they will do everything within there power to say wear and tear or any loop hole to not sort the issue or pay out. Shocking service. Avoid!! Reviewed on: 19th January 2023

Enquired about a leak, no claim made, yet this is not noted on my file so insurance more than doubled

We had a lead from a radiator that I phoned Tesco Insurance to find out what to do. They advised that this would not be covered by the policy, but the follow up remedial work maybe. I found out that all the work would be less than my excess, so phone to let them know I would not be claiming and paid for the work. When I got my new Tesco insurance quote in, it was over 100% more that the previous one and now the non-claim is noted on my file event though I didn't claim any money. Surely this is some sort of GDPR issue keeping data that is not needed? Anyway, didn't renew, will not renew either car insurance and will avoid. Reviewed on: 9th December 2022
