What our customers think of us on Trustpilot

Outside drain blocked. Contacted British Gas late afternoon, Dyno Rod attended 10.30pm. Problem sorted, drain cleared. Very good service.

 

Trustpilot 5 stars

I had a really bad pipe leak. British Gas sent Jack from Dyno the next day. He was friendly, professional and did an excellent job.

 

Trustpilot 5 stars

Absolutely amazing! Our Dyno engineer Ryan was polite, courteous, and professional and went above and beyond - he stayed until 7.45pm to fix my leaking toilet.

Frequently asked questions

What is plumbing and drains cover?

Plumbing and drains cover is an insurance product that combines plumbing cover and drains cover. If you ever have any problems with your home's plumbing or drains, just go online and book an appointment. One of our Dyno experts will be round to fix things. All parts and labour are included as part of the service, and you also get unlimited call-outs all year round.

Why would I choose plumbing and drains cover?

Plumbing and drains cover is a great way of getting extra peace of mind, but it's not generally seen as an essential type of cover like home insurance for homeowners. It's especially useful for people who don't have a network of trusted tradespeople because you have the reassurance that comes with 24/7 access to experts from Dyno – one of the leading names in the industry.

What happens to my renewal price after the first year?

The price you’ll pay at renewal is likely to increase as your introductory price will have ended, but it will be tailored to your specific details. If you’re paying by direct debit, you will automatically renew, however you can still choose to change or cancel your contract, we'll contact you before your renewal date to remind you.

Why am I getting a different price after entering my address?

We use information about your location to tailor the price you pay for plumbing and drains cover. Factors such as water hardness and property type may influence claims costs, which is reflected in your price.

Can I speak to someone if I have a question?

You can call us on 0333 202 9668* Monday to Friday: 8am - 8pm, Saturday 8am - 2pm.

*We may record calls to help improve our service to you. Calls to 0330/0333 numbers will cost you no more than 01 or 02 numbers from landlines or mobiles. If you get 'inclusive minutes' with your package, calls to 0330/0333 numbers will be part of these.

How do I cancel my cover?

There are three ways you can cancel your cover:

  • Start a live web chat
  • Call us on 0333 202 9343
  • Or write to us at HomeCare Membership Office, Murdoch House, Bothwell Road, Uddingston, G71 7UD

Our call centre and web chat teams are available Mon to Fri, 8am-8pm and Sat to Sun, 8am-6pm.

If you cancel within the first 14 day of your cover start date, we’ll give you a full refund minus charges for work completed prior to cancelling. We call this the ‘cooling-off period’.

If you cancel after 14 days, we will refund any premiums paid for the remaining insured period, less any administration fees. Where a repair or service has taken place, you may have to pay the remainder of your annual premium.
