Breakdown cover

You'll have no repair bills for up to 5 years
- cover starts from only £11.99** for up to 3 years' cover

Whether you're buying a big TV or the latest PC, a video recorder or a dishwasher - it can pay to take out Breakdown Cover.

When your product breaks down it doesn't just mean expensive repairs bills - it's a big headache too. But with our Breakdown Cover you can relax. We'll fix the problem quickly and the repair will either be carried out at your home by a qualified engineer, or we'll arrange for a courier to collect the item from you. Generally, we pay the repairers for parts and labour, so you have no bills to pay, however in some cases the customer will be required to pay and then claim back for money paid out.

We offer cover for up to 3, 4 or 5 years, depending on the item's manufacturer's guarantee. We will tell you what cover is available when you buy an item from us either in-store, over the phone or online. Your product will also be covered for accidental damage for the full term of the policy. Breakdown Cover can be taken out when you purchase your item in store, over the phone or online, but you also have up to 45 days in which to purchase it, just return to store with your item's till receipt.

Our in-store leaflet provides details of the cover that is available.

Example

If you buy a TV which has a two year manufacturer's guarantee, you can then buy a 4 year Breakdown Cover policy, which will provide cover against mechanical breakdown and failure for a further two years on top of the manufacturer's two year guarantee.

For items below £150 please see our Replacement Product Cover page.
