I keep getting mail from Thames Water promoting their
"Water Supply Pipe Cover" Policy at a (reduced) annual £11.88
or £2.97 monthly by Direct Debit. Sounds a good idea ....
But is it correct when TW state that the homeowner is
responsible for repairs between the tap in the road all the way
into the house? Covers up to £2000 incl. VAT per claim.
Seems quite low considering the cost of work these days .....
Anyone ever claimed under this policy? I already have plumbing
emergency cover from TW which is sensible in my view.
I am sure it's priced to sell - the above is an introductory rate
(£4 off). Thanks for your comments.

Unless the house is pretty old and you have evidence of other
propertied nearby needing supply pipe replacement, a better option is
to set up a monthly standing order into an interest bearing account to
cover unlikely expenditures like this.
The same goes for domestic appliance insuraness.
