Example claim

Having handyman insurance through Simply Business has saved maintenance and odd jobs experts thousands of pounds when the unexpected happened.

Theo saved more than £16,500

Theo (not his real name) was working on a customer’s bathroom – removing the suite, replacing the floor, and decorating. He tried to turn off the water at the mains but failed to do so fully as he didn’t realise the supply to the area had been shut off by the water board. The bathroom then flooded as a result. Luckily, he could turn to his handyman insurance to cover the cost of putting things right.
