Yesterday we saved a client $2,704.62 on their Commercial Motor Insurance... I could think of a lot better uses for that amount of money!

No tricks or gimmicks, we even reduced this client's excess in the process.

Flexi Excesses can be useful in some instances, but we always look at the value it's giving you compared with the additional cost at claim time.

We want you to win, not the insurer.

If you've never needed to make a claim before, the process can feel overwhelming and emotionally draining at a time when you're already under pressure from the event itself.

This is where having an insurance broker can make a real difference.

Because we don't just help arrange your insurance policy — we also advocate for you during a claim, help explain the process, communicate with insurers on your behalf, and provide guidance when things feel uncertain.

So when you're looking at our pricing compared with the direct market, that's one of the biggest differences - care factor.

We care about you, we will listen to you.

And we will support you when it matters most.

Burst pipe claims are one of the most common insurance claims we see, and sometimes the most stressful to navigate.

A few key tips:
✔️ Understand your policy coverage early to know what is and isn't covered
✔️ Ask about temporary accommodation if needed
✔️ Take photos before repairs begin in case repairs don't stack up
✔️ Don’t rush into accepting a cash settlement
✔️ Lean on your broker for support and advocacy throughout the process

Some burst pipe claims can be resolved in a few weeks, others can take months so having the right guidance and support along the way really matters, and that's where we come in.

I had the team update their profiles on our website recently, and I just loved Erin's words about why she loves insurance:

"It's such an important and rewarding industry to be a part of because it helps people protect the things they work hard for. Having the right coverage in place provides our clients with peace of mind, so that a single bad day doesn’t undo years of hard work and effort."

Most people just pay their premiums year after year without seeing any benefit from it, but working in the industry we do get to see insurance doing what it was meant to, and advocating for clients when it doesn't.

Because when you work with us you're not just a number, you're a valued client who matters. Get to know more of our team here!

How much do you think this cost to fix?

We've all done something silly like leave a tap running or the iron plugged in... for this client it was leaving Drano in the bath tub without rinsing it down.

And as you can see, that stuff is powerful!

We hadn't seen damage like this before so we asked for an insurance builder to take a look, and they initially presented a cash settlement offer of $2,825 (less the client's excess) for the bath to be re-enamelled.

Before we accepted the offer we wanted to make sure that this could actually be done for this amount of money, and quickly discovered that it could not. Because the tub was built in to a concrete slab, it meant the plug/waste couldn't be taken out without destroying the entire bathroom.

It took an extra 2 months of back and forth, but we ended up getting the client a much larger cash settlement offer of $19,840 (less the client's excess) allowing her to actually do the work required.

Not only is this a great example of Accidental Damage to a client's home that wouldn't have been covered by a standard Listed Events policy, it also shows the difference that a great insurance broker can make because we held the line and kept pushing for the right outcome.

Thank you to our beautiful client for allowing us to share the details of this incident, and if you've ever done something similar you might like to look at adding Accidental Damage cover to your own Home Insurance!
