I'd appreciate opinions on a general question about insuring against domestic water problems...
My elderly Mother-In-Law currently seems to have insurance for absolutely everything. She receives an alarmist flyer telling her the world will end if her tap leaks and bingo - she purchases another insurance product. Unethical marketing, isn' it?
I'm starting to rationalize her numerous insurances and it would be helpful to get an idea of repair costs for some common water type problems. I understand costs vary but assume a reasonable fee from a reputable independant plumber (in North East Kent, if that matters).
Excl VAT
1 Replace washer in leaking tap
2 Replace ceramic cartridge in leaking 1/4 turn tap
3 Replace leaking (overflow) valve in loft cold water tank
4 Repair pin hole leak in section of accessible mains cold water copper pipe.
5 Replace mains inlet stopcock.
6 Replace syphon in close coupled cistern.
Other thoughts on insurance products would also be appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.
