Feefo Gold Trusted Service Award 2018

We’re delighted to announce that we’ve received a Feefo Gold Trusted Service Award, an independent seal of excellence that recognises businesses for delivering exceptional experiences, as rated by real customers.

My Holiday Home Insurance has been providing holiday home insurance to customers throughout the UK and Europe, for over 13 years. It’s a family-run business, so we treat each customer as an individual.  As specialists in the industry, we take the time to understand your needs and we genuinely love what we do. Best of all, there are no call centres, so each time you call you can speak to the same person, and this is what makes us truly unique.

Created by Feefo, Trusted Service is awarded only to those businesses that use Feefo to collect genuine ratings and reviews. Those that meet the high standard, which is based on the number of reviews that they have collected and their average rating, receive the award. This accreditation remains unique as it is based purely on interactions with verified customers. As all reviews are verified as genuine, the accreditation is a true reflection of our commitment to outstanding service.

The Feefo Gold award applies to service to insurance policyholders who have holiday homes and cottages in the UK as well as holiday homes and apartments in Europe, plus holiday lodges and leisure lodges. We collected at least 50 reviews with an average rating of between 4.5 and 5.0 during 2017 in order to qualify for the award.

Tips for barbecuing safely this summer

Summer evenings on holiday are the perfect time to light the barbecue and enjoy some al fresco dining. While this can be a great opportunity to relax and socialise, take care to reduce your fire risks and avoid any accidents that could spoil your holiday.

BBQ

Here are some of the do’s and don’ts of barbecuing to help you to enjoy your holiday barbecues safely this summer.

Do

  • Barbecue at least 10 feet away from your home
  • Ensure children and pets are kept away from the cooking area
  • Keep the barbecue on a flat surface
  • Keep a watering can, fire extinguisher or sand close by
  • Use long tools to barbecue in order to keep hands and clothes away
  • Check for any cracks on the hose attached to the cylinder of a gas barbecue
  • Dispose of ash carefully and after it has fully cooled
  • Ensure the barbecue has cooled down before moving it
  • Check that you’re not contravening any local regulations or byelaws

Don’t:

  • Leave the barbecue unattended
  • Barbecue indoors
  • Use a barbecue inside any structure that could catch fire i.e. a gazebo or tent
  • Ignite the barbecue’s fire with petrol or lighter fuel squeezed from a bottle
  • Overload your grill with food – too much fat dripping onto the flames can cause a flare-up
  • Turn on the gas while your grill lid is closed as it can cause gas to build up inside your grill
  • Drink too much alcohol – keep a clear head if you’re in charge of the barbecue

If you are unsure of what cover you have in place for fire risks, please check your insurance policy document or give us a call.

Keep these tips in mind, be safe and enjoy your holiday barbecues this summer.
