I was referred to SW for Home Buildings and Contents Insurance by Compare the Market as after answering all the questions,they appeared cheapest. I contacted SW on line to clarify a couple of points and was asked a few more "standard questions by their agent,before agreeing to the policy and paying annual amount by credit card. When policy papers arrived I read through them as requested and noted a question ~ that I had not been asked - was on the schedule "are there any children under the... (read more)

“'Home Emergency' ”
Written on: 03/03/2013 by Rippedorf (1 review written)
I had had a claim turned down for a gas leak from the back of a fire which is almost impossible to reach without knocking part of the wall down. They point blank refused to honour my 'Home Emergency'claim. I would never use Sheila's Wheels or Esure it's parent company again. Be careful with your payments though or you will find yourself paying for another year's renewal with this awful company. (read more)

“Poor Claims Service”
Written on: 15/01/2013 by Jekiel1980
We recently made a claim through our home insurance through Sheila's Wheels. During strong winds in November our wall blew down causing quite a lot of damage. When we reported to Sheila's wheels they appeared to be very helpful and advised a Loss Adjuster would contact us to discuss. They did so and the damage was inspected a few days later. However despite the service we received at the offset we have been messed about by them since. We were asked to provide 2 estimates for damage,... (read more)

Having had our car written off by another driver, who admitted full liability, our policy was suspend. Having called customer services three times, to confirm that we could use the rest of our policy, we received a call, while driving to get an emergency prescription on Sunday for my nine year old daughters throat infection, saying we could pay a £1000 or our cover would be removed immediately, the cover was then removed.

I'd been a customer of there's for a while taking their home emergency cover as well as home insurance. Recently we had a problem with our electrics so I rang them to get an electrician out (we have a 3 month baby). It turns out they've completely removed any problems with electrics from their home emergency cover! I mean no electricity and a tiny baby, what could be more of an emergency? They said it was all detailed in the mountains of 'policy documents' they sent to me when I renewed... (read more)

My home insurance is with Sheila's Wheels. Nice and cheap. When I went to make a claim I found that Sheila's Wheels was "created" by esure, so the claim was handled by them. On 12th April I reported that my son had taken my mobile phone swimming LITERALLY! At this stage I wasn't going to make a claim, we were hoping to dry it out. On 16th April I phoned them back to say that the phone was dead. I had shopped around for a replacement phone. Carphone Warehouse had it for £499 but I found my... (read more)

I insured my car and sent through proof of no claims bonus as requested. Today I noticed that my premium had been returned to my bank less £55.00. I telephoned to find out why. The answer was the type of proof was not correct. I had sent the renewal documents from my previous insurer, this has always been adequate before. They said on the telephone a letter had been sent but I had never received a letter telling me they required another proof of no claims bonus and today I find I was... (read more)

Written on: 08/04/2012
I've had buildings and contence insurance with Sheila's Wheels. Never made a claim, so therefore can't comment on this. My problem has always been trying to tell them I do not want to renew the insurance with them. With the buildings insurance I sort of take the blame for half the trouble because I just cancelled the direct debit and took out another insurance with another company. So when it came to renewing the contence insurance (which I'd had for two years with them) I cancelled the... (read more)

Have got home cover for high risk items out of the house. If a laptop is used "in part or at all for work" its not covered. They claimed stuff stolen from her work was not "looked after or secured responsibly".

I found their cover to be very cheap however it was a major nightmare to claim when we experienced our fire in the flat. The assessor was very quick to come check the house out and make a note of what happened. We were told that the next day someone would come value our goods before they get taken away for cleaning, restoration and or replacement. The firm who came to assess our goods smelt of booze so badly that I almost got drunk off the fumes. He did not even look in the cupboards so I... (read more)

I locked myself out last week so called Sheila's wheels about my situation. They told me that if I claimed under my insurance all costs for a locksmith etc. would be due a £100 excess. Fair enough because that's what it says on my policy. What they did NOT tell me was that as I had home emergency cover then the excess fees would not have applied. I did not realise at the time and by the time I did it was too late because I had already paid for my own locksmith to gain entry and fit a new... (read more)

I was burgled on 24 May 2011. I have buildings and contents insurance and Emergency Cover. Rang on 24 May - guy came out 4 hours later to secure door. Not a professional job cos had to ring back 2 days later and complain because I'd had to seal bubble wrap on door frame to stop draughts and because I could see daylight through gap at the side. Another 4 hours later a different guy came and he did make the door more secure. I was told the Assessor could not come out for a week (31 May 2011) and when he came I was told that it would be another week (6 June 2011) when they will come to put the new double glazed sealed unit back into the patio door. Mmmmmmm (cannot put down here what I'm thinking and saying to colleagues)
but if I say I've steam coming out of my ears, you will probably understand

We have had our building and contents insurance with Sheilas Wheels for a few years now and have never made a claim up until last year when we were burgled, while we were asleep upstairs. We logged a claim (for around £2000) (which they never ever took the full details of) and were then told we had to fill in a form valuing EVERYTHING in the house, garage and shed.

We have home and contents insurance with Sheila's Wheels. We were recently burgarled and the experience we have had in the process of our claim has been appalling.
We put in a claim for just shy of £2500 for items taken.
They asked us to fill in a form going through each room of the house detailing everything that would need to be replaced if the house burned down. This was not something they had asked us to do as part of taking the insurance out. They said it was just admin.

We live in a house with no back garden and only a front door. When the door lock mechanism failed on the door recently, leaving us trapped in the house, I checked the policy (I have Home Emergency) and it clearly states external door locks. Feeling confident I then spent an agonising couple of 45 minutes 'on hold' sessions waiting for them to answer, only to eventually be told by Homerserve, to whom they contract out all of their repairs that, I only have cover for lost keys.

I have recently made a claim with this company.
Their system is very very poor.
They ask for two quotes (except they do not tell you this from the start),they then send an assesor out.
Its very difficult to get a builder to turn up and give a quote.
They pretend thats all you have to do.
When I faxed the quote off, they then asked for yet another quote.
I said to the girl to just get their own people to do the work or send out an assessor. She assured me they only needed one other quote.

DONT get cover with Sheilas Wheels. As I write this review (In July) I am still awaiting finalisation of my claim which I made in April. Sheilas wheels 'farm' all their claims onto other companies to sort, so the 'buck' doesnt stop with them. The customer service is poor and although the premiums maybe cheap this is reflected on the service. If I had known they were this rubbish I would have paid more for a different company. I have given it one star (but only because I couldnt give it nothing). (read more)

Up until recently I've never made a claim on my home and contents insurance. I was therefore under the impression that all insurance companies were pretty much the same apart for price. The low quote for insurance was the reason I chose to go with Sheilas Wheels. What a mistake. Now when I've come to make a claim...

Cheap - Yes
But - Just try making a claim.
Takes weeks. 5 weeks and counting to be told they will not start processing for at least another week.
Call centre takes ages to answer - if you get through at all.
They don't tell you what you need to know.
Verdict: Buy cheap if you want, but just hope you don't need to make a claim.

I have a big problem too with Sheila's Wheel's concerning a gas leak from a fire, they would not entertain me, even though we had 'Home Emergency' cover on top of buildings and home cover I would never use them or their mother company Esure again. Is there a decent insurance company out there....probably not! Oh and be careful or you might find yourself paying for another year if you don't cancel.

I found the co-operative home insurance to be excellent. A bit more expensive, but their home emergency cover actually covers emergencies and the call centre people are great.
