THIS IS NOT A PROPER INSURANCE COMPANY. We had a break in in April whilst we were asleep upstairs, and called Tesco to make a claim for stolen items. We were told to provide two estimates for goods stolen. We then spent the whole weekend compiling printouts of these items and sent them to Tesco. Eventually we were told that they would be sending an investigator to talk to us and this would be a 3 hour interview. After one cancellation they turned up to interrogate me about the robbery.

Had to make a claim due to what looked like the roof beams pushing through in my daughters bedroom.... Nice and easy or so i thought, it took three of there structural engineers all with different verdicts on the cause to tell me that I was not insured. Originally they put it down to storm damage and the weight of the snow causing the beams to deflect. then they put it down to accidental damage??? and finally down to my chimney causing the problems so that they did not have to pay out.....

Hi Im sorry to hear of your horrendous experience at the hands of them, I too have had over a year of the same hell, misery and hardship battling with this organisation. They have cost me my business following a flood at my trading premises it took them two months to even come out. I feel they have tried every disgusting trick annd bully tactic in the book to misguide, mislead, intimidate and cheat me. When this didnt work I believe their statement taker then tried to blackmail me . When this didnt work they tried to ignore my complaint for two months. When this didnt work they said that they had sent correspondence in the post that must have got lost.
When I rang their claims solutions representativve he told me what I felt were bare faced lies. When I became upset on the phone their loss adjustor screamed at me and demanded I go and get a bank loan and act as my own insurer to put right the water damaged premises and buy emergency stock . All this time I had no income and no help from them, let alone any compassion.
As a single parent I cant tell you what a misery they have made my life and how this organisation has gone out of its way to ruin both my business and my life.
Even their senior managemennt will not offer any accountability and have purposely evaded the truth when confronted.
I submitted a SAR ( subject Access Request ) to proove what I had discussed with them, they really didnt want to comply with this but eventually they had to and I have sent this to the Ombudsman who is now dealing with them on my behalf.
Gab Robins are callous , they will try at any opportunity to twist your words and discredit your claim and your name if you let them. Even if you say something quite innocently they will try to mis construe it.
Definately document everything, save every email and include every detail in every email to cover yourself.
Gab Robins will also give you conflicting instructions then they will dispute what they have told you. I have never met such toxic and unprofessional, dishonest people.
It comes to something when the Loss Adjustors are the ones commiting fraud by falsifying documents then when theyre caught out by META DATA their CEO has to apologise.
GAB Robins still maintain that their has been no wrong doing even now 13 months on .
It has cost me my business that I had worked so hard to build up for the last six years. It has made my life a living hell and caused my health to suffer, I have not worked since.
I just hope that The Ombudsman will uphold my complaint and investigate the dubious and unnacceptable practices of Gab Robins.
Stand firm against this organisation, otherwise they will walk all over you .

Hello
I am sorry to hear of your plight with GAB Robins. I too am having an absolute nightmare with them. I had to make a business claim and they were assigned and the words appauling do not even come close to them! I am about to lose everything because of their incompetence and rudeness not to mention that they put obstacle after obstacle in the way of the claim. Its a disgrace and the insurance companies hide behind them. I hae gone to the Ombudsman but the lies that they and the insurance company are saying is a joke. I sympathise with you and I will be taking them and Hiscox to court if they do not sort this out. I hope that you get it resolved soon. Take care

4th December 2010 following the heavy snow we had a flood of water through our roof. We tried to contain the water and contacted Tesco's to envoke the Home Repair Network however this was declined as Tesco's dont have numbers or contacts for local businesses it is the loss adjusters that deal. We could have get a temp repair done upto £250 however this may not be refundable if Tesco's decline my claim. The loss adjuster was booked to come on the 6th however failed to arrive due to road...

This Company's Home Insurance Service is absolutely appalling. I put in a roof claim in December 2011 following the heavy storms. Despite the claim being under £300 and authenticated invoice being submitted within 7 days it took countless phone calls and letters (always answered by a different person) to get absolutely nowhere. Eventually after many months of going round in circles I contacted the Financial Ombudsman and lo and behold as soon as the ombudsman had contacted Tesco... (read more)

If you not having hot water is due to your boiler, then it's unlikely to be covered under your home insurance. This is why there is seperate boiler cover out there.

Would not recommend Tesco insurance to anybody. Clearly their business model is set up on ensuring they don't pay out to anybody. We had a definitive claim due to storm damage and it has taken over 3 months and we have still not seen a penny! This is despite a number of reminders and chase up emails. Their 'mandates' all have expiry dates on designed to catch you out so if you do receive any credit notes for replacement carpets etc then they are likely to expire without you noticing. ...
