“Awful Servive”
Written on: 07/08/2019 by Coughlin388 (1 review written)
Had a leaking joint under the bathroom sink and leaked onto the living room ceiling, causing damage to a section of the ceiling. contact Barclays Home insurance , explain what the problems was and was told that I can submit a claim. Sedgwick was assigned to carry out the assessment. The assessment was totally wrong. I was not at home to explain and answered any question. He was in and out within 30.00mins. The claim was repudiated without any conversation. This company was un-professional in… Read Full Review

“home insurance”
Written on: 03/03/2018 by BrendaJenkinson (1 review written)
On 1st March I needed to claim due to a leak that had caused wet rot and full damage to our bathroom. The staff at the Perth Office were very informative, understanding and professional ( the worst weather in Perth today) . A cash settlement was agreed and made at the point of this telephone call which I am more than pleased with. Many many thanks to the wonderful staff. … Read Full Review

“Loyalty To Shareholders”
Written on: 11/10/2017 by davidowenf (1 review written)
Absolutely disgusted at the renewal quote and home and contents price I have been paying for years from them. £800 a year just looked to renew with Churchill and with a better level of cover 25% of the cost. Even Mr Turpin wore a mask.I have been loyal to Barclays, not any longer absolutely disgusted that they do not have their customers interests at heart very very angry to be honest as I had not been paying attention.Fool me once fool you fool me twice fool me and I am not your fool any… Read Full Review

“Consistently surprising me”
Written on: 17/06/2016
I suppose it's bad to think that i excpected to not have such an easy time with my claim. However in the last 3 years i have lost some very expensive In ear monitors costing £900 replaced on my contents insurance and my mobile replaced on the tech pack. Both times were so quick, call staff where helpful and fantastic. And i got my phone back in 2 days. it was totally smashed (s7 Edge so tricky screen to fix) and they did it fantastically. Repair centre definitely deserves a shout out. Very… Read Full Review

“DECLINED”
Written on: 26/03/2016 by yfJacobs1990 (1 review written)
Went through quote process for contents insurance with Barclays today and after a long list of questions it was declined? No reason why no link to suggest where to get further information from which all seemed very odd. Then went on to another providers site and was offered contents insurance straight away. Feel its pretty shoddy to not even offer a reason or explanation why they refused. Pretty poor service really… Read Full Review

“Execellent Service”
Written on: 13/03/2016
I had a burglary on 13 Feb 2016,my wife's jewellery and approx £1500 were stolen. I had my content insurance with Barclays. I put my claim in the very next day and was expecting to go through another daunting experience after my burglary. However, I was so pleased to see the whole process proceed so smoothly and quickly that to not leave a review would have been an injustice to Barclays Home Insurance. The total time consumed in settling the claim over the phone was less then an hour and… Read Full Review

“Poor admin and an extortionate rate hike”
Written on: 16/12/2015 by alanhastings (1 review written)
I have purchased Barclay's Finer Insurance for a number of years, because I thought the idea of specifying 'valuable' cover a good one and there were other benefits, legal cover as standard, items protected away from the home etc. It was never a cheap policy, but I thought I was getting value. Each year the premium increased, but I was able to restrict the amount of increase. Invariably, this led to errors in the direct debit schedule. There was an apology and I was offered a cash payment… Read Full Review

My wife lost a diamond out of her trilogy ring.When i got the estimate it was £175 for the stone and £125 for the setting of the stone and rebuild.I was told by the insurance they would give me only £100 as i have £75 excess and the stone came out because of ware and tear.So i would have to pay for it fitting myself.When i took out the insurance they said if something was broke/stolen/damaged they would pay to have it replaced.What a lie… Read Full Review

Written on: 23/12/2014
Typical of them. They love to use "ware and tear" as a get out clause. I made a genuine claim for an incident i had no control over and they classed it as ware and tear. I have been paying extra for the full accidental cover, too.
AVOID AT ALL COST !

“avoid”
Written on: 16/06/2014 by ClaudiaKennedy (1 review written)
We claimed a flooding damage to the wooden floor. they removed floor boards in two weeks time, we are in the 4th month now and job still hasn't finished yet, nothing has been done since. there's a Barclays contractor called Expert. they're truly dull minded and dull acting. they can't communicate they don't return calls, total failure. my living room at the moment is inhabitable, I can't invite people it's like a building site. Barclays is not reliable at all. This contractor called Expert is… Read Full Review

“Home Insurance.”
Written on: 07/03/2014 by brooks2714 (2 reviews written)
After being with Barclays Home Insurance for nine years,i had enough with them trying to claim for Storm damage and Legal Cover. After paying £37.25 a month for basically nothing! WORST ever,never go with barclays,customer loyalty does not come into it! Saved myself £240 for the same cover with a better company. Even though i had to pay £12-86 to leave the policy. Rip off! Glad i made the ultimate decision. … Read Full Review

Been flooded and says I can't claim for tools my husband use around house just excuses after excuses from him. When you ring Barclays their answer is speak with your loss adjuster which he's just full of poo and treats you like your thick
