Kitchen out of action after an escape of water, a burst pipe, a flood or a fire? Many home insurance policies include alternative accommodation or loss of use cover, which can pay for a temporary kitchen pod on your driveway, so you can stay at home while it's repaired.

How it works

  1. Send us your claim details

    Your insurer, your claim reference number and your home address, using the form on this page.

  2. We contact your insurer

    We discuss the hire and the pricing with your insurer or loss adjuster, and agree everything in writing.

  3. We deliver your kitchen pod

    Delivered, installed and connected at your home, and collected when the repairs are finished. Where agreed, your insurer is invoiced directly.

What's in the pod

  • Gas oven and hob
  • Fridge freezer
  • Dishwasher
  • Washing machine
  • Sink with hot and cold running water
  • Heating, plus fire and carbon monoxide safety equipment

Gas Safe checked, PAT tested and fully insured. Delivery, installation, collection and gas are all included. See inside the pod.

Pricing: we'll discuss the pricing with your insurer directly.

Send your claim details

Fill this in and we'll contact your insurer for you. It takes about two minutes.

Questions

What do I need to send you?

Your name, phone number, email and home address, the name of your insurer and your claim reference number. If you have your claim handler's or loss adjuster's details, add those too.

Will I have to pay anything?

We discuss the pricing with your insurer and, where agreed, invoice them directly, so you may not need to pay anything upfront. If your insurer won't cover the pod, you can still hire it yourself at our usual prices.

Does home insurance cover a temporary kitchen?

It depends on your policy. Many include alternative accommodation or loss of use cover. We check what your insurer will cover when we contact them.

Can I stay at home instead of moving to a hotel?

Yes, that's what the pod is for. It goes on your driveway with a full working kitchen, so you can stay in your own home while the repairs are done.

How long can I keep the pod?

As long as the repairs take. There's no maximum hire, and we agree any extra weeks with your insurer.
