The difference

The day it breaks, here's what you won't be doing.

Ringing round for an engineer.

We've already built the network. Trusted, qualified local engineers, vetted and approved to our standards before they ever arrive at your door.

Waiting for office hours.

Report your problem through My Account whenever it happens, day or night. We'll have the details we need to get things moving.

Bracing for the bill.

You'll know your excess and what your plan covers before you join, so there shouldn't be any surprises when you need to use it.

Chasing for updates.

We'll keep you updated as things move along, with our team there if you need us.

Explaining it three times.

Once you've told us what's happened, the details stay with the claim. Our team can see what's going on, so you don't have to keep starting from scratch.

Discovering the small print afterwards.

We show you what's covered before you join, so you can make sure it suits you. And if you ever want to check again, your plan details are always there in My Account.

Your job is to open the door.

Our story

Built because home cover should feel like help.

We started Domestic Appliance Guard in 2017 after seeing the home cover industry from the inside. We'd seen what worked, and we'd seen what happened when a customer who needed help became another number in a queue.

We wanted to build the kind of company we'd trust in our own homes: clear cover, simple ways to get help, people you can reach when you need them and a strong network of engineers we trust to look after our customers.

Nine years later, we're still founder-led. Technology now makes it quicker and easier to manage your cover and report a problem, but the principle behind the business hasn't changed.

When something goes wrong, we take ownership of what happens next.

Our engineers

Local engineers. National standards.

One of the most important parts of our cover is the network behind it.

We've built a nationwide network of independent local engineers and specialist firms, so when something goes wrong, we're not starting from scratch trying to find somebody to help.

Engineers are vetted and approved before joining our network and must hold the appropriate qualifications for the work they carry out. We also expect them to meet the standards we set for service, professionalism and the way our customers are treated.

It means the person arriving at your home is part of a network we've already chosen to work with, backed by our team throughout the job.

  • Appropriately qualified for the work they carry out
  • Vetted and approved before joining our network
  • Local engineers and specialist firms across the UK
  • Standards for service and professionalism
  • Supported by our team throughout the job
