What is the home insurance handyman service?
This is a DIY assistance service for small home repairs, generally electrical, plumbing or carpentry repairs, where a specialist technician comes to your home and carries out the necessary repairs.
What is included in the DIY “handyman” insurance assistance?
This guarantee covers travel expenses and the cost of the technician’s labour for up to 3 hours per intervention. As the insured person is responsible for the materials necessary for the repair, we recommend that the insured person has already prepared the materials before the company’s repair technician arrives at his home.
How many times can I request the handyman?
The number of DIY services depends on the type of home insurance usually between 1 and 2 times per insurance annuity.
