Frequently Asked Questions
What is boiler cover for landlords?
Boiler Cover Landlord is a plan designed to protect landlords from boiler and central heating breakdowns. It also protects them from plumbing failures, electricity blackouts, drainage, home security, and pest control.
Who can buy landlord cover?
Landlord boiler cover can be bought by anyone who owns a property and rents it out to tenants. This includes owners of houses, apartments, or flats that are rented out.
What is the average price of landlord boiler cover?
In the UK, landlord boiler cover costs £5.99/mo, with this price range you can start with a cover that protects you from unforeseen risks.
Does Landlord cover replace boiler?
Landlord cover usually focuses on repairing the boiler rather than replacing it. If the boiler cannot be fixed and is deemed beyond economical repair, replacement may be considered depending on your specific plan, age of the boiler, and the maintainence plans. Full boiler replacement is not always included, so it’s important to check the level of cover you have.
Is Landlord cover a Legal Requirement?
Under UK law, landlords are legally responsible for maintaining safe living conditions, including heating and hot water. While the law does not require you to hold landlord cover, you are liable for repair costs, property damage, and tenant claims if something goes wrong. This is where cover becomes essential in practice.
Are there any limitations on landlord boiler cover?
Yes. Landlord boiler cover usually has limitations. Faults in the first 28 days are not covered, and cover may stop if a property is left unoccupied for more than 30 days. Pre-existing faults, poor maintenance, limescale damage, non-eligible boiler types, and repeated breakdowns may also be excluded. Call-out fees depend on the plan you choose.
Can I buy landlord boiler cover as a stand-alone policy?
Yes, you can buy landlord boiler cover as a stand alone policy. You can also include it as part of a wider landlord cover plan. Stand-alone landlord cover is ideal if you only want protection for the boiler and heating system, while wider plans add plumbing, electrics, or emergencies.
What landlord boiler cover do I need?
The landlord cover you need depends on the property type, boiler age, and your legal responsibilities. Most landlords choose boiler and central heating plan as a minimum, as tenants rely on heating and hot water. If you want broader protection, you can add plumbing, electrics, drainage, or home emergency cover to reduce repair risk.
Why do I need landlord boiler cover?
Landlord Boiler cover helps protect you from unexpected repair costs. It ensures essential systems like the boiler, heating, plumbing, and electrics are repaired quickly. It also helps you meet legal safety responsibilities, reduce tenant disruption, and spread costs monthly instead of facing large one-off bills.
What is the difference between landlord cover and standard cover?
Landlord cover is designed for rental properties. It focuses on repairing essential systems and often includes boiler servicing and Gas Safety certification (CP12), which landlords are legally required to provide.
Standard cover is for owner-occupied homes and usually does not include landlord compliance needs or tenant-occupied properties.
Is landlord boiler cover worth it?
Yes, landlord boiler cover is worth it if you want predictable costs, quicker repairs, and peace of mind. It reduces the risk of expensive boiler or heating breakdowns and helps keep tenants satisfied while staying compliant with safety laws.
What repairs is a landlord responsible for?
Landlords are responsible for maintaining the boiler, central heating, plumbing, electrics, and gas appliances. This includes ensuring heating and hot water work properly and providing a valid annual Gas Safety Certificate (CP12). Repairs affecting safety or habitability must be handled promptly.
What does landlord cover include?
Landlord cover typically includes boiler and heating repairs, plus optional protection for plumbing, electrics, and drainage. Many plans also include home emergency support, pest control, and boiler servicing with a CP12, depending on the level of cover chosen.
What types of landlord cover are available?
Landlord cover is usually available in levels, such as:
Boiler-only cover – Boiler and controls, with annual boiler service
Heating cover – Boiler, central heating, CP12, and service
Home cover – Heating, plumbing, electrics, and drainage
Total cover – Adds home security, pest control, and wider emergencies
This lets landlords match cover to risk and budget.
Does landlord boiler cover include subsidence?
No. Landlord boiler cover does not include subsidence or ground movement. These are structural issues and are usually covered under landlord buildings insurance, not boiler or home emergency plans.
Can I have landlord cover for multiple properties?
Yes. Landlord cover can be arranged for multiple properties, with separate cover for each address or boiler. This ensures every rental property has the correct level of protection.
What happens if I don’t have landlord cover?
Without landlord cover, you must pay the full cost of repairs when boilers, heating, plumbing, or electrics fail. This can mean high, unexpected bills, slower repairs, and greater disruption for tenants. You are still legally responsible for safety and compliance.
Can I spread the cost of landlord cover?
Yes. Most landlord cover plans allow you to pay monthly instead of annually, helping you manage costs more easily.
I’ve struggled to find landlord cover — can PlusHeat help?
Yes. PlusHeat offers landlord boiler and home emergency cover directly, so you can choose the level of protection that suits your rental property without searching elsewhere.
Does landlord cover help if keys are lost?
No. Lost or stolen keys are not covered. Landlord boiler and emergency cover focuses on heating, plumbing, electrics, drainage, and emergencies — not lock replacements due to lost keys.
If tenants damage my property, can I claim?
No. Landlord boiler and emergency cover does not cover damage caused by tenants, whether accidental or deliberate. Tenant damage is normally covered under separate landlord insurance, not maintenance plans.
What is a Gas Safety Record (CP12) and why do I need one?
A Gas Safety Record, also called a CP12, confirms that all gas appliances and flues have been checked and are safe. Landlords legally need one every 12 months to comply with gas safety laws, protect tenants, and avoid fines or legal action.
What is an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)?
An EICR checks that the fixed electrical wiring in a rental property is safe. Landlords need a valid EICR to meet legal safety requirements, reduce electrical risks, and prove the electrics are properly maintained.
What are my responsibilities for repairs as a landlord?
You must keep the property safe and habitable. This includes repairing boilers, heating, plumbing, electrics, and gas appliances, and responding within a reasonable time — especially for urgent or emergency faults.
What tenancy checks must landlords carry out?
Landlords must ensure:
Annual Gas Safety Record (CP12)
Valid EICR
Working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
Right to Rent checks
Tenants receive required documents, including the EPC
Does my rental property need a licence?
It depends on your local council and property type. Some areas require selective landlord licences, and larger shared homes may need an HMO licence. Always check with your council.
What types of tenants are there?
Common tenant types include private tenants, students, families, professionals, and Universal Credit or housing benefit tenants. Some properties are shared households (HMOs) with multiple unrelated occupants.
What advice should landlords follow when choosing cover?
Choose cover based on the property age, boiler type, and repair response time you need. Always check:
What’s included and excluded
Whether servicing and certificates are covered
Waiting periods and call-out fees
The right cover reduces risk, costs, and tenant disruption.
