Coronavirus update

Yes, you can still book a repair. You can do this online here and do not need to call us as availability will be the same online.

We recognise that the service we offer our customers is essential to keeping their homes running. We are following the Government’s advice and will continue to work closely with our dedicated partners so that we can help our customers safely.

We’re still offering repairs for all appliances that we cover and we will prioritise:

1. Emergency repairs
2. Vulnerable customers
3. NHS Staff

Before booking a repair, please have a look at our Appliance Care portal to see if there is something that you can do to resolve the problem first.

Please be aware; while the coronavirus pandemic continues to affect the UK, there are some instances where we will have to react accordingly to the latest government advice. Don’t worry if this affects you, we will be in contact with you directly to rearrange.

Following the developing situation of the Coronavirus and with advice from the Government, we have measures in place to help keep our customers and engineers safe.

Our engineers are taking the following precautions to ensure the safety of our customers:

1. Engineers will observe the latest Social Distancing Guidelines throughout the visit as much as possible.
2. Engineers are required to use single use personal protective equipment (PPE) whilst carrying out repairs.
3. Please make sure that doors are opened for engineers so there is a clear path to your appliance so that engineers touch as little as possible in your home.
4. Please open windows to ventilate the work area before your engineer arrives at your property and ensure you remain clear of the workspace for the duration of the visit.
5. We also ask that you sanitise the work area before engineers arrive.
6. Visit www.worksafesafework.info to see a three-part guide that will help you know what to do before, during and after your engineer visit.
7. You will not have to sign engineer tablets for a normal job completion, instead you may be asked if the engineer can sign on your behalf.
8. If you need to sign a Health & Safety Notice or disclaimer, a paper copy may be used and photographed for evidence.

If you have any concerns or questions, please raise them when you book your appointment or delivery, or when the engineer calls ahead of the visit.

If you are self-isolating because you or a member of your household are experiencing any of the following, an engineer will not be able to attend your home until it is deemed safe to do so:

1. Symptoms of the Coronavirus such as a high temperature, new persistent cough or loss of taste/smell
2. Awaiting test results
3. Diagnosed with the Coronavirus
4. Been in contact with someone with the Coronavirus
5. Told to by the NHS Track & Trace service
6. Recently returned from abroad – for the latest travel advise please visit the Government website

In these cases, please book a repair when the recommended self-isolation period due to infection is over. For the most up to date advice for self-isolating please visit the NHS website.

If you already have an engineer appointment arranged, please call the engineer or Repair Agent directly before their visit to rearrange your appointment for after the self-isolation period. You can find their phone number on your confirmation email.

If it’s an emergency, you will take priority. We are doing everything we can to support you during this stressful time. Every case is different, and we will do our best to help. Please call us on 0333 000 4966 and contact our customer support team who will be able to help.

If you are self-isolating or shielding because you’re a vulnerable customer, you can still book a repair or replacement. When you do so, please make sure you tell our customer care team that you are a vulnerable customer.

If we were recently unable to fix your appliance, we’ll be in touch shortly to let you know what the next steps are, but please be aware that we’re experiencing some delays processing replacements due to the impact the Coronavirus has had on demand.

Rest assured, you will receive a replacement or have your appliance repaired shortly. In the meantime, thank you for your patience and understanding.

Installation is not automatically included as part of your policy or plan. Please read your plan or policy documents for further information.

In most cases it can be added to your replacement order, but a charge will apply. But please be aware that unfortunately, not all of our suppliers are able to offer an installation at this time. We always aim to do the right thing and will help customers as much as possible where it is safe to do so.

Yes, if you have paid for disposal of your old appliance, we’ll do this at the same time we deliver your replacement appliance. So that our drivers can follow the Social Distancing Guidelines, you’ll need to have your old appliance ready for collection – either by your front door or outside the front of your home.

Some of our suppliers are still able to recycle your old appliance. If this option is available, you’ll see this on the right-hand side of the online replacement website. If it is not there, then unfortunately we’ll be unable to remove your old appliance for recycling.

If your local Argos store is not open, you can always use your Argos vouchers online at www.argos.co.uk to order your replacement. Their click and collect service is still available through Argos concession stores within 300 Sainsbury’s supermarkets.

When shops reopen your claim will still be honoured and you’ll still be able to pick up your replacement in store. If you would like to discuss an alternative arrangement to organise a solution sooner, please call our Product Replacement Team on 0333 000 4966 and we’ll be able to help.

An increasing number of customers have informed us that they have received a call from someone claiming to be from Domestic & General or D&G, or similar-sounding company names. Sometimes the caller may claim that they are “taking over from Domestic & General” or that “D&G have gone bust because of COVID-19”.

Rest assured that is not true.

These can be so called ‘rogue traders’, intent on selling you an alternative or fake plan in place of your Domestic & General plan or gaining bank account details or money from you through ‘phishing’ conversations. For more help and advice about rogue traders or scams, you can read our specific FAQs about this.

Please be diligent, especially during this time of uncertainty. If you have any doubts about whether the call is from Domestic & General or not, please terminate the call and contact us directly on 0333 000 4966.

We are still taking care of repairs and replacements for our customers and our team are ready to help if and when you need us.
