The weekend of the 22nd of May was the hottest weekend on record for 2010. We flocked in our droves to the parks and beaches, but if the UK population couldn't make either of these, they headed to the garden. Were your children out in the sun, playing games? With the world cup and cricket tournaments encouraging kids to get out and play games, there is more likely to be a bit more damage to your precious home, with balls flying through the air,
But home insurance companies are urging parents to encourage care in their children. Would be athletes are throwing tennis, cricket and footballs around the garden, and during the summer months there is often a twenty percent increase in the amount of claims on home insurance for broken panes of glass.
Although the majority of home insurers cover for accidental damage to glass, the companies are promoting this idea in consideration to parent child relationships all over the country! Mishaps tend to peak in May and August, around the bank holidays, and it comes as no surprise that the summer holiday times are where the majority of accidents occur!
Other claims that are more common on the summer months are damage to sofas and chairs due to spilt drinks and broken electrical gadgets, adding a ten percent increase to the number of claims recorded in comparison to the rest of the year.
Make sure that you house is completely covered against all child related accidents, by obtaining a Home Insurance quote online. It's quick and easy, and will give you more time to get out in the garden and supervise the Olympics!
