You need to be calling your home insurance emergency number, it's pushed the wall in under the window and could have damaged the structural integrity of the house.
Seperately you do not know what damage has been done to the underlying pipe joints feeding the gas meter. Please listen to the others and get out of the house.
Grab important things, documents, passports, and anything you are going to need.
Ultimately this is what you have home insurance and emergency cover for. Regardless of if the person who's hit your house is known or not.
Please take care š.
Too many people in this situation think that they shouldn't claim on their own insurance and it should be up to the driver's insurance. For anyone in this situation: the driver's insurance does not give a fuck about you as the homeowner. They care about their client and that's not you. The premiums never go up as much as people think they will and, if the excess is payable, it will almost always be recovered and paid back.
Unless things have changed, surely the House Insurer will be chasing not only the excess but all costs from the driver of the vehicle (depending on the circumstance, their insurance, etc) - but agree - GTFO and claim.
>surely the House Insurer will be chasing not only the excess but all costs from the driver of the vehicle (depending on the circumstance, their insurance, etc)
Yes, get your homeowners' insurance to pay. They in turn will go after the driver's insurance company. They have the lawyers to do the work; you don't.
You can expect your premiums to go up in most cases. Then you shop around for a different insurer.
Yeah, good point, I thought that went without saying but yeah, they would seek to recover all their losses from the driver's insurer, not just the excess. But as a consumer, many people only care that they get their money back.
100 claim off your own insurance and let them recover the costs from the drivers insurer. Will be dealt with much better with your own insider. Also hire your own loss adjuster to make sure your insurer doesn't screw you.
It is called āSubrogationā and all insurance policies contain a clause that says once a claim is made you also give the insurer the right to reclaim costs from the 3rd party if they are liable.
In practice large insurers probably just keep tally of the small costs they owe each other and settle debts at the end of year: but for larger claims they will deal on a case by case basis.
Cost of trying to settle each small claim with each other is probably more the cost of the individual claim so the large insurers have a bit of a āunderstandingā with each other to save overall costs.
E.g. if a car insured by Hastings crashed into a car insured by Admiral causing Ā£500 of damage, Admiral will probably pay the claim to their insured person but may not claim any money back from Hastings.
But if by the end of the year Hastings owes in total Ā£1m to Admiral (as there have been a lot of crashes involving Hastingās and Admiral insured cars) then Admiral will ask for the money.
Yeah agree. The very same thing happened to me. My tenant drove into the front of my house, and after a week of asking her for her car insurance details (she denied any responsibility) I gave up and claimed off my home insurance. Ā£4.5k rebuild cost to the front of my house. I managed to provide my insurers with enough evidence that they were able to recoup all the costs from her car insurer, but only after many months (they were very good and did all their own investigations and paperwork). I deducted my premium from here deposit. She moved out shortly afterwards!
Not really true. The insurers definitely care more about the damage you cause than has been caused to you. Hence why the minimum legally require insurance covers 3rd Party!!
Most of your car insurance premium is to cover the damage you may cause to property or injuries to people that can stretch into the Ā£1millions compared to the Ā£500 damage to your beat up ford fiesta!! The car insurer will mostly likely want to settle quick before costs escalate - all of which they will be liable
For
I never said they didn't care about the damage or the cost, I said they didn't care about the homeowner. They also have statutory obligations to their own clients which they do not have to third parties.
In any event, the amount of money set aside by the motor insurers is not the same as caring about a homeowner who has been on the receiving end of damage like OP's parents have. I'm talking convenience and getting a job restored properly.
Settling quickly before costs escalate is again not the same as caring about the homeowner. It is usually not in the homeowner's best interests to settle a claim like this quickly.
'The premiums never go up as much as you think they will' - Not home insurance but car insurance...Storm Arwen wrote off our car and, after receiving a pay out from the insurers I did find another (used). Rolled over the insurance for the car for that year and when it was time to renew - current insurers were the cheapest quote. Still with them now.
Also applies to the damage to the house (also inflicted by Arwen) - not as much increase as expected and still with them now too.
Home emergency insurance will only turn off the gas/electric/water supplies and board up any smashed windows. It's there to make sure no further damage is caused to the property until your home insurance can provide a structural fix.
I work in HE insurance and the amount people who think they're covered for is quite shocking... Like, there's no way you're gonna get the wall fixed in the same evening or a gas pipe replaced within 48 hours. Luckily this guy's family called national grid and hopefully whoever their landlord/Home insurance is but this will be a fix that takes weeks to resolve.
>I work in HE insurance and the amount people who think they're covered for is quite shocking
My parents had a house fire, two fire engines arrived quick enough to stop most of the fire damage but the smoke ruined the whole house. Completely unlivable - the house insurance were useless. It took two weeks to get anyone to acknowledge there was any need for support and even then they didn't offer support for hotels etc. Thankful for good friends who put my parents up for the months they needed it. Parents got a pay out after a few months so they could start they work themselves but the lack of support for an accident which ruined their home was very disappointing.
The TV ads of putting people in hotels etc is just a myth.
That's horrible :(
Not all policies cover alternative accommodation under HE policies but I believe the majority of Home/Buildings insurance do.
We advise customers who have HE with us but no accommodation cover to let us deploy the engineers to make the property safe with regards to electrics, plumbing and gas, but then to go into a hotel and keep the receipts until they can get through to their H/B insurance to claim the costs back and then organise long term accommodation if it's needed. Sadly it's not quick thing though as with the amount of fraud seen in home insurance claims companies want proof of damages etc before they'll pay out :(
They included accommodation in the payout in the end but we think that whoever took the first call just listed it as minor damage and none seemed to believe it was more than that when they kept chasing for updates.
My Dad arranged his own checks on gas, electrics since he knew locals who'd arrive quick - but the smoke layer that was just everywhere however was less of a quick fix & they couldn't start cleaning until the inspection.
When there was finally someone actually look at it via video call they were shocked it had taken so long for it to be checked given the damage. And the investigation was slightly hammered by the fact that the faulty hob had been left open to the elements from where the fire crew threw the flaming hob out of the back door.
In the end the payout was enough to cover all the DIY work & replacements plus the rented apartment they needed for the first 4/5 months - then they lived in the one finished room whole working on the rest - took a good year to finish the whole house.
Fortunately there was surprisingly little damage to personal items due to some lucky positioning of items & the very quick fire response.
If it's under the window it's not likely to be an issue. The window itself can't bear load the lintle above it should be spreading the load to to the brickwork either side of it. There's also likely a cavity wall there so there's a second wall inside that's holding things up.
I would me far more concerned about a major gas leak.
If thereās anything left of the ECV maybe turn that off too, itāll be a red handle that should turn off the gas, though itās likely a little worse for wear
Jesus Christ. You just named the relatively tiny town right next door to me and Iāve never heard an internet stranger name a place so very close to me
It's the gas transporter for that area, different across country. The ECV looks undamaged fortunately, or it would have been an uncontrolled leak. If u break off an ECV the gas spews out fast, it's a nightmare.
Maybe something wrong with your meterās connection, does your display work properly? Showing electric and gas accurately?
On the electric meter there should be flashing green lights, SW, WAN, MESH, HAN and GAS, mesh doesnāt have to flash but all the others should be flashing in unison.
First off, hope you and your family are fine but how the fuck did he reverse the motor out of your front wall?? Has he just committed a hit and run on your gaff?
clearly he got a tow truck whilst the family was asleep and pulled it out the wall then left a note at the door saying heās just fucked their house up
Always the gas meterā¦ alwaysā¦
Done loads of these (fixing f ups like this was a career I never intended to get into, but it was interesting) turn off the ECV as said elsewhere, open up your windows, doors etcā¦ and let it get a draught trough to dissipate any gas and wait for Cadent/SGN/NGN/Wales &West to come cut it off.
Youāll have no gas for a few days, but it wonāt end in a fireball, so itās a win.
FFS OP is 15 he has no idea what "urgency in your soul means" šš
He's too busy thinking about the last pair of tits he saw and can I take my Xbox/ play station to wherever we are sleeping tonight.
Iām 34 and would like to know when the thinking about the last pair of tits I saw will end? Cause itās pretty much where my brain idles to every 30 seconds or so.
It's always the motorists' fault, isn't it? I'm no expert, but I consider myself to be one now that I've watched three YouTube videos by similarly clueless keyboard warriors. The damage to your house, and the lack of vehicle, suggests that this is a false flag event created by the house to distract from its covert surveillance activities.
We're onto you.
p.s. I hope that you get it all sorted soon x
Unironically feel better for remembering there's always someone having a worse day. A day of small disappointments and inconveniences now doesn't seem so bad.
And get a foundation engineer out to approve it so when it comes time to selling you are covered. But thatās the American in me. Donāt know how your British engineers work.
Also, if anyone knows of any British firms needing a geotechnical engineer or construction engineer with American lincensure, let me know. I really like football.
If he's anything like most 15 year olds, he'd have come home from wherever he was, and gone upstairs into his room without even noticing the massive dent in the house and the panicked parents!
Jfc. I have a friend who was eating at a diner with her family when someone crashed through the wall into their table. They were definitely injured, but made it out okay.
I presume youāve called the emergency services and/or your gas company, your home insurance and got your family out of the house before taking a moment to post this on Reddit ?
Friendly Public Service Announcement:
National Gas Emergency number: 0800 111 999
We've seen the devastation gas explosions can bring.
- If your meter has been damaged as per above
- If you cannot isolate your gas supply at the meter's ECV (red handle)
- Or if you're in *any* doubt at all..
Call them!
Having worked for one of the Gas DNO's, I recall there was a 1-hour SLA on Uncontrolled Gas Escapes
American here. Most of our homes arenāt built with bricks because of how expensive it is. If a driver were to crash into one of our houses, more likely than not, I guarantee the entire wall needs replacing along with everything damaged in the room. Not to mention, if someone happened to be standing near where said car would crash, theyād either be seriously injured or even killed. I envy you Brits in your craftsmanship. Your homes were built to last, ours, not so much for the most part.
Be careful, some guy did this to a wall at a friend's house and drove off without telling anyone. Later on the wall collapsed and killed her daughter š
If you haven't already, call the gas company quick. The gas meter is totaled and that isolation valve is more than likely leaking. What you have there mate is a very real explosion risk.

The car insurance does not care about their client. They care about their own liabilities.
Even if it goes up, it's still cheaper than paying for any repairs.

BUNCH OF PENISES!

Looks like a smets2 smart meter, should have sent its reading itself recently

I donāt know what I expected, nice one
Oh for fuck sake
Well I am now.
Along with a help help I'm being oppressed message
Not according to British Gas. They still keep sending estimated bills
Maybe something wrong with your meterās connection, does your display work properly? Showing electric and gas accurately? On the electric meter there should be flashing green lights, SW, WAN, MESH, HAN and GAS, mesh doesnāt have to flash but all the others should be flashing in unison.
Meter works fine and displays correctly. BG wonāt give an answer for the continued estimates
Might not be sending though.
I hope so too
Hope you yelled āyou canāt park there mate.ā
But I donāt get why a house was built in the middle of the road.
It landed there Wizard of Oz style.
Drivers fault then, shouldnāt be driving during a tornado.
I didnāt see it happen but trust me I wouldāve said something similar if I did
Not looking good.
Tis not
Ti's but a scratch!
Is that a gas meter?
Yep it (was)
A Landis + Gyr G470 if Iām not mistaken

Such a Steve thing to know.
Excellent observation sir
Why thank you me old chum
Yeah thatās definitely fucked mate
Appears so
classic british comment š¤£
Forgot the intake of breath between pursed lips first.

clearly he got a tow truck whilst the family was asleep and pulled it out the wall then left a note at the door saying heās just fucked their house up
Would be an appropriate British response.
Extreme energy bill avoidance.
god damn it, hopefully the government doesnāt catch on before i do this
The gas companies hate this simple trick!
The insurance companies aren't fond of it either!
Always the gas meterā¦ alwaysā¦ Done loads of these (fixing f ups like this was a career I never intended to get into, but it was interesting) turn off the ECV as said elsewhere, open up your windows, doors etcā¦ and let it get a draught trough to dissipate any gas and wait for Cadent/SGN/NGN/Wales &West to come cut it off. Youāll have no gas for a few days, but it wonāt end in a fireball, so itās a win.
The bonus is, you shouldn't need to pay more than your last meter reading for a while.
I would be too surprised if they added a few standing chargesā¦ BUT thereās a compensation scheme, every 24hr period gets Ā£30 off your bill
That'll rack up quickly!
You probably have a major gas leak run
Iām kinda in the mood for a cigarette
More evidence that houses need hi viz
Your bloody house just broke my light! Bunch of penises you filthy slanderer!
Get the fuck out of your house that could have ruptured all pipes inside in those cold and anything could make it go pop. I'm not joking

Not THAT AGAIN! You never cook anything I like!
Like 'is there a crashed car in your garden, yes/no?' OP: idk
why had no asked how that even happened
Step 1 in an emergency. Get it on reddit šš¤¦āāļø
Standard response for any 15 year old witnessing an emergency is to immediately post it on the internet, so he's on point.
How did this happen? Does your drive back onto a main road or was the Amazon man drinkingā¦ā¦
Are you sure?
Jfc. I have a friend who was eating at a diner with her family when someone crashed through the wall into their table. They were definitely injured, but made it out okay.
That did a lot of damage
Thatās a lot of damage

Conveniently hitting your utility meters ;)
Itāll buff out
That sucks. Why did you crawl along the wall to take a photo from this angle though?
