From Atlantic storms to burst pipes, Cornwall homes often face sudden disruptions. A kitchen is usually the first casualty—flooded floors, fire damage or soaked electrics can leave families without cooking facilities for weeks. Having a backup plan ensures you’re not left relying on takeaways or hotel stays.

The Impact of Floods and Storms in Cornwall

Heavy rainfall and coastal storms frequently cause leaks, flash floods and power issues in Cornwall. Kitchens are especially vulnerable because they combine water, electrics and expensive fittings.

• Flooded floors requiring full drying before re‑fit.
• Storm damage leading to roof leaks and water ingress.
• Electrical safety checks delaying appliance use.

Why Traditional Accommodation Isn’t Always Ideal

Insurers often arrange hotels or Airbnb stays, but these come with challenges:

• High cost: Weeks in peak tourist season cost far more than a pod.
• Disruption: Moving children, pets and routines to temporary accommodation is stressful.
• Limited cooking: Hotels rarely offer self‑catering; takeaways add extra costs.

How Kitchen Pods Work in Emergencies

A kitchen pod can be delivered to your driveway within days of a claim. They provide full cooking and storage so life continues while repairs happen.

• Installed in hours on driveways or flat surfaces.
• Equipped with hob, oven, fridge‑freezer, sink and storage.
• Removed once your kitchen is safe and usable again.

Insurer Support for Pods

Most insurers approve pods under alternative accommodation if they save money compared to hotel bills. We provide insurer‑ready quotes and direct billing options.

Protecting Your Family’s Comfort

During stressful times, keeping your family at home matters. Pods let you:

• Keep children in their own beds and routines.
• Care for pets without extra costs.
• Stay close to work, schools and neighbours.

Conclusion

Cornwall’s weather is unpredictable, but your home life doesn’t have to be. A temporary kitchen pod offers a cost‑effective, family‑friendly alternative to hotels during flood and storm damage repairs.
