What's included in our cover?

Buildings insurance

Buildings insurance covers the cost of repairing or rebuilding the structure of your home that is damaged by events such as a flood, fire or a storm. This also covers permanent fixtures in your home, such as fitted kitchens and fitted bedroom furniture. This doesn't include the items inside your home - you'd need contents insurance for that.

Choosing the right level of cover

Compare what's included with our Bronze, Silver and Gold cover to help choose which one is best for you. Read our policy booklet (PDF, 918KB) for more about what is and isn't covered.

How much excess would I need to pay?

Your excess is the amount you’ll pay towards most types of claim. You can choose your own excess between £100 and £500. A higher excess means your cover will cost less, but you’ll have to pay more towards a claim.

With Bronze and Silver cover, there's a different excess for leaking water claims.
