Top tips

Our top tips for making a home insurance claim:

Do's

  • Any claim for loss or malicious damage should be reported to the police.
  • Temporary repairs should be carried out to prevent further loss. If your claim is covered, then we'll reimburse you the cost, so keep hold of any invoices you pay.
  • Read your policy documents to see if you can use any of your optional cover, which is included in your policy. 

Dont's

  • Don’t dispose of any damaged items, as we may need to inspect them. Badly damaged property can be stored in a garage or shed.
