Cover for specified items
You’ll need to tell us about any items worth more than £2,000, other than home appliances, and furniture which isn’t antique. These could include laptops, TVs, jewellery or bikes which would individually cost more than £2,000 to replace.
You can also choose to cover specified items within your home, or both in and away from your home.
Any specified items will be included as part of your overall contents sum insured amount. For items worth more than £2,000 individually, there’s a £20,000 individual item limit, and a £50,000 total specified items limit.
Limits, terms and exclusions apply to all levels of cover.

To help you work out how much the contents in your home are worth:
- List all of your contents in each room. Include things in outbuildings and within the boundaries of your property. Don't include fixtures and fittings such as bathroom suites or your fitted kitchen – these won’t be covered by your contents insurance policy
- Estimate how much they’re worth. It helps to look online at how much it would cost to buy each item now if you had to replace it
- Add up the values. The total is an estimated value for your possessions, which you can use to decide how much insurance cover you need.
-
Home emergency cover will pay for repairs up to £1,000, helping you to manage unexpected costs in an emergency. It’s optional on all levels of cover for an additional cost.
-
Accidental damage cover protects your home and belongings against damage that’s sudden, unexpected and isn’t done on purpose. This is included as standard with Silver and Gold cover.
-
Legal expenses cover provides expert help when you need legal support, covering costs up to £50,000. This is included as standard with Silver and Gold cover.
-
With this cover, things like rings, watches, bikes and laptops are protected whenever you take them with you outside your home. You’re covered if they’re lost, stolen or accidentally damaged.

Frequently asked questions
-
Your policy documents will show the start date of your policy. If any loss or damage happened before that date, you’ll need to speak to your previous insurance provider.
If something happens after that date, then you can make a claim straight away. It’s just worth checking your policy documents first to make sure that type of claim is covered.
We’ll need information about the items which have been damaged or stolen, so please give as much detail as possible. That way, we can get to work on your claim as soon as possible.
