Accidental damage - Protect your possessions against accidents

  • Get peace of mind and protect your buildings and contents against those all too frequent accidents, from minor mishaps to major DIY catastrophes.

  • Contents insurance – If you're worried about accidental damage such as spilling red wine or paint on your carpet then you can extend the contents cover to include most types of accidental damage for an additional cost.

Exclusions and limitations may apply, please refer to policy documents for full details.
