  • Request a payment holiday
  • Check if there's any part of your cover that you no longer need
  • See if there's any other way we can reduce the cost of your policy

Something has changed

Working from home?

If you're temporarily working from home only using a computer, doing paperwork or phone calls due to the pandemic, then you don't need to tell us. Your employer’s equipment is covered by their insurance. Any cover you have will protect the items that belong to you. If you're doing any other work from home such as making things, or offering services e.g. hairdressing, then you'll need to tell us so we can check you're covered. You’ll also need to tell us if you have more than 20 visitors a week.

Get in touch

For any other changes that may affect your policy, get in touch. We’ll review your policy and let you know if there’s any change to how much you pay.
