Contact us on 01702 606 301 during office hours. We will be very happy to help you with your claim and provide support at what can often be a very challenging time.
Please have to hand your insurance policy number, which can be found in your policy documents.
Alternatively, you can contact your insurance company directly.
What information will be needed to make a claim?
Once you have notified us or your insurer directly that you wish to make a claim, you will need to provide further information and, possibly, documentation:
- please tell us or your insurer about the situation and the loss or damage you have suffered;
- depending on the insurer and the situation, you may be required to fill out a claims form in addition to providing details over the phone;
- listen to the advice provided by your insurer on how to limit any further damage;
- confirm your excess amount with us or your insurer;
- review your policy documents to ensure that you meet any deadlines or requirements for making a claim.
What happens next?
Once you have started the claims process, typically you will be asked to:
- provide any necessary paperwork, such as photographs or repair estimates, to support your claim;
- in some cases, you may need to meet with an assessor who will assess the damage in person and review the details of your claim;
- if the claim is related to theft or vandalism, make sure to file a report with your local police station as soon as possible. You will need to provide the incident number as proof to support your claim.
