This is a guide to help you calculate the value of your home contents. Simply enter the estimated 'replacement' values (with the exception of clothing, footwear and toiletries) for the items that are relevant to you and add the totals together to find out how much cover you require.

In addition to this, please read your policy carefully as some items have limited cover unless specifed on your policy. To amend the amount of cover you require or to enquire about how to specify an item on your policy, just call us on 0800 500 213.
