Buildings and Contents Cover

Protect Your Home and Everything Inside It

Your home is one of the most valuable things you own. Protecting both the structure of your property and the belongings inside it can help you avoid significant financial loss if something unexpected happens.

Buildings and contents cover is designed to protect your home from events such as fire, flooding, storms, or theft. It ensures that both the property itself and the items you own inside the home are financially protected if they’re damaged, destroyed or stolen.

Many homeowners choose a combined buildings and contents insurance policy because it provides comprehensive protection for both their property and personal belongings.

What Is Buildings and Contents Cover?

Buildings and contents cover is a type of home insurance that protects two important parts of your home.


Buildings Insurance

Buildings insurance protects the structure of your property, including:

  • Walls, roof and floors
  • Windows and doors
  • Permanent fixtures like kitchens and bathrooms
  • Garages, sheds and fences

This cover helps pay for repairs or rebuilding if your home is damaged by events such as fire, floods, storms or subsidence.


Contents Insurance

Contents insurance protects the belongings inside your home, including:

  • Furniture and appliances
  • Electronics and gadgets
  • Clothing and personal items
  • Jewellery and valuables

Why Consider Buildings and Contents Cover?

Unexpected events can cause serious damage to your home and possessions.

Buildings and contents cover can help provide financial protection if:

  • A storm damages your roof
  • A burst pipe causes flooding in your home
  • Fire damages your property
  • Your belongings are stolen during a burglary

Mortgage lenders in the UK often require buildings insurance as part of the mortgage agreement to protect the property.

Even if it isn’t required, having the right home insurance can provide peace of mind knowing your home and belongings are protected.

How Buildings and Contents Cover Works

Buildings and contents insurance is straightforward to arrange. You choose the level of cover needed for both your property and the belongings inside it, then pay a monthly or annual premium to keep the policy active. If your home or possessions are damaged or stolen due to an insured event, you can make a claim and your insurer may cover the cost of repairs to the building or the replacement of lost or damaged items.
