There’s nothing standard about our standard policy
We strive to do the best we can for our customers, that’s why our home insurance policy covers losing keys, legal expenses and home emergency protection all at no additional charge. With Ecclesiastical you’ll be insured against a range of events such as fire, theft, subsidence, storm or flood and escape of water. Use our contents checklist guide to identify the costs of items in your home.
High-value items
If you have specific high-value items or require a greater level of cover for your buildings and contents, please call our team to discuss your specific requirements.
Renewals and auto renewal
We will send you a renewal pack within 21 days of your renewal date. It will have details of your renewal premium, any changes to the policy wording and cover, and a reminder of what you have told us, so you can update us if anything has changed.
