What you'll need
It doesn't take long to claim on your home insurance, so we can get you back to normal. We'll just want to know what happened and when, plus what you're claiming for. We'll let you know your excess, level of cover and the approximate value of your claim, where possible.
To check what your home insurance covers you for, either look through your printed policy, if you have a paper copy, or you can find your documents in MyAviva.

We always settle claims quickly where we can, offering cash payment, vouchers or replacement products. Where that’s not possible we’ll let you know what’s happening and how long it will take.
