Not all homes are the same. So why should your policy be?
Here at Churchill we offer three types of cover: Home Essentials, Home Insurance and Home Plus. There are a number of optional extras you can add to your policy, such as cover for accidental damage and personal possessions. These are all included with Home Plus.
