Home insurance and lock boxes
Hi I’ve just had a break in at home as thieves have opened a lockbox with a crowbar or similar. Now I know some home insurance is sketchy on these things, but I’ve just been through my whole policy with a fine tooth comb and there isn’t even a mention of a lockbox or anything of that nature when it comes to a claim.

Most multi annual trips limit winter cover to 17 days, and single trips either cover the entire length of the policy, or state otherwise.

Insurance will only replace a small percent of laminate flooring
I'm after some advice please. I've had to put in an insurance claim after I drilled through a water pipe, which then caused water damage to our laminate flooring.
