Insuring contents for damage only

Do any insurers do just damage policies on contents (not accidental, just fire/flood etc)?

I am not interested in claiming if I get burgled.

Can't seem to find any information on this type of policy.

    Considering that you can get the whole coverage for like £100 it seems daft not to insure against theft.
  • IMO not worth it - as post above plus what is your definition of damage and its causes?
  • Damage via flood or fire.

    Not interested in insuring against theft. My big ticket items are sofas etc. Nothing that could be stolen.
  • My contents insurance without legal and accidental damage is £37 for the year with Saga.
    Best I ever got was £56 with Yorkshire Building Society with a love to shop voucher for £50 so cost for year £6

    Are you posting from an Internet cafe or work computer?

    Most people’s valuables are now phones, laptops, iPads, Apple Watch etc.

    I don’t think there’s an alternative to a standard package.

    There's always an alternative. It'll probably cost more to have a policy underwritten specifically to exclude theft than take a package policy that includes it, but if the OP is determined he should find one in the end.
