House Insurance

I have an older house which is stone built.  Last year I had the original kitchen knocked down and rebuilt.  Block and beam with a flat roof and fire retardant timber cladding.  I dealt with my existing insurance provider re this.

my renewal is due and I am struggling to get any comparison quotes as I can’t just say walls are stone.  I have looked at quite a few sites but have yet to find one where I can put that there are different elements.  The amount of flat roof can easily be dealt with.  Surely this must be a fairly frequent occurrence.  Does anyone know of a comparison site that can cope with this.  

On the money supermarket site the only option is to put Other and then this drastically increases the cost.  Any pearls of wisdom? Thanks

    What proportion is of the new construction materials -v- the rest of the house being Stone? Most want to know what the majority of the property is and not that it's exclusively it.
