Flood risk zone 1 home insurance

Tried to get a quote from co-op for home insurance and after I gave my address they said they couldn't quote because of the flood risk. (nb Not a problem with my existing insurer as their criteria is no record of flooding plus not in a flood warning area).
According to the Environment Agency my house is in Flood Zone 1 (the white area) which is " land assessed as having a less than 1 in 1,000 annual probability of river or sea flooding (<0.1%)".
There doesn't seem to be a lower Flood Zone classification than 1 so how can the co-op insure anywhere?!

Insurance companies use their own data which doesn't always correspond with the Environment Agency .0
