Direct Line’s house insurance consists of both buildings and contents insurance cover against fire, theft, storms, floods, oil and water damage. Buildings insurance covers the actual structure of your home – roofs, walls, windows, fences and gates, burst pipes and also includes permanent fixtures. Contents insurance covers furniture, carpets, curtains, TVs, home computers and household goods.  

All our house insurance comes with a 24-hour emergency helpline, and there are a number of optional extras, including accidental damage cover, cover for personal possessions outside the home, and family legal protection.  

Repairs and replacement couldn’t be easier with our Home Repair Network, which means we have a comprehensive list of reputable tradesmen to call on. We’ll arrange for them to carry out the work that needs doing, then we’ll pay them directly and any work carried out on your home will be guaranteed for 12 months for claims between the threshold values stated on your policy documents.

Even better, our household insurance covers your household contents on a new-for-old basis, covers garden contents up to £1,000, and all replacements will be delivered to your door, wherever possible.

This all adds up to a good deal better from Direct Line, so why not get a house insurance quote today?
