How do you decide what replacement items I receive for my home claim?

When we replace goods for you we consider the original item and its specifications.

If that same item is available we'll attempt to source this as a replacement for you.

If the same item isn't available we'll attempt to obtain a replacement that's equivalent to the item based on the features and specifications of the product.
