We will never use this company again ,they took our money quickly enough but in the last couple of years we have had 3 legitimate claims 2 on a 5yr old residential park home , but According to them a cracked shower tray was wear & tear also recently a shattered window was also down to wear ,having lost my engagement and eternity ring they claimed as it was lost indoors we were not covered. So DONT expect peace of mind from this company
