Buildings insurance frequently asked questions

Will I need to add some extras?

It’s always good to check what’s included when you get your quote because some of our optional extras are included as standard with AXA Premier Home Insurance.

But if you do feel like you’re missing some cover that you’re likely to need you can add it as an extra when you’re getting your quote, or by logging in to your AXA online account.

With AXA's buildings insurance, there are three optional extras you can choose from:

Accidental damage

Will protect your buildings against those whoops moments, like accidental damage to your walls, ceilings, fixed glass and doors. This comes as standard with AXA Premier Home Insurance policies.

With home assistance, you can call our home emergency helpline at any time of the day and we'll provide cover for a contractor from our approved repairer network to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Call out, works and parts up to a total of £1,000 are covered.

Home emergency cover can be added to AXA Plus Home Insurance and AXA Home Insurance. It’s included as standard with AXA Premier Home Insurance which also offers a higher limit of £1,500 per claim for call out, labour, parts and materials.
