Step by step

Here’s what to expect when you’re making a home insurance claim with RSA:

  1. Call our team
    You can reach the claims team on 0330 102 4204. We’re open 8am-6pm, Monday to Friday and 9am-1pm on Saturdays. Please make sure you have your policy number to hand.
  2. Tell us about your claim
    After verifying your details, we’ll ask for details of your claim. The more details you can provide on this initial call, the quicker the claims process will be. If you are claiming for contents, we may ask for receipts, especially for valuable items. Again, if you’re able to provide receipts, your claim can be settled more quickly.
  3. We’ll work on your claim
    What happens next depends on the type of claim you’re making. It includes things like assessing for repair versus replacement or cash settlement, valuation, surveying damage, and management of the repairs process.
  4. Settling your claim
    How we settle your claim will be based upon the type of claim you’re making, and whether the settlement is a cash payment, item replacement or a repair. If any excess is due, it will be requested before settlement of your claim. You’ll find full details of the claims process for each situation in our policy wording document.
