Aviva says it will cover wind damage
Aviva has advised homeowners to take basic precautions to protect themselves and their property as winds of around 80mph batter the UK.
Aviva has put its network of contractors, claims teams and call centre staff on standby.
The insurer's director of property claims, Rob Townend, said: “Like floods, tornadoes, earthquakes and freeze, storms and gales are covered as standard by your home insurance policy.
“There is no such thing as an “Act of God” exclusion - this is exactly what your insurance covers you for."
He continued: “So any damage caused to your property as a direct result of storm force wind and rain is covered and if you are forced to move out of your home the cost of alternative accommodation is also paid for. We can make separate arrangements for your pets too!”
