You can also upgrade your insurance to Halifax Insurance Ultimate and receive replacement sets cover. If an item that forms part of a matching set has been damaged, then all items in the set will be replaced. An example could be replacement kitchen doors, where these are part of a set buy only one door has been damaged. The replacement would be uniform to the set and this may mean replacing all the kitchen doors if that design is no longer available. Under your contents cover an example of this could be replacing a three-piece suite when only the armchair has been damaged.
