I thought you meant you wanted household insurance that would give you bike cover.

A quick search brings up these as being cheap(ish): http://www.eandl.co.uk/cycle-insurance

But I've never used them myself so can't really recommend.

CTC ? I thought they were expensive when I looked.

Its generally cheaper to get it as part of or added to a house contents policy.

I use hiscox which will insure any bike no matter of price, if stolen from your house.
I then have specific bikes covered that I may leave in a car / at work on all risk

cheers guys. seems its going to cost £500+ for 3 bikes and they are only covered if you make completely sure that no one could steal them ever and only covered in a car boot if its a saloon with no fold down seats. tho i dont know many car boots that would take a dh bike, thats why i got an estate. my car insurance isnt much more than what they want for my bikes.

change yr house insurance to the halifax, or M&S...

unlimited contents, unlisted items... each item 2.5 k max..

the MTB forums are full of advice... all boils down to the above... norton & I have commented on this before... no other defo covered easier way that I know of
