Conservatory owners urged to check insurance details
Brits who have invested in a conservatory to make the most of their garden during the warmer months have been advised to make sure their home insurance covers their outdoor items.
A number of companies, including Saga and Halifax, have warned outdoor areas are targeted by thieves and vandals more during the summer months.
