In most cases you shouldn't have to take out any additional cover, though if you regularly work from home let your insurer know, not telling them could invalidate a future claim.
To calculate the amount of cover you need, you should think about how much it would cost to rebuild your property; and how much it would cost to replace your belongings inside.
