Some things in life, and business, don’t fit into a standard insurance category. That’s where our Specialist Insurance services come in.
At Chris Knott, we understand that unique risks need tailored solutions, not off-the-shelf policies. From niche community groups to creative professionals, we work with specialist insurers to get the cover that fits your world.
Whether you're running a dog walking service, managing an allotment, or safeguarding a historic place of worship, we take the time to understand your needs and arrange protection that reflects the true value of what you do.
Excellent service from start to finish. The team took time to understand exactly what I needed and found me a great policy at a competitive price. Couldn't be happier with the whole experience.
Been with Chris Knott for over 5 years now. Easy renewal process and the team are always a pleasure to speak with. Proper UK-based advice you can actually trust.
After being let down by my previous insurer, Chris Knott made the whole process painless. Honest, straightforward, and friendly from the very first call. Highly recommend them.
Andy was brilliant - talked me through all the options clearly, no pressure, and found me a much better deal than the comparison sites. This is how insurance should be done.
I needed specialist cover for my classic Jaguar and Chris Knott sorted it quickly and at a great price. Really impressed with the level of knowledge and personal service.
Switched my home insurance after a recommendation from a friend. Very competitive premium and the whole thing was done in under 20 minutes. Very pleased with everything.
First-class service. I dealt with Emma who was patient, helpful and knew exactly what I needed for my thatched cottage. Got proper specialist cover, not a standard policy.
Genuinely good old-fashioned customer service. A real person who actually listens and helps you find the right cover. Wouldn't go anywhere else for my insurance now.
Had a claim last year and Chris Knott supported me throughout. Made a stressful situation much easier. Fair, fast, and professional - exactly what you want from a broker.
Renewed my multi-car policy today. Still the best value I've found anywhere and the team remembered me from last year. That personal touch really makes a difference.
Very helpful team, especially when I needed to add a modified vehicle to my policy. Talked me through everything and made sure I was properly covered. Excellent all round.
Chris Knott have been brilliant for my listed property - most insurers wouldn't touch it but they found me comprehensive cover at a sensible price. Grateful for their expertise.
Efficient, clear, and competitive. I ran through three comparison sites before calling Chris Knott and they beat them all. UK-based team made the whole thing painless.
Outstanding from start to finish. I've recommended Chris Knott to everyone I know - my parents, my sister, and even my colleagues. They never let anyone down.
The service is what sets Chris Knott apart. You get proper advice from people who understand insurance, not a script. Worth every penny and more.
With over 40 years of experience, we’ve seen it all - and we know where to find cover for the things that most brokers don’t understand. We’re independent, which means we’re not tied to any one insurer. Instead, we use our relationships with specialist underwriters to source policies that are flexible, comprehensive, and fairly priced.
And because we’re a real, UK-based team, not an online-only operation, you get personal support and straightforward advice from start to finish. No jargon, no scripts, no pressure, just insurance that works for you.
Whether you are managing a breed-specific club, hosting dog shows and agility trials, or coordinating training classes and social walks, your canine society or association is a cornerstone of the UK’s dog-owning community. However, overseeing any organised group carries inherent responsibilities and unforeseen risks.
From accidental injuries during events to liability claims from the public or your own members, having the correct insurance cover ensures your organisation remains protected. This security allows you to focus on what truly matters: championing and supporting our canine companions across the country.
Historic buildings, community services, and faith-based activities all require careful, considered cover. We arrange Place of Worship Insurance that protects buildings, contents, liability, and special items like stained glass, organs or artwork.
Whether you’re a church, mosque, synagogue or temple, we can help you get the protection you need, respectfully and professionally, so your space and community remain secure.
Managing a community allotment or garden space? We can arrange specialist cover for your allotment, including public liability, member-to-member cover, tool storage and site structures. We understand the unique needs of allotment groups and can tailor protection for both the land and your volunteers.
From annual events to shared facilities, we’ll make sure your policy reflects how your allotment operates, so you can focus on growing, not worrying.
Whether you’re a dog walker, groomer, boarder or trainer, working with animals carries its own set of responsibilities. We arrange insurance tailored for dog businesses, including public liability, care, custody and control (in case a dog is injured in your care), equipment cover, and more.
You love dogs, we do too. That’s why we take time to understand your business and arrange a policy that supports your work, protects your reputation, and gives your clients confidence.
Whether you shoot weddings, wildlife, portraits or products, your gear and your work deserve proper protection. We arrange Photography Insurance that can cover cameras, lenses, lighting, drones, and editing equipment, plus liability cover for client shoots or public spaces.
We can also include cover for studio premises, worldwide travel, and hired equipment. So whether you're freelance, part-time or running a full-blown photography business, you’re free to focus on the shot, while we handle the insurance.
Need help understanding what cover applies to your unique setup? Our Specialist Insurance Knowledge Hub offers helpful insights, guides and FAQs for less common policy types. From trustee responsibilities to gear valuations, we break down the things that matter - so your specialist cover never feels complicated.
