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.
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.
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.
