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.
Pet grooming businesses require specialised insurance due to the distinct risks involved in handling animals. Groomers work with sharp tools around sometimes unpredictable pets, operate specialised equipment, and take temporary custody of clients’ beloved companions. Standard business insurance policies rarely address these unique circumstances adequately.
Your grooming salon or mobile unit houses expensive equipment like hydraulic tables, professional clippers, dryers, and bathing systems. Additionally, you face specific liabilities when working with animals who might become stressed or agitated during grooming sessions. These factors create a unique risk profile that requires dedicated insurance coverage rather than generic business policies.
General business insurance typically fails to provide adequate protection for pet groomers. Your business involves specific risks that standard policies don’t address, including:
Without specialist cover, you might find yourself unprotected against the most common claims in the grooming industry. Our tailored Cat & Dog Grooming Insurance recognises these unique challenges and provides protection specifically designed for your profession.
Our Pet Grooming Insurance can be customised to suit your specific business needs, typically including:
Essential coverage that protects you if a client, visitor, or member of the public suffers injury or property damage because of your business activities. This covers legal fees and compensation payments if someone slips on wet floors in your salon or if you accidentally damage a client’s property during a home visit.
This covers you against claims for negligent advice or services. For example, if a client claims you recommended inappropriate products for their pet’s skin condition, this insurance covers your legal defence and potential compensation.
Specifically designed to protect you when animals are temporarily in your care. This covers situations where an animal is injured during the grooming process or escapes from your premises.
Protects your valuable grooming equipment, including clippers, dryers, tables, and bathing systems, against damage, breakdown, or theft. This ensures you can quickly replace essential tools without a significant financial impact on your business.
Provides financial support if your business cannot operate due to an insured event, such as fire or flood damage to your premises. This helps cover ongoing costs and lost income while you’re unable to trade.
A legal requirement if you employ staff, including part-time workers or trainees. This covers claims if an employee becomes ill or injured because of their work.
