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.
Very good experience insuring through Chris Knott. Prompt callback, professional staff that communicate really well. Simple uncomplicated emails and documentation. Can’t fault them.

Shop Insurance is a type of cover that is specifically designed to protect shop owners, their stock, premises, customers and employees.
This means it typically provides financial protection should your property be damaged, lost or stolen, as well as protecting you against your liabilities. The latter will help to cover any legal fees or compensation payments you need to make.

We can also provide insurance for shops that are based online.
Yes, we can! Running an online shop is a little different to operating out of a physical space, but much of the cover you will need is the same. By talking to our experienced team, we can help you to get the right Retailers Insurance for your online business.
You never really know what can happen, and as a busy shopkeeper, you need to protect your business and your income. Replacing stolen products, handling the legal costs of an employee’s claim or repairing damage to your premises can have a huge impact on your bottom line. However, with the right Retail Shop Insurance, you can rest assured that you won’t have to face these costs alone.
The cost of insurance for shops will depend on your store’s risks and what you want to include in your Shop Insurance policy. Your stock, number of employees, where your shop is based and whether you own your premises will all play a part.
