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.
I started using Chris Knott Insurance a couple of years ago for my Camera and Photography Insurance. The staff are extremely helpful and their customer service is very efficient. Recently I part exchanged all my camera equipment for equipment from another manufacturer. I sent an email setting out all the changes and received updated documentation and a refund within a couple of hours. Absolutely first class.

The most common questions we're asked about photography insurance. Can't find what you're looking for? Speak to our UK-based team on 0800 917 2274.
Photography Insurance is a specialised form of cover designed for both amateur and professional photographers, videographers and processing labs.
We know that you carry and use very expensive camera equipment, and it is likely that you will also be taking it to unusual or busy locations to capture the perfect shot. This means that damage, theft or loss could leave you with a large hole in your pocket.
Professionals and businesses have even more at stake if something goes wrong, as well as the additional risks of liability. We therefore tailor our Photography Insurance to suit your unique needs, but it could cover:
If you are a professional, we can also arrange additional Photography Insurance cover to protect you against the loss of gross profits or additional costs if your equipment is lost or damaged. To discuss insurance for cameras or general Photography Insurance, get in touch with our experienced team today.
At Chris Knott, we offer Photography Insurance for residents and businesses based in the UK and Northern Ireland.
Photography Insurance is designed for all kinds of amateur or professional image producers, from photographers, videographers and photojournalists to processing labs. For this reason, Photography Insurance can be tailored to suit each individual or business, providing essential financial protection for equipment and business activity.
Absolutely! We don’t just offer insurance for photographers. If you run a photography studio or even a processing lab, you’ll need insurance to cover the risks you face. That’s why we can arrange policies that include Employers’ Liability Insurance to protect you against employee claims of illness or injury during the course of their work. We also offer Public Liability Insurance to protect against similar claims from members of the public. That’s in addition to property insurance and Camera Equipment Insurance.
When it comes to insurance for cameras, this really depends on what you need!
At Chris Knott, there is no maximum limit for the amount of Camera Insurance you can get. We can also organise cover for labs of all sizes, buildings and shop fronts. Our Business Liability package is also available for businesses, which offers cover such as Photography Public Liability, Employers’ Liability and Professional Indemnity for photographers.
Obviously, we’d recommend working with a broker like Chris Knott Insurance. We’ll work with you to identify the specific risks you face and tailor a policy to your needs, so you’re not over or underinsured.

Accidents can and will happen, so it is perhaps not surprising to find that accidental damage to equipment is one of the most common claims.
It is for this reason that you should always make sure that your equipment is well protected. If something were to happen, it is good to know that you had Photography or Camera Insurance UK in place.
If you are hosting a photoshoot and a third party, such as a model, is injured while on set, then Photography Public Liability Insurance will financially protect you against any claims.
It can also protect you if you, or one of your employees, damages any property. For instance, if you spill a drink over the carpet of the room you are shooting in, it will provide you with cover to pay for the carpet to be cleaned or replaced.
This insurance can also come in handy if you run a processing lab. If a visitor slips on a wet floor and injures themselves, they could make a claim against you.
For these reasons, if you are a professional photographer or run a photography business, having Photography Public Liability Insurance in place can give you valuable peace of mind.
Absolutely! Our insurance includes annual cover for all photography activities (subject to top policy wording and exclusions, such as working at height). This means that if you host a photoshoot, you can be sure that accidents, injuries and mishaps are covered.
It is. We can arrange insurance for videographers as well as photographers based in the UK and Northern Ireland. Again, it can be tailored to your needs, covering Public Liability for videographers and Employers’ Liability, as well as any commercial property and camera equipment.
No, it isn’t.
If you need Commercial Drone Insurance, we recommend speaking to a specialist insurer. This is because claims of negligence relating to remote-controlled devices can be very complicated and high-risk.
Yes, our Photography Insurance can include worldwide cover for your equipment.
Photography Insurance will also not be valid if you travel to a country that the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) advises you against travelling to.
The minimum premium sits at around £233*.
However, the actual cost of your Photography Insurance will depend on several factors. These include:
