It is unlikely that your current home insurance policy will cover your Shepherd’s Hut. If you want cover against fire, flood, theft and other risks, we will help you find specialist insurance at a competitive price.

Why Choose James Hallam

Talk to us and we will ensure you get full cover, whether you use your hut as a home office, a holiday let, or a bed and breakfast. We will cover you whether you keep your shepherd’s hut in your garden, on another plot of land that you either own or rent, or if your shepherd’s hut is part of a larger camping or glamping complex. There are no postal area restrictions.
