Insuring my garden office?
Options

I am in the process of getting my lovely lovely garden office built (can you tell I'm excited, LOL!) - in fact they are out there right now, beavering away in the sunshine - but it suddenly occurred to me, what about insurance?
Obviously I won't leave my laptop in there overnight or anything, but there will be furniture in there and the 'building' itself is gorgeous and has various 'fixtures and fittings'...
Is there anyone out there who deals in this sort of insurance? The office was from here: gardenlodges.co.uk in case it helps to know the type of construction I am talking about. Obviously I don't want to insure it as a 'house', as that would be too expensive!
Any advice?

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but have you asked the company this question? I can't see it in their FAQ but I would have thought most of their customers would have asked about it and they might have recommendations or even special deals available.0

Or might be worthwhile checking with your existing home insurance company first, might be covered ? Long shot but you never know.
If not you may get a bolt-on better deal ?
Just a thought.0 -
Do you currently have insurance for your business? Ask that company to extend cover.Signature removed for peace of mind0

Thanks for all the helpful responses. Garden Lodges were really helpful and told me how other customers had sorted it, so I'm now up and running! Yay!The people in my life: Betty Crocker, Mr. T and Gordon (of Gordon's gin) :T0
