What Is A Contractor Guarantee?
If you’re an independent contractor, builder or installer offering a high quality
contractor guarantee should form an integral part of your business.
WHAT IS A
CONTRACTOR
GUARANTEE?
A contractor guarantee is
a term used to describe an
Insurance Backed Guarantee:
the guarantee that all UK
independent contractors, builders
and installers must offer by law to
customers when carrying out an
installation or project.
An Insurance Backed
Guarantee is designed to protect
you and your customers in the
unlikely event of your company
ceasing to trade. Available for
a period of up to 10 years, and
backed by a UK authorised
insurer, an Insurance Backed
Guarantee raises consumer
confidence as homeowners will
know that they are protected
should your business go bust.
If, because of liquidation,
receivership, administration or
winding up of your business due
to bankruptcy, state retirement
or death, the company no longer
exists, faults appearing after they
cease to trade may be covered by
the Insurance Backed Guarantee.
As of June 2014, all UK
tradespeople must offer an
Insurance Backed Guarantee
with any installation they carry
out. This means that finding the
right guarantee that can protect
you and your customers, whilst
enhancing your reputation, is
more important than ever.
