He added: “It is quick and easy for installers to register a HomePro IBG and they are widely accepted by self-assessment bodies such as FENSA and CERTASS. If installers take just a few moments to learn the new regs, they can make the most of our IBGs but any installer who gets it wrong may risk not being able to register their work by self-assessment. “Like any new legislation, it may take a little time for people to get used to it but once they have had time to absorb a few new working practices, everything should fall into place naturally. And of course, any of our customers are welcome to contact us at any time if they need further clarification.” Some of the main changes at a glance: • A mandatory IBG covering the product guarantee (see: www.homepro.com/ HomeProInsurance ) • The IBG to include mandatory cover against breaches of all applicable aspects of Building Regulations (not just Part L). • Any IBG not incorporating these changes by the June deadline will not qualify to register installations under self-assessment. • A MTC qualified installer will need to be present at every installation. Also anyone carrying out a survey will also need to be assessed (unless they can show they are under the supervision of a competent surveyor).
