HOME IMPROVEMENT INSURANCE & GUARANTEES

When having home improvement works carried out on your property, it is essential to make sure an insurance policy is in place and given to you, by way of business, as part of the overall sale to protect you from unforeseeable circumstances.
An Insurance Backed Guarantee (IBG) is valuable protection in the unlikely event of an installation company or contractor ceasing to trade. Only use a company or contractor who will provide you with a home improvement guarantee – with the paperwork to prove it. Otherwise, you could believe you are covered when you are not.

DEPOSIT PROTECTION FOR HOME IMPROVEMENTS

Many trades take a deposit before starting a job – this is usual practice. Making sure your deposit is insured is essential to ensure that your home improvement project reaches completion, even if the company you choose were to fail. Without a deposit, you run the risk of losing your money and your dream home.
Usually it is down to your tradesman or contractor to protect your deposit, but many times customer deposits aren’t secured. It is vital to check that your approved builder, installer or contractor protects your deposit before beginning work on your property, so your hard earned cash is safe.
The CPA holds a database of tradesmen who can offer you a deposit protection scheme. By choosing a CPA member to carry out work on your home, you are not only choosing a rated tradesmen whose standard of work has been checked and verified, but your deposit will be insured.
