For smaller works you may want to consider the Federation of Master Builders Insurance scheme. LABC works with FMB to help you make informed choices about choosing a quality builder.
Warranties available through FMB Insurance (FMBIS) include the Domestic & Commercial Structural Defects Insurance Policy which offers protection to homeowners in the event that their builder ceases to trade and defects arise within the works. Options include a 2, 6 or 10 year warranty.
Key features of this policy:
- available to be taken out by all builders, but preferential rates and terms are given to FMB registered builders (limitations apply to non-member builder)
- offers protection against defects due to faulty workmanship or materials
- offers protection against structural defects and water ingress
- free dispute resolution service
- protection offered even where the builder has gone out of business
- the policy belongs to the property rather than the homeowner so is fully transferable to future owners
- underwritten by an A+ rated insurer, operating a centralised claims fund, meaning greater protection for the homeowner.
