Installsure GGFi Guarantee Protection For Peace Of Mind
When you choose County Windows & Conservatories, you have absolute peace of mind that your warranty is protected, thanks to Installsure Guarantee Protection on all works carried out by us. Installsure is part of the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF), which is recognised by the government and plays a significant role in setting new standards and regulations, such as The Building Regulations that govern and control the construction of buildings in the UK.
Installsure — Warranty Protection
Installsure, formerly known as GGFi (Glass and Glazing Federation Insurance), provides insurance-backed guarantees (IBGs) for the glass, glazing, and fenestration industries. It is a trusted insurance provider that offers protection for homeowners and businesses in the event that an installer is unable to fulfil their warranty obligations, such as if the company ceases trading. Installsure is one of the market leaders in the UK for the provision of warranty insurance products and has been servicing the home improvements sector for over a decade with this specialized and valuable form of insurance.
Born from a need for Competent Person Schemes such as FENSA to provide increased protection to homeowners, warranty insurance policies insure guarantees issued by installation businesses against these businesses ceasing to trade. In the event that a business fails during the lifetime of the guarantee, any issues normally recoverable under the terms of the guarantee can be the subject of an insurance claim in line with the policy terms.
What is Installsure Guarantee Protection?
An Installsure guarantee is an insurance-backed guarantee that offers financial protection for homeowners after a product has been installed, such as windows, doors, conservatories, or roofline products. This type of guarantee ensures that even if the original installer is no longer in business, the customer’s warranty remains valid and honoured.
Key Features of Installsure Guarantee Protection
- Peace of Mind: If your installer goes out of business, the Installsure insurance-backed guarantee ensures that any repair or replacement work covered under the original warranty will still be provided.
- Comprehensive Coverage: Installsure covers a wide range of home improvement installations, including windows, doors, rooflines, conservatories, and more—offering protection for both the products and the workmanship.
- Secure and Regulated: Installsure is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), ensuring that their guarantees are legally sound and provide the highest level of consumer protection.
How Does Installsure Work?
Once your installation is complete, your installer will register your product with Installsure. If a problem arises that’s covered under your warranty and your installer is no longer trading, Installsure steps in to honour the warranty. This means you won’t be left without support if something goes wrong after the installation.
Why Installsure is Important for Homeowners
- Protects Your Investment: An IBG from Installsure means that your investment in home improvements is safeguarded, regardless of what happens to the installer.
- Long-Term Security: With coverage that typically lasts 10 years or more, Installsure provides long-term security for homeowners who want peace of mind regarding their installations.
- No Extra Costs: If the need arises to claim through Installsure, homeowners are not required to pay additional fees beyond their original warranty agreement.
At County Windows & Conservatories, we provide Installsure-backed guarantees with every installation, ensuring that your windows, doors, and conservatories are fully protected for years to come.
