[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 478363, member: 250"] If any contractor has ballsed up a job, and it is proved they have been negligent etc etc.. Then they are liable to go back and do whatever remedial work is needed to fix the issue at their own expense.. BUT.. if customer finds work was negligent a couple of years later and in the meantime the contractor has retired, ceased trading, serious illness unable to work etc... so has wound-up their old business.. Customer has no-where to go.. i.e. If business no-longer trading, legally customer has no one to claim against.. f I recall it was introduce following loads of similar problems in the building trade with conservatory fitters... Who built conservatory... 18months later roof starts leaking... Company no-longer trading.. so customer high-and-dry with worthless 5 or 10 year warranty bit of paper issued by the contractor!.. So FENSA set up their insurance backed warranty which is independent of if the business is trading anymore or not. AFAIK The whole Part-P warranty was based on the model used by FENSA for the windows & conservatory's So thats where the "insurance backed warranty" malarkey comes in... customer contacts scheme provider... They then get AN.Other contractor to put it right costs paid for via insurance claim... :coffee [/QUOTE]
