Guarantees

New Roofs & Roof Renewals - 10 Years

Slate, Tile, Built-up Felt, Mastic Asphalt, Single Ply Membrane, Profiled Sheeting & Polymer Coating Systems

On all new roofs and roof renewals, carried out in compliance with current British Standards and Codes of Practice, we offer our own 10 Year Guarantee on workmanship and materials at no additional cost.

In addition we can also provide a 10 Year "Insurance Backed" Guarantee underwritten by Guarantee Protection Insurance Ltd, a major player in the international insurance market.  Where the property is a single occupier domestic premise the guarantee is provided by us at no additional cost. 

For industrial or commercial premises (which term includes multiple occupancy buildings such a residential blocks of flats) the cost of providing a 10 Year "Insurance Backed" Guarantee is dependant upon the term, contract value and specification.  Application and premium payment is made by the client direct to QANW (the scheme administrators).  In general terms however the premium cost is in the range of 1.5 - 2.0%   of the contract value, plus IPT (Insurance Premium Tax).

Built-up Felt Roofs Only

Guarantees extending to 12, 15, 20 or even 25 years are possible on high specification built-up felt roofing systems.  These are issued by the felt manufacturer and are subject to inspection and full compliance with their specification (the inclusion of roof insulation products is normally a pre-condition of such warranties).  We can usually offer such warranties using either Icopal, Pluvitec, or Langley felt products.

Felt Overlay Systems - 10/12 & 15 Years

It is sometimes possible, depending upon the condition of an existing asphalt roof covering and roof decking, to offer a felt overlay system.  In such cases we will provide a 10 Year Guarantee on workmanship and materials.

On certain Icopal, Langley or Pluvitec felt overlay systems we can also offer extended 12 or 15 year warranties.  (These are only available at the discretion of of the manufacturer and are subject to an inspection of the existing roof by their representative and full compliance with the resultant overlay specification issued by them.)

Major Repairs & Roof Overhauls - up to 3 Years

General repairs are not normally guaranteed for more than 3 months.  

This should not be viewed as a reflection on the standard of workmanship applied to general repairs, rather it recognises the difficulty in providing a meaningful warranty where only minor aspects of the roof have been worked upon.

Dependant upon the extent and type of repairs carried out we may be able to offer a warranty of up to 3 years on workmanship and materials but this will be entirely at the discretion of the examining surveyor and assumes that all recommended works are carried out.

Client Comments - Felt Gutter Renewal - East Pen Hangar, Heathrow Airport (British Airways) - May 2007

Happy with the works and the attention to detail that the men showed indicates they obviously take pride in their works, which is refreshing and great to see.   Emcor were also more than happy with them and thus we would love to work with LHC again some time.
