Insurance Backed Guarantees
An Insurance backed guarantee provides financial protection to homeowners, in the event their installer ceases to trade and is unable to honour their written guarantee. This provides homeowners with peace of mind, confidence, and trust in their installer and home improvement.
How does an Insurance Backed Guarantee work?
Installers will provide their own written workmanship guarantee. This will outline a guarantee period, during which the installer will return and fix any faults resulting from faulty workmanship.
If the installer goes out of business during this period, the workmanship guarantee is worthless. This is where the insurance backed guarantee comes in, and takes over the guarantee period, providing an extra layer of financial protection.

Why do I need an IBG?
Beyond providing your customers with additional financial protection, IBG’s are needed for those who require funding under various government schemes (such as ECO4, SHDF, HUG, LADS, GBIS & NISEP), and are often stipulated as a requirement when signing up with certain certification bodies and competent person schemes.

Made the process smooth and easy, very happy.
The accreditation process with Qualitymark was very straightforward and they were very helpful in getting me through. They require a reassuring amount of detail, meaning that I can be happy that they are not just accepting anyone onto their programme, but at the same time it’s not too onerous so that a small company with limited access to administrative staff, like my own, is not put off.
Nice to deal with a real person, very professional and made getting the correct Insurance easy. First class service from my relationship manager.
Once again QMP have help me expand my credibility by increasing the services that we can offer IBG’s on. This has had a massively positive effect on our business and was an effortless process done over one email. Thanks again guys your help is much appreciated.

We would definitely recommend Qualitymark Protection to any business in the Home Improvement sector.”
