Insurance Backed Guarantees for Loft Conversions

A loft conversion is one of the larger home improvement projects most homeowners take on — and one of the longer ones to see through to completion. That length of project is exactly why protection arranged before the contract starts matters more than a promise made after something's gone wrong.

​

Home Improvements Guarantee connects you with vetted contractors who use insurance-backed guarantees on loft conversion projects. Where arranged, this can include:

​

• Deposit protection — cover for 90 days from the date on your Deposit Protection Policy document

• Work-in-progress protection — up to 25% of the contract value if the project is left unfinished

• Materials protection — subject to the manufacturer's own guarantee

• Workmanship protection — guaranteed for up to 5–10 years after completion, mirroring the contractor's written guarantee

 

Before you appoint a loft conversion contractor, it's worth asking directly: "Is this project protected by an insurance-backed guarantee, and can I see the policy document?" A contractor who uses guarantees confidently will have no problem answering.
