THE ULTIMATE PROTECTION FOR YOUR HOME

PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT

homepro

Smiths of Bromley’s Loft Conversions are backed by Homepro insurance meaning your investment is safe. A LTD company that hands you a warranty is virtually useless unless insurance backed.
Although a home improvement is one of the safest forms of financial investment, there is one pitfall that is often overlooked – A WORTHLESS GUARANTEE.

Most contractors issue a guarantee upon the work they have carried out, the benefits of which are realised should you have reason to claim for faulty workmanship or material defects.

HOWEVER…

Thousands of contractors, large and small, cease to trade each year.

Guarantee periods can extend to as long as 10 years and much can happen to any business in that time, regardless of current stature. This is particularly true in today’s volatile business environment.

If your chosen contractor were to cease trading you could be left with faulty goods, a guarantee of absolutely no value and the prospect of paying for the work to be done AGAIN.

ELIMINATE THE RISK

The solution to this nagging fear is found with the HomePro Insurance Backed Guarantee which matches the terms of the contractor’s original guarantee, subject to the Terms and Conditions of the Insurance, should they no longer be in a position to honour a claim you may have to make.

HomePro should be able to provide an Insurance Backed Guarantee on your contractor’s work to protect your project from start to finish and beyond. Always remember to check this with your contractor prior to accepting a quote.

Ensure that you choose a reputable contractor to carry out any improvements on your home.
