davidc Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Has anybody experienced any reluctance from warranty providers (hence also mortgage lenders) to cover EPS type passive slab foundations ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone West Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 None at all. We have an EPS PH slab and a warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSharp01 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 None from ours either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonM Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Me neither. We have an isoquick slab and warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidc Posted July 5, 2019 Author Share Posted July 5, 2019 Thanks all. That's one less thing to worry about ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidc Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 So were any of the warranties folk got on builds with passive slab foundations provided by NHBC ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willbish Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Nope, protek here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitpipe Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Ours was Ark (who went bust I think) but they didn't blink at a passive basement holding up the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperJohnG Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 @PeterStarck @MikeSharp01 @jonM Can I ask who your warranties were with? Struggling with doing a SIPS kit and passive slab and finding warranty suppliers who are happy if you don't have a main contractor. @LA3222 you got one recently too I believe?

jonM Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 My Warranty was with selfbuildzone. They were fine with me using a passive slab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdly - Protek will not quote me....saying they don't do structural warranty for SIPS?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LA3222 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 @SuperJohnG just checked the statement of facts on my policy and it definitely says SIP on there as the method of construction. I found getting a warranty/BC to be one of the more tedious tasks. A lot of work to either get a 'no' or a stupid premium - and I consider it to be worthless but a necessary evil for remortgaging purposes with made it all the more annoying I had to invest time in this charade!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In good news I checked my protek account and albeit was originally refused as it was SIPS ( i was originally told over phone it was a no to sips around 6 months ago then around two weeks ago online again)....they seem to.have now given me a price for it...they just hadn't sent an email to say it had now changed. £2900 odds....i don't have BC as the LA do that in scotland. Its still a sore one but 400 quid cheaper than self build zone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
