Roof Covering Insurance Backed Guarantee


Johnny Jekyll

Recommended Posts

Our roof carpentry construction for our new build has just about finished and the roofing company is due to start (felt and batten) next week.

We're using the Marley Roof System which has a 15-year Marley guarantee (presume that's materials only), and the Marley (Viridian) Solar System.

Should I get an insurance backed guarantee from the roofer for the installation?

Just want to make sure I have all the correct paperwork.

Thanks.

Sounds like nobody is requiring you to have one, so personally I wouldn't bother. And you may already have left it too late, unless you know for certain that your roofer is approved to provide one?

 

Even if they can provide one, you need to check whether or not it's actually worth anything - the market has a poor reputation. Verify what is actually covered, what needs to happen before you can claim, and whether the insurance company is reputable. If it's a UK insurer regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority that would be a good start.
