The Guarantee

If you’re game for a gamble stick a pin in Yellow Pages and you have a 20-1 chance of finding a contractor good enough to be backed by an FSA regulated insurance company. However if gambling with your house is not your thing and you prefer competence over cowboys then chose a CGS approved contractor. Approved contractors are only accepted by CGS underwriters after exhaustive examination, so don’t gamble on just any contractor insist on a CGS contractor.

What's CGS

Construction Guarantee Services formed over 12 years ago, CGS as a company supports its members’ guarantees by arranging for them to be insured, at the request of the customer, by Millburn Insurance Co Ltd, a UK based FSA authorised and regulated insurance company. A small one-off fee can buy insurance for up to 20 years for remedial timber treatment and damp treatment and up to 10 years for structural waterproofing.

All CGS contractors are independently vetted and only contractors showing a high degree of technical competence, full knowledge of Health and Safety Regulations to protect the customer and financial stability over several years are eligible for membership and able to offer the security of insurance.

CGS offer insured guarantees with an insurance certificate specific to your property and issued by an FSA authorised and regulated UK insurance company also protecting you should we ever cease to trade.

All CGS contractors have achieved what are probably the hardest approval standards in the industry, ensuring that members have an enviable position within the industry. Held in the highest respect amongst specifiers, local authorities, housing associations, church councils and national institutions. Check them out on www.cgsins.co.uk.
