Wykamol Group give you the peace of mind that when you request an insurance backed guarantee, the Wykamol Approved Contractor who contacts you will be able to offer you a guarantee from CGS.
Sticking a pin into a phone book gives you a 20-1 chance of finding a contractor good enough to be backed by an insurance company authorised and regulated by the FSA.
But if gambling with your house is not your thing and you prefer competence over cowboys then choose a CGS Approved Contractor. CGS offer insured guarantees with the insurance certificate specific to your property and issued by an FSA authorised and regulated UK insurance company. 70% of all companies go out of business within 20 years and though CGS contractors are considerably below the national average because of the quality of the contractors allowed into membership, for a very small one-off premium you can insure against even this eventuality.
Warning: some companies offer “Insurance Backed Guarantees” but all this indicates is an annual insurance by the guarantee company, with the insurance in the name of that company not your house and if it is not paid annually then it collapses.
When comparing quotes, check what you are getting and ask competing contractors which of these they can offer (if any).
