Insurance Backed Guarantees (IBG)

This is the cover upon which GPI was founded. We believe our experience and knowledge of this field to be unsurpassed. IBG provides cover to back the builders Guarantee in the event that the builder is no longer trading and a failure to the build occurs. GPI presently underwrite IBG’s for Glazing, Roofing, Waterproofing, Timber treatment, Renovation work and Solar Installations but potentially we can insurance any guarantee in the event the provider is no longer trading.

Latent Defect Insurance (For New Build Renovation and Repair work)

GPI provide cover to industry standards and exceed Mortgage lenders expectations for latent defects cover which are often a requirement to provide finance for new build properties.

In relation to new build this is a ten year cover which comprises initial cover of the deposit and work in progress, followed by the initial 2 year comprehensive cover should the builder cease to trade followed by 8 year major structural damage (whether the builder has ceased to trade or not). Benefits include sound transmission, Alternative accommodation and contamination.

On the general building side we offer the same type of cover but in periods relevant to the work. Two years (6 months full cover + 18 months Major defects) on small works. Six years (2 +4) on extensions and the like and then 10 years (2+8) on major renovations.
