What Is a 10 Year Structural Warranty?
A structural warranty is an insurance-backed policy designed to protect against certain qualifying structural defects for a defined period after completion.
The exact cover, exclusions, excesses and claims process depend on the selected provider and policy wording. The warranty is separate from Building Control approval, household insurance and the contractor's normal workmanship responsibilities.
Mortgage lenders often require a recognised warranty before lending on a newly built or converted property.
Technical Review and Site Inspections
Warranty providers normally require technical information and staged inspections so they can assess the construction before the final warranty documentation is issued.
Inspection requirements vary according to the project, provider, construction stage and available evidence.
Architectural and structural drawing review
Ground and foundation information
Site inspections during construction
Drainage and substructure review
Superstructure and roof inspections
Evidence of materials and workmanship
Completion documentation
Final warranty certification
Late Applications
Completed and Part-Completed Developments
It is best to arrange the warranty before construction begins, but some providers may consider projects that are already underway or complete.
Part-Completed Projects
The provider may request additional photographs, invoices, inspection records or opening-up to verify concealed work.
Completed Properties
Retrospective cover may be possible where sufficient design, construction and completion evidence is available.
Additional Technical Evidence
Structural reports, Building Control records, test certificates and product information may be required.
Provider Acceptance
Availability is not guaranteed and depends on the provider's technical and underwriting review.
