The British Urethane Foam Contractors Association 25 Year Warranty - a unique and compelling new alternative to the 'traditional' cavity wall insulation home warranty.
BUFCA 25 Year Warranty is the only warranty to cover both cavity wall insulation and structural stabilisation in one policy, and avoids many of the usual hurdles associated with arranging insurance cover warranties.
BUFCA 25 Year Cavity Wall Insulation and Structural Stabilisation Warranty (to thermally insulate and overcome defective or missing cavity wall ties) covers existing Retrofit-For-The-Future homes, Hard To Treat Homes (HTTH) including homes with hard to fill sub 50mm cavities, and converted properties. The Warranty caters for existing private housing and social housing developments as well as commercial properties. Having our own industry Warranty product offer enables us to also provide bespoke solutions on specific construction projects.
A Structural Stabilisation Warranty to overcome defective or missing cavity wall ties for Retrofit-For-The-Future homes is now an integral part of the lending criteria for many banks, and prospective purchasers may struggle to obtain a mortgage on refurbished properties without one. In simple terms, a BUFCA 25 Year Cavity Wall Insulation and Structural Stabilisation Warranty provides cover against major defects arising from the design, workmanship and materials used in the unlikely event of a failure.
