Front Doors, Timber Windows and Sash Windows in Kingston | What is GGFI-Backed Insurance?
If you are hoping to replace the front doors, internal doors, timber windows or sash windows of a property in Kingston, the quality of an installation matters just as much as the products. You may also need to know which protections you have if something goes wrong after the work is completed. These protections are equally as important when a client is fitting fire doors, door furniture or plantation shutters.
LDS Joinery Ltd, a joinery company covering Kingston or locations in all surrounding areas, has GGFI-backed insurance in place and offers the layer of protection needed for an eligible installation project.
This includes the installation of 1930s front doors, Edwardian front doors or Victorian front doors for period buildings across Kingston.
What is GGFI-Backed Insurance?
GGFI, a subsidiary of Installsure, is a provider of insurance-backed guarantees for the glazing and home improvement sectors. Insurance-backed guarantees (IBG) protect an installer’s guarantee against the risk of the installation company becoming insolvent during projects.
Installsure states that its IBGs will cover eligible window and door installations depending on the specific policy or the work involved.
This is important because a normal joinery company guarantee depends on the installer staying in business. Our insurance-backed guarantee is designed to provide better protection far beyond this key risk.
For homeowners in Kingston, this is a distinction that affords added confidence when committing to a substantial installation project.
How Do IBGs Relate to Windows and Doors?
GGFI-backed insurance is particularly relevant to installation works involving products, such as timber windows and doors. The Glass and Glazing Federation recommends checking that guarantees for installed windows, doors and shutters are insurance-backed and understandable.
This is relevant to a range of projects, including:
- Front doors including 1930s front doors, Edwardian front doors and Victorian front doors for period-style properties
- Internal doors or associated door furniture, both of which can be included into a quotation from our joinery company
- Fire doors where suitable specifications and core installation requirements are applicable for upholding protection
- Timber windows and sash windows, available to customers in the Kingston area who are replacing the existing glazing
- Plantation shutters and other joinery installations subject to the terms of guarantees offered by a joinery company
The important point is that insurance-backed guarantees are not used to replace high-end workmanship. You should still ask what guarantee applies to your particular installation, the products it covers, how long the cover will last, and whether there are exclusions present.
Choosing a Joinery Company with GGFI-Backed Insurance
Replacing timber windows or commissioning front doors is significant in terms of investment. Period properties will also require careful attention to the proportions, fine detailing and existing openings.
For example, a homeowner restoring a Victorian property in Kingston may want new Victorian front doors or traditional sash windows that complement the original architecture. Somebody renovating a period home might instead need 1930s front doors or Edwardian front doors with the appropriate door furniture or with matched timber details.
Using a joinery company with insurance-backed protection gives local customers an extra safeguard alongside the practical benefits of our professional installation service. You can also ask for confirmation of an insurance-backed guarantee before work begins. Check that your guarantee is insurance-backed and always read the small print first.
In doing so, you will better understand the protection provided.
