What Makes This Guarantee Different

Not a Workmanship Warranty

Standard contractor guarantees typically cover workmanship only. This framework extends beyond installation quality to structural decision-making and documented accountability.

Diagnosis-Led Responsibility

Recommendations are based on measured assessment and structured conservation logic rather than assumption or convenience.

Lifecycle Structural Planning

The guarantee reflects long-term performance planning, not short-term repair intervention.

Structured Assurance. Reduced Risk.

A transparent framework designed to protect the building, the client, and the long-term integrity of the structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear, straightforward answers regarding the scope, transferability, and maintenance of your structural guarantee.

Yes. Our structured guarantee is tied to the property itself, not the individual who commissioned the work. The remaining duration of the 10-year assurance transfers fully to the new owners, providing excellent peace of mind during property valuation and sale.

To maintain the validity of the guarantee, the property owner must ensure basic, routine maintenance is upheld. This primarily includes keeping adjacent gutters and leadwork clear of debris to prevent unnatural water pooling, and ensuring the cupola is not subjected to improper third-party alterations.

The guarantee covers structural integrity and material performance under standard Scottish weather conditions. It does not act as an insurance policy against extreme "acts of God" (such as fallen trees or hurricane-force impact damage). Such exceptional events should be covered by your standard building insurance.

In the rare event of a material or structural failure covered under our framework, simply contact us. We will conduct a prompt, priority inspection and undertake the necessary restorative work at no additional cost to you.
