The Warranty is for OFTEC registered technicians and the scheme covers the cost of rectifying any defective work directly attributable to the installation work which falls within the building regulations outlined in the certificate. The householder may be able to claim for rectification work if the original OFTEC installer is no longer trading. The warranty lasts for six years from the date OFTEC receives job notification and is fully transferable if the property is sold during this period.

It is a requirement of the OFTEC Competent Persons Scheme (CPS) to hold a Workmanship Warranty. The workmanship warranty gives  customers the reassurance that their work is covered and a certificate is automatically sent to them as part of the building regulations compliance certificate.

The OFTEC Workmanship Warranty comes complete with deposit protection insurance protecting a deposit paid by the customer (up to 25% of the contract value) to a maximum of £10,000 until the work commences up to a maximum of 90 days.
