10-year Insurance backed Guarantee

All Japanese Knotweed remediation undertaken by Japanese Knotweed Expert include a 10-Year insurance backed guarantee (IBG) and a 10-year company guarantee in line with industry standards.

What is an Insurance Backed Guarantee?

An insurance backed guarantee (IBG) is an insurance policy that covers the original guarantee provided by the company. However, IBG is a slightly misleading name because an IBG is not actually a guarantee but an insurance policy that backs the companies guarantee. It is a valuable protection for tradespeople like Japanese Knotweed removal specialists and their clients. It gives consumers additional peace of mind as in the unlikely event that the company ceases trading, you are still able to make a claim under the terms of the original guarantee.

Japanese Knotweed Expert's IBG:

There are many Japanese Knotweed companies to choose from with various guarantees in place. Most promise to retreat any regrowth of Japanese Knotweed or other invasive weed free of charge during the period of the guarantee.

 

Insurance backed guarantees go one step further, by ensuring that the guarantee’s obligation is met even if the treatment company becomes insolvent. Before they are willing to lend on properties affected by knotweed, banks and mortgage lenders require a treatment program to be in place along with an IBG. The IBG has therefore become an essential requirement for any owner of knotweed affected property.

 

Not only are all of our services backed by IBG’s, in line with industry standard. We are governed by the PCA, our treatment programs and management plans comply with relevant best codes of practice. Along with the appropriate national government agencies. This combination means that you can have full confidence and real peace of mind that Japanese Knotweed Expert can help you when remediating invasive weeds.
