Warranty Cover

This certificate has been issued to evidence that the work (as defined below) carried out by the above named business (“the installer”) is protected by the CORGI Workmanship Warranty Scheme, where (“the installer”) and/or the “operative” (employed by “the installer)” hold all valid necessary qualifications and certificates and have registered onto a CORGI Competent Persons Scheme. This Warranty does not extend to Work carried out for which “the installer” or “the operative” are not registered to do so with a CORGI Competent Persons Scheme.

Subject to the required notification of the installation and payment of the appropriate fee for cover to CORGI and the undernoted terms and conditions the Workmanship Warranty remains in force for a period of six years from the date the individual who has carried out the work (“Operative”) certifies to CORGI that he has completed the Work and if a claim is made under the warranty (which can only be made if the installer is legally unable to carry out any necessary remedial work) then CORGI will cover the costs of undertaking rectification of defective workmanship.

Work means:

1. Plumbing installations where such work is covered by the Building Regulations Approved Documents parts G and L.
2. Installation of ventilation where such work is covered by the Building Regulations Approved Document part F (not including the installation of air conditioning).

In all cases the work is carried out in a residential dwelling (as defined below) and such residential dwelling is located within the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands for Gas Safety Regulations. For a CORGI Competent Persons Scheme this is a residential dwelling in England and Wales only.
