Workmanship guarantee

12-month workmanship guarantee for property maintenance work carried out by Nifty Fixes North East.

12-month period Cover runs from completion, unless agreed otherwise in writing.
Fair review We assess the issue, request evidence where needed and advise on the right route.
Rights protected This guarantee does not affect statutory rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Our guarantee position

Workmanship is covered. Products, materials and unrelated faults are treated separately.

Our workmanship guarantee is designed to give customers confidence while keeping the cover clear and fair. It applies to the workmanship we have carried out, subject to normal use and the original agreed scope of works.

Standard guarantee wording

Nifty Fixes North East provides a 12-month workmanship guarantee on works carried out by us. This guarantee applies to our workmanship only and does not cover materials supplied by third parties, manufacturer defects, misuse, accidental damage, lack of maintenance, third-party interference, hidden defects, movement, damp, structural issues, or unrelated faults. This does not affect statutory rights.

Plain-English summary: if there is a genuine workmanship issue connected to the work we completed, we will review it and deal with it appropriately. If the issue is caused by something outside our workmanship, it may need to be quoted, investigated or handled separately.

What the guarantee covers

Covered where the issue arises directly from our workmanship.

The guarantee is focused on workmanship defects connected to the agreed work carried out by Nifty Fixes North East. It is not a general guarantee against every future fault, product issue or property condition.

Review and response

We will review the issue, ask for useful information and confirm the appropriate next step.

Materials, products and manufacturer warranties

Products, parts and materials may be covered by a separate manufacturer or supplier warranty. Those warranties are separate from our workmanship guarantee. Where appropriate, we can help identify the likely warranty route, but we do not guarantee third-party products as if we manufactured them.

  • Manufacturer and supplier warranties are separate from workmanship cover
  • Third-party materials are not guaranteed by us as if they are our own manufactured products
  • Customer-supplied materials are excluded from product warranty support by us
  • Product defects may need to be handled through the supplier, manufacturer or original warranty route

Examples of what is not covered

Some issues fall outside workmanship cover because they are caused by use, damage, existing property conditions, third-party work or matters outside the original agreed scope.

  • Accidental damage, misuse, vandalism, neglect or lack of maintenance
  • Normal wear and tear or cosmetic changes that do not affect function
  • Third-party alterations, repairs, adjustments or interference
  • Faults caused by customer-supplied products, parts or materials
  • Hidden, pre-existing, structural, damp, movement or unrelated property issues
  • Work, defects or follow-on issues outside the original agreed scope unless agreed as a variation

How to raise a workmanship concern

Send the details so we can assess the issue properly.

The more information you provide at the start, the quicker we can understand whether the issue appears to fall within the workmanship guarantee and what the next step should be.

Send the job details

Include the invoice number, estimate number, job reference or the name/address used for the original booking.

Describe the issue

Explain what has happened, when you first noticed it and whether anything has changed since completion.

Add photos or videos

Clear photos or short videos help us review the issue before deciding whether a visit is needed.

We review next steps

We will advise whether it appears to be a workmanship concern, a chargeable issue or something outside our scope.

If the issue is not covered

If an issue is not covered by the workmanship guarantee, we may still be able to help. In those circumstances, any attendance, investigation, labour, parts or return visits may be chargeable. Where possible, we will confirm the likely route before attending.

  • Non-warranty faults may be quoted separately
  • Additional labour, materials or return visits may be chargeable
  • Hidden defects or unrelated faults are treated as separate works
  • Any new scope should be confirmed before additional work proceeds

Statutory rights

This workmanship guarantee is provided in addition to, and does not affect, statutory rights that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded. Nothing on this page is intended to reduce a customer’s legal rights.

  • Consumer statutory rights remain unaffected
  • Accepted estimates, quotations or contracts may contain job-specific wording
  • Written quotations and contracts take precedence where they contain specific agreed terms
  • We aim to deal with genuine workmanship concerns fairly and professionally
