[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

its the cost of warrenting your work with insurance guarantee for you client

 

[DHTiling]

Arn't the TTA pulling out of the warranty due to lack of take up by members. ?

yes but i asked at the meeting well how much does it cost and do the member know was told yes then asked a few members and they did not have a clue so wondred if anybody else did

 

[DHTiling]

Yes i know and knew how much it was... again IMO it should be included in the TTA annual price.

I see the link to the warranty scheme on the TTA website doesnt work any more.
As far as I recall, the scheme didn't offer a warranty on your work, it offered insurance to the customer against you going bust.
I've considered joining the TTA on and off over the years but failed to see any benefit to me and my business so I never have. Thats another thread tho.

TTA do have some decent benefits to be fair. I'd consider looking at private insurance / warranty, and then comparing. You need a bit of an understanding to it before deciding if it's worth it really. I'd guess, and it's only a guess I've not looked into it, that they've bagged a decent deal for the tiler. They're the guys that'd pull it off if anybody could. And it'd get the industry insure, and also trusted by the customer.

I can see the benefit in it as long as the deal was actually decent to be honest. It's a shame if they have already to do back out of the idea.

Just IMO of course.

the point is does anybody realy know or are they a secret

 

[Dan]

They should know, and it's down to TTA to push the offers/products they offer I guess.

It's a shame to hear the actual members didn't know about the deal, and on the same note, they're scrapping it because of that.

They could do with an actual final push maybe.

there in lies the problem

 

[DHTiling]

All members should know about the TTA warranty scheme , it is pushed enough on the TTA website lol.

Yes. It might be true that the supplier of the insurance might be pulling out due to lack of takers.

 

[DHTiling]

But ray , you do have the choice too not be a member of the TTA , if you are dissatisfied with them.

 

[Ajax123]

Hang on... If you do it right why would you need insurance.

Hence why I did not take up the offer 🙂

 

[stephenoneill]

its a standard 1Oyear warranty for all tiling work here in france;something i find a little too much ;10years is a looonnng time

 

[DHTiling]

What does that warranty entail ... ?

Is it workmanship only , what about wear and tear or customer care of the installation..

 

[Ajax123]

I would think that tiling being a permanent finish should be installed suitable to last the life of the building. Difference in France is that the warranties are built into legislation. Same happens with screeds. If we had that in the UK it would not ny a lot of complaints and issues with poor workmanship but would also put a lot of cowboy tilers out of business. Not that I am in favour of over regulation but a simple "do it right or pay for the failure, and if you dont know how to do it right dont flipping well do it in the first place" type rule would not go amiss.

cant change anythink sitting on the fence outside just think the need more input from working tilers

 

[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

£25 a job up to £5000 covered

 

[Dan]

That's not bad. The customer could buy that as an option perhaps? Or do you subscribe to it no matter what job once you're in you're in sort of thing?

I may be wrong but I'm still fairly sure the deal was that the customer took out the insurance against the tiler going bust, not insuring against bad/faulty workmanship.

 

[DHTiling]

The tiler takes out the insurance in case he went out of business within 6 yrs of doing said tiling project and if anything went wrong etc then the insurance covered said job to a certain value and for 6 yrs from completion.. if the tiler was still in business then he sorted the fault etc..

Do the job right in the first place i say and why i never used said insurance..
