Find out what HIPs
can do for you

Life can be unpredictable.
A company may cease trading without warning leaving a consumer with a worthless guarantee. Reasons for ceasing to trade include bankruptcy, compulsory or voluntary liquidation, insolvency, death or retirement of all the principals.

Whatever happens, an Insurance Backed Guarantee sets out to honour the terms of the guarantee, originally issued by the contractor.

From a company you can trust
With many years experience HIP is market leading provider of guarantee insurance and deposit protection. As a leader in helping the home improvement industry raise its standards, HIP introduced an Approved Contractor Member Scheme. Each contractor applying for membership is checked on their qualifications, expertise, financial security and track record of delivering the best service to customers.

Highest level of protection
Authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, HIP Deposit & Guarantee Insurance provides the highest levels of protection for a number of home improvement products:

• Protection up to 10 years
• No need to keep renewing, it is continuous cover
• All HIP insurance is covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS)
• Fully transferable to the new home owner (subject to the T&C’s of the original installers guarantees)

Beware, not all IBGs are the same
There are many providers offering Insurance Backed Guarantees, however not all of them are specialists in the home improvement industry. Their small print may reveal unfamiliar jargon or hidden clauses that do not offer comprehensive protection.

Honest, straight forward policies
HIP takes the jargon away, ensuring the content of the insurance is straightforward and clear to both the policy holders and HIP Approved Contractors.
