ECA Guarantee of Works Scheme

The ECA Guarantee of Works provides a free benefit to the clients of ECA Members. If, once completed, electrotechnical works covered are discovered to be non-compliant with relevant electrotechnical technical standards, the electrotechnical works can be reinstated to be compliant with the relevant electrotechnical standards.

The ECA Guarantee of Works Scheme automatically applies to all Members’ work for 2 years and, subject to its terms and conditions, may remove the need to enter into an insurance-backed ‘warranty’ contract.  

The Guarantee of Works Scheme is Part P and compliant with TrustMark for those elements of work for which ECA has TrustMark accreditation.

Features of the ECA Guarantee – which is FREE and AUTOMATICALLY APPLICABLE for 2 years

  • Guarantees the technical compliance of electrotechnical materials and work carried out for a price between £500-£50,000 in United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
  • Electrotechnical work covers lighting and electrical wiring equipment, installations and all kinds of apparatus for the generation, transmission, utilisation or storage of electricity.

  • These are electrotechnical works within Part P of the Building Regulations, where the client is required to have approval/sign-off by building control. Where the ECA Member self-certifies through NICEIC, it will get a substantial discount due to the ECA Guarantee of Works.

  • Covers ONLY remediation of defective electrotechnical work to the required technical standards.

For further limitations and exclusions read the terms and conditions of ECA’s Guarantee of Works thoroughly.

If the ECA Guarantee of Works is registered with ECA cover extends by a further 4 years to 6 yrs after completion (date of certificated compliance).

Cover is capped at £100,000 per customer per calendar year.

ECA’s Guarantee only covers electrotechnical works.
