CPA Peace Of Mind

 

1st For Kitchens is a registered member of The Consumer Protection Association which is an independent body offering a range of services designed to offer the purchaser of home improvements valuable protection.

 

The CPA is not tied to any particular trade, therefore their Protection Schemes can apply to a wide range of home improvements.

 

CPA offer 2 types of cover when purchasing a fitted kitchen from us:-
1. Deposit Indemnity is insurance for the deposit you pay to secure the work to be carried out on your home. This insurance covers a deposit of up to 25% of the agreed price with the company or £10,000, which ever is the lesser. The Deposit Indemnity covers you for up to 90 days from when the agreement is signed. An example of this is if you have paid a deposit to a company who then ceases to trade due to liquidation or bankruptcy, your deposit is either refunded to you in full, or the work is completed by another company at the balance agreed price.

2. An Insurance Backed Guarantee is valuable protection in the unlikely event of the CPA member ceasing to trade, due to liquidation or bankruptcy. The guarantee offered by the installing company is valid the whole time they are trading and so any defects should be corrected by them.

If, due to liquidation or bankruptcy, the company no longer exists, faults appearing after they cease to trade will be covered by the Insurance Backed Guarantee. Depending on the nature of the work undertaken, the Insurance Backed Guarantee is available for a period of up to 10 years and is backed by an authorised Insurer.
