ICW signs strategic partnership with FMB

ICW has signed a partnership with Federation of Master Builders Insurance (FMBI) to offer 10-year new home warranties to its members.

Under the partnership, FMB members will be able to take advantage of ICW’s bespoke residential warranties for housing developments of all sizes, backed by its industry-leading customer service and A-rated insurer.

The warranties are approved by all major lenders thanks to ICW’s proven track record as one of the largest suppliers of home warranties to the UK construction and development sector. The ICW Consumer Code for New Homes is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute, which supports builders to deliver high standards of service throughout the client’s home buying journey.

As well as residential warranties, ICW also offers a warranty for social housing schemes, in addition to a commercial warranty which can be adapted for either 10 or 12 year cover.

ICW also offers building control services though ICW Building Control, which is a Registered Building Control Approver in England and Wales and is regulated by the Building Safety Regulator

Andrew Spratt, Managing Director of ICW Insurance Services, welcomed the partnership.

He said: “We are excited to be working with FMBI to provide its members with our industry-leading building warranties. Our bespoke approach and focus on exceptional service ensures builders and homeowners alike have the peace of mind they deserve.”
