What guarantee can you give me?

Guarantees are only as good as the contractor; generally any type of guarantee in writing is normally in favour of the contractor. This is a matter of trust and various guarantees are available and one should try and get as much detail in writing. A reputable contractor will normally honour his warranty. With redecorations, only approved applicators can issue you with a suppliers’ guarantee or warranty which will be underwritten by that supplier of the coatings applied by the contractor. In the event of a warranty dispute one can normally approach the Master Builders Association to mediate in a disagreement or warranty claim.
