Great service obtaining a retrospective Warranty!

We needed to get a retrospective warranty on our self build home. Circumstances and Covid meant that we had been living in our home for some time without a 10 year warranty. I contacted Protek and explained that I had ,in fact ,paid for the warranty but had not sent in all the documentation. Natalie Walkling became my "go-to" contact and she patiently explained what I needed to do and which certificates to send in. She organised an independent survey for us and finally today we received the Certificate! The process was sometimes baffling but ,to be fair, only because this was something I am not used to on a day to day basis! So a great service and handled professionally and courteously . Thanks Natalie and Protek!

Useless inspector

We have done several self builds and every time we had the same building inspector. He used to be a joiner / builder in the past. Both houses were rejected for the insurance as they were built to Scottish standards and the inspector doesn't know anything regarding Scottish building standards. Absolute joke. Don't use protek. Never again.

Great Customer Service

Despite warranties and insurances being a necessity and not an exciting expenditure. All the guys at Protek were helpful and knowledgeable. When small adjustments had to be made they were patient and understanding. I did especially appreciate Ely's help. When she found out the urgency of the adjustment that had to be made, she prioritised my request and within a few hours, I had received the amended documents. Great customer service!

Self Build Warranty

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Protek.
Jack has been outstanding in his level of service and professionalism.
It has not been an easy journey being the 1st Self Build we have built with various issues and unknowns but the advice and support from Protek ( from both Jack and Holly) have guided me through the process.
Thank you again Jack for your continued support and we got there in the end!
If you are looking for a New Build Warranty these are the guys to contact

Self Build cover

I had a build which, due to various issued, slipped and needed last minute insurance cover. Being a self builder not familiar with certain aspects, I was impressed and thankful for all the Work Protek provided to ensure I stayed insured and compliant.

Protek were really efficient at…Site Insurance

Protek were really efficient at arranging the site insurance I needed for a large renovation project on an end of terrace house which required a party wall award.
They were the only company out of three that I approached that were prepared to go through the application on the phone which was extremely helpful. Joe Boss that I dealt with was brilliant and obtained a good value quote for me very quickly and explained what I needed to do, which made the whole procedure very easy to achieve. I also spoke to three of his colleagues on the phone and each were also very knowledgeable and helpful. I would highly recommend Protek for site insurance.

Protek if you want a headache and extra cost use them.

Protek throughout the build were a nightmare, electing not to insure things that were passed by building control, attempting to exclude flat roof sections for a variety of reasons which were covered. A commercial section of the build was included with no guidance at the depth. Getting responses from them has taken days, if not weeks, and once received they are copy paste jobs. Absolute disgrace will never use again. Tried several times for extra inspections at extra cost.

Being a complete novice with regards to…

Being a complete novice with regards to the self build process I relied heavily on Proteks customer support team particularly Felicity who was in one word amazing, She went above and beyond to guide me through the process of obtaining the warranty with regards to inspections and addressing any defects that arose, and was always avaiable to help me navigate the process. I would not consider using any other company if ever I repeat the self build process again for a warranty or site insurance .

I wish I'd gone elsewhere for my warranty insurance!

During my 3-year build, everything seemed smooth and efficient. What I didn't know was that the inspector had flagged "deficiencies", which he didn't tell me about at the time but went onto Protek's log. Reports were apparently sent to me, but were sent to the wrong email address! They didn't notice the bounce-backs from that email address, nor did anyone raise concerns about long-outstanding deficiencies - right until the end, when the build was completely finished. I then had to try to prove that bolts had been tightened on the steel frame, more than 2 years ago. This has taken a huge amount of my time. Eventually they accepted the photos that I could provide, but honestly, I wish I'd gone to another warranty provider.

Retrospective Insurance

I had the pleasure and luck of dealing with Felicity who helped me out of a very difficult situation and from start to finish she was a superstar who I can’t recommend highly enough. I was under a very tight timescale and she went above and beyond to make sure I had everything in place! Thank you 😊

Retrospective warranty for Barn Conversion

We needed a retrospective warranty for our barn conversion in a very short space of time, and Protek pulled out all the stops. The whole process, from our first contact with them to the provision of the warranty took only three weeks. Jack and Patrick in particular were very helpful in guiding us through the process, and keeping us up to date with developments.
