Auger launches drain work guarantee initiative

Drainshield UK is an initiative that has been launched to provide safeguards for homeowners and first time buyers.

Drainshield UK, devised by Auger, will grant householders an independent, stand alone, ten year guarantee on any work carried out on their drains.

The policy will be provided by MD Insurance, who is regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), and has provided warranties to more than GBP30 billion of developments throughout the UK and Ireland.

MD Insurance will act as the Scheme Administrators and will be underwritten by Liberty Insurance.

Previously any guarantee on drainage work fell under the Defects Liability Period, and lasted for only 12 months.

Property owners can now have peace of mind for a full decade on any drainage work conducted by Auger.
