NHBC claim

dexterwolf

Does anyone know what the cover limit for the NHBC is on a house nearly 5 years old. Cutting a long story short. We have an issue with the roof that needs fixing. The NHBC have said that if the claim is below 1200 then I will have to pay for it. Anything over they will pay for. My only concern is that they will just say it will cost £1000 so you have to sort it. Does anyone know what the amounts are for over the years for the minimum amount. I can't see it on any paperwork. Also if they say it will be £1000 but a roofer said it will be more than the amount where do I stand ?

NHBC don't do excesses, just minimum claims (ie if your claim is over the minimum they pay for the whole job and don't deduct any excess)


Check your paperwork to see what your minimum claim amount is. (It sounds like £1200 from your OP)

Yeah it is but what happens if they say it is £1000. And various roofers say that it is over the amount?. Is there anyway to appeal or say I have had 3 quotes and they come to more than you have said in your quote ?

Who gave you the £1000 quote?

Why don't you want them to do the job?
