Some of our members are in trade categories that are not covered by this guarantee, but that doesn’t mean they are any less great. This is mostly because they are undertaking work that is unlikely to last for 12 months, e.g. maintenance work like gardening and cleaning. Other eligibility criteria and T&Cs apply.
