Additional Information About the NAPIT Work Quality Guarantee
1. What “Non-Compliant Work” Means
Refers to work that does not meet UK Building Regulations (e.g., BS 7671 wiring regulations).
The guarantee only applies to installations done by a NAPIT-registered installer at the time the work was carried out.
2. Applies to Dwellings (Not Commercial by Default)
The standard guarantee applies to domestic properties (homes/flats).
For business/commercial installs, confirm if extended coverage is offered—some schemes or insurers may offer alternatives.
3. Building Regulations Compliance Certificate (BRCC) Is Essential
Customers must receive this certificate to validate the guarantee.
Your installer should submit the job notification to NAPIT promptly, which triggers the BRCC.
Without the BRCC, the guarantee cannot be activated—so always confirm the certificate has been issued.
4. Customers Can Verify NAPIT Registration
Encourage transparency by inviting customers to search for your installer on:

5. Dispute Resolution Path Exists
If a customer is unhappy with an installation and the installer is unavailable or unwilling to fix the issue, NAPIT offers a process to investigate and resolve the complaint.
If the work is found to be non-compliant, rectification work will be arranged under the guarantee.
