NHBC Registered Builder

CB Homes Ltd is an A1 registered member of the National House Building Council (NHBC). Membership is voluntary, but the NHBC carries out commercial and technical assessments of every applicant prior to confirming the status of Registered Builder.

As a Registered Builder we agree to comply with their regulations and ongoing assessments. These are conducted at key stages throughout the building process and we cannot hand over a home until the NHBC has carried out their final inspection. The new home owner will receive a NHBC certificate to prove that this has happened.

Of course, we also comply with Council Building regulations; which means that every one of our homes has been approved twice: once by the NHBC and once by the local Council.

For more detailed information please see the NHBC website on: www.nhbc.co.uk

NHBC Buildmark Warranty

Every one of our homes is covered by the NHBC 10-Year Buildmark Warranty.

This Warranty is an insurance policy, protecting the home owner against NHBC specified risks. However, it does not, for example, cover general wear & tear or damage from failure to maintain the property.

The Buildmark Warranty is not a legal requirement, but valued by all mortgage lenders because it proves that the property has been built to very high construction standards. These standards take Building Regulations, British Standards and the NHBC’s own records of defects into account.

The Warranty is always applied and paid for by CB Homes and is part of the purchase contract.

For more detailed information please go to the NHBC website on: www.nhbc.co.uk

FMB Membership

CB Homes is a member of the Federation of Masterbuilders (FMB). This trade organisation for small and medium-sized UK building firms promotes professionalism and high quality workmanship. Only builders who can prove their skills and good business standing are accepted as members.

To become a member we had to, for example, allow the FMB to collect references about us and had to prove that sufficient public liability and employer’s liability insurances are in place.

We are registered to offer the FMB’s Master Bond Warranty. Please talk to us if you are interested in this.

You can find further information on the FMB website: www.fmb.org.uk

FMB Trust Mark

The Trust Mark Scheme is part of the Government’s effort to promote high standards in the building trade. Any builder or trader, accepted under this scheme, has proven to be reputable and willing to comply with the high standards set by the Government and Council bodies

The FMB is the first trade body to be endorsed by the Government as an Approved Scheme Operator and to receive the Trust Mark licence.
