WTIF Warranty

The WTIF Warranty Scheme is open to all full members of the Federation. It guarantees the work of the member for a period of twenty-five years. Each individual warranty covers a single building, or one elevation of a building (part-elevations are not covered due to the effect that ties in the untreated part may have on the treated work when they fail).

The warranty covers the replacement ties and any ancillary work included as part of the contract; for example repointing, brick reinforcement and the like. It covers material and workmanship.

The warranty is issued jointly by the member and by the Federation; in the event of a claim the policy indemnifies the member against the cost of reinstatement or the Federation if the member is no longer trading as a member of the federation.

The warranty further indemnifies the member against a claim for professional negligence, for example, in the choice of tie or in the advice given about the contract.

The WTIF carries annual Product Guarantee insurance which indemnifies the company and named installers in respect of liability arising under the guarantees issued.

The W.T.I.F Warranty is:

  • Independent of manufacturer or installer
  • Fully insurance backed
  • Covers all aspects of the work
  • Fully transferable to any new owner of the building


  • This guarantee indemnifies the customer for a period of for up to 25 years for up to a limit of £100,000. for costs of removal, repair, alteration, treatment of any product which fails to perform the function for which it was manufactured, designed, sold, supplied, installed, repaired, altered, dispatched, or delivered on behalf of the installer.

    The definition of the term product is to mean not only the wall tie itself, but also the workmanship of the installer.

    This guarantee is backed up by an annual product guarantee insurance policy which indemnifies the Federation Installer up to an aggregate limit of £100,000 per member company in respect of its liabilities under this guarantee. This insurance being arranged with first class security in the London Market.
