Complaints Handling

Depending on the nature of the complaint, CIGA will initially direct this to the CIGA member company involved to give them the opportunity to rectify the situation, or, where the member is no longer trading to the supplying System Designer.

The installer or system designer as the case may be will then investigate and report their findings to CIGA within one month, detailing findings from the inspection, digital images if necessary, conclusion and recommendations.

Where remedial works are recommended then these will be arranged by the Installer, System Supplier of CIGA as appropriate and regular updates will be provided.

Where the installer has been unable to resolve a complaint to the customer’s satisfaction a CIGA Technical Inspector may investigate, report findings and offer a conclusion together with any advice to the customer.

Redress

In the event of complaints that involve workmanship or materials then these are covered by the independent CIGA 25 Year Guarantee that is provided for all CIGA installations. Details on how to submit a claim under the Guarantee are contained within the Guarantee Certificate.
