When a contractor completes a new installation or indeed completes a refurbishment (e.g reduces compaction of sand on an artificial turf court ) he should supply a guarantee for the work completed. The guarantees should clearly specify what is covered, for how long its covered and what the remedial action will be.

 

In Ireland we have been informed by clubs that Guarantees tend to be 5-7 years duration for new courts or surfaces and 1-2 years for refurbishment

 

If the Contractor is relatively new it may be necessary for him to provide a bond to cover the Guarantee.
