Traditional builders offer workanship warranties for limited periods of time (most commonly 12 Months) and often end up charging for call-backs.
Bolster's transparent model and highly-trained workforce delivers the highest quality of workmanship in accordance with our documented Quality Standards. Offering you a lifetime workmanship warranty, free of charge, for the duration of your life in the property is a natural extension of this.
