Our products are available to home owners through a network of around 3500
tradesman located from the Scottish Highlands down to Cornwall.  Businesses are
able to offer our Deposit and Warranty Insurance when doing work within the
Home Improvement Industry.  There are two ways for this to be done.  The first is
by way of an offer leaflet which the tradesman provides to his customer who is
then free to contact HomePro Insurance directly to purchase their cover, and
the second is 'by way of business'.  By way of business is where our members
include Deposit and Warranty Insurance to the customer as part of the overall
cost.  Policies are activated when the customer submits our return slip
confirming that the works have been completed to a satisfactory level.
