Warranty Expectation

[Ookysoft]

What kind of warranty should be expected on a newly laid patio?

I see some traders suggesting 4 year even.

A warranty is a guarantee and therefore only as good as its terms conditions and exclusions. So a long guarantee that's cut down may be worthless compared to 2 year or even 12 month guarantee that covers a wider range of things.

Look at the meaning Fit for purpose
Trading standards like this meaning when consumers have problems/ issues with goods or workmanship.

Yes, fit for purpose is a good tool. Yes, there is no paper warranty on this project - complicated, but other attachments I have will act as leverage if required.

I can see from the work done, that it'll have to be re-laid in 12 months. Wanted an idea when it comes to arguing his best option to fix now instead of later. I too have seen as much as 4 years. Though at least 12 months is expected, was looking for the 'norm', which may well be that 12 months.

Thanks folks!
