What is FMB Masterbond?

The FMB (Federation of Master Builders) is a trade association established over 60 years ago to protect the interests of small and medium-sized building firms – today it is the largest trade association in the UK building industry.  We are MasterBond members and can give you the MasterBond Warranty.

Why Choose a MasterBond Warranty?

MasterBond was one of the first and is the largest scheme to be part of TrustMark.

TrustMark is a government endorsed scheme which promotes high quality standards of workmanship.

All MasterBond builders must:

• Have a minimum three year trading history.
• Have their work inspected by an independent assessor every 3 years. All new members will be inspected prior to their membership acceptance by the NRWB. This is the only scheme in the UK that inspects building companies in this manner.
• Builders who wish to join the scheme have to provide 6 client references including a professional reference from which at least 3 are confirmed by our Membership Department.
• Have passed independent financial checks.
• Have met with local FMB Branch approval.
• Have public and employer liability insurance.
• Have no un-discharged bankruptcies or relevant and outstanding County Court Judgments against company directors at the time of application.
• Are VAT registered if applicable.
• Have passed credit checks, public record and director checks.
• Have confirmed their commitment to the FMB and TrustMark’s Code of Practice
