GS Brown’s 2-Year Warranty
At GS Brown Construction, we are committed to maintaining our strong reputation for delivering high-quality homes. Our aftercare service will handle any unforeseen issues that may arise within the first two years after you purchase your new home. Six months after moving in, our team will contact you to check if there’s any maintenance that needs immediate attention. Prior to your move-in date, we will carry out a comprehensive inspection to ensure everything meets our high standards and should any issues come up after you settle in, we will be ready to address them promptly.
NHBC Buildmark Cover – Comprehensive Protection for Your Home
Every GS Brown home is protected by the NHBC Buildmark cover, offering long-term assurance against structural defects and other unforeseen issues. This comprehensive 10-year policy is designed specifically for newly built properties and provides confidence at every stage of ownership.
What Is NHBC Buildmark Cover?
The NHBC Buildmark is the UK’s leading warranty and insurance cover for new homes. Backed by the National House-Building Council, this policy safeguards homeowners from risks that can arise before and after the completion of their homes. With Buildmark, your investment is protected and your home meets rigorous construction standards
Benefits of NHBC Buildmark Cover
The NHBC Buildmark cover offers invaluable protection for your home, your investment is safeguarded through key benefits such as;
- Financial Security – Protection against significant costs, such as repairing structural damage or addressing contaminated land.

- Transferable Cover – If you sell your home, the remaining cover transfers to the next owner, maintaining the value of your property.
The Structure of the NHBC Cover

After the initial two years, the NHBC provides insurance coverage for the next eight years. This includes protection against structural defects should any have arisen during the construction of your home.
