Good news for consumers as Lomax + Wood Limited celebrates achieving sought-after membership

Posted: 29 November 2018

Lomax + Wood, who are recognised as one of the UK’s leading timber window and door suppliers, are delighted to announce that it has been granted a Consumer Protection Association (CPA) membership licence.

The CPA is a national organisation that has been protecting consumers for over twenty years and is recognised as the number one organisation for protecting property owners when they make a major home improvement purchase.

The organisation was launched to combat the problems that arise when a company goes out of business, whilst carrying out home improvement work for a consumer. This would often leave consumers out of pocket, see them lose their deposit or left to deal with a product that develops a fault but for which no guarantee is in place because the company is no longer around.

But when purchasing from a CPA accredited firm, consumers can eliminate this risk by ensuring they apply for both the deposit and guarantee insurance.

Consumers also know that when purchasing from a CPA licenced member, they can protect their deposit payment and guarantee in the unlikely event of the installer entering liquidation or bankruptcy.

Only companies that can demonstrate best-practice; high-levels of craftsmanship; and a history of first class customer service are accepted to join the organisation, following a rigorous vetting process.

The CPA also asks consumers applying for work carried out by a CPA member to complete a survey and rate the company on a number of factors. This helps the CPA to evaluate the performance of the member, so that potential customers can have access to feedback as to how the company have performed in the past.

On being awarded membership, Chris Wood, MD Lomax + Wood, said: “We’re delighted to have become members of the CPA. This says a lot about our bespoke timber window and door company as only the best are afforded membership.”

Jeremy Brett Director of CPA comments: “Lomax + Wood have demonstrated that they are a quality company and will give their customers a first class service. We’re delighted to welcome them to the Consumer Protection Association. CPA membership makes it easy for the homeowner as they know they are buying into quality and that their money and livelihood is protected.
