guarantee after liquidation

[davidp]

if a window company goes into liquidation does the guarantee for the doors and window still stand

[Buenchico]

A guarantee from any limited company will cease to be valid when the firm goes bust because there is no legal body for the customer to pursue their claim against. (You can't take legal action against a firm which doesn't exist. The directors of a failed limited company are not liable for the debts or obligations of that company, so you can't force them to honour the guarantee).

The only exception is when the guarantee is backed by insurance. In which case, the insurers should honour the terms of the guarantee if the firm goes bust.

Also, some trade bodies guarantee members' workmanship in case of default or ceasing to trade.
The best known is the NHBC but there are others- members usually show the Body's logo on letterheads etc.

If you bought the windows with a credit card or loan then the CC company /lender is responsible for honouring the guarantee.
