Frequently Asked Questions

Are our chemical Toxic?

No. Our staff is trained in the safe use, handling and disposal of chemicals, work to approved codes of practice and use the safest chemicals available on the market. Additionally, with the modern micro-emulsion the Health and Safety Executive approves re-entry time after one hour. The beneficial environmental impact of the new products should be emphasised. Potentially dangerous TBTO etc has now been replaced with mammalian safe low toxicity permethrin at 0.02% (common flea powder which you rub on your pets is 1%).

What guarantees do you offer?

Most contractors issue 30 year guarantees but on average 70% of them go out of business within 20 years. Lifecote has been trading for 30 years. We have issued 5000 guarantees to date. We offer an insurance backed facility on our guarantees. Lifecote Ltd issues a 30 year guarantee for our entire service range.

Most other companies in the UK rely on a trade association or a chemical company whom they actually buy their chemical from to supply the guarantees. If they go out of business the guarantee in most cases is void. So buyers beware, many companies are here one minute gone the next.

You may place an order with Lifecote Ltd with the peace of mind that all guarantees will be honoured for the duration of the guarantee term.

How do we know if the guarantee offered has any worth?

Before accepting a long-term guarantee other than Lifecote Ltd should insist the contractor produces the following, relating to the guarantee he is offering:

• An approval certificate of insurance backed facility
• Proof of trading term
• Details of their contingency reserve relating to guarantees
• Declaration of the amount of claims they have paid out during the last 3 years
• Their VAT registration number
• Their company registration number
