The Burnley Express and the SSB Law Victims Group are calling on the Government to deliver justice for homeowners and bring in new laws to protect residents in the future as ministers continue to roll out CWI schemes.

Our petition asks the Government to:

• Make it compulsory for installers to assess a property's suitability for CWI products on an individual basis, not a scheme basis.
• Create a new government department to regulate installers, surveyors, and extractors; for a government-approved RICS building surveyor to visit a property and thoroughly investigate it when CWI failure is suspected; and for government-approved extraction teams to conduct the remedial work.
• Take control of guarantee agencies, police CWI installers and ensure guarantees sufficiently cover any remedial work.
• Require all extractors by law to be TrustMark-approved, Chas-advanced, and Oscar Onsite-accredited.
• Hold directors and CEOs of guarantee agencies accountable for non-payment of guarantees.
