Default Typical warranty length for floorboards/joists?

I've just finished a Council Grant job replacing some floor boards and
rotten joists.

I usually give a years warranty on any work, but as this is a thing
that should last 50+ years, what warranty would be reasonable for
such a job?

Thanks
Alan.


Alan,

Unless you are using materials that are guaranteed by the manufacturer for
"X" number of years (dry rot treatments etc), then one year is a sufficient
warranty period against faulty materials and defective workmanship (and
that's all you need to cover) - although as a 'selling point' you could
offer up to six years as a latent defect period (as used under SoGA) if you
are confident of your abilities and materials.
