Guardsman - Upholstery InformationGuardsman LogoGuardsman Warranty

Buying new furniture is an investment that you will want to stay looking good for years to come. Little accidents such as spills, rips and scratches can permanently spoil your furniture. Even the protective treatment applied to upholstery fabrics can only give a measure of protection from accidents. Taking out the new improved 5 year Guardsman Protection Plan on your new furniture means you can sit back and relax, safe in the knowledge that your furniture is protected against those little mishaps spoiling your furniture.

How the plan works

The Guardsman Protection Plan can offer you peace of mind for your new cabinet, fabrics or leather furniture and is available from your Laura Ashley store, by phone and online.

  • Ask or look out for the Guardsman 5 year Protection Plan when purchasing your new furniture. Plans available are:
    1. Fabricgard: for fabric upholstered furniture
    2. Leathergard: for leather upholstered furniture
    3. Furnituregard: for cabinet and wooden furniture
  • The 5-year Guardsman Protection Plan works as soon as your new furniture is delivered to your home. Your new upholstery furniture will arrive having been treated with the anti-stain protector.
  • If damage occurs during the 5-year period simply call the Guardsman claims number for advice on how to deal with the situation.
  • If necessary, a furniture care professional will be sent to your home to rectify the problem, and if the problem cannot be rectified then Guardsman will replace the affected area.
