Introducing Ireland's first purpose-built furniture insurance solution

Warranty Expert says its Furniture+ offer is Ireland's first purpose-built furniture protection solution, combining comprehensive insurance coverage with exclusive access to expert repair through Walsh's Furniture Repair & Assembly. 

Built for the Irish market and led from Ireland, it is designed to protect what matters most – with expansion to Northern Ireland and the UK coming soon.

"In furniture retail today, offering extended cover is standard practice," says Warranty Expert. "But for the strategic retailer, a critical question emerges – are you providing customers with a robust, regulated insurance policy, or a less substantive protection plan?

"Unlike unregulated PoS protection plans, Furniture+ is a fully underwritten insurance policy that protects customers if a retailer or provider becomes insolvent and provides access to the Financial Services and Pensions Ombudsman – a level of consumer protection that current plans in the market do not offer. In a market accustomed to less, Furniture+ offers decidedly more."

At its heart lies Warranty Expert's partnership with Walsh's Furniture Repair & Assembly, "delivering master craftsmanship across Ireland". 

"When expert restoration can repair an item, that's our first choice," states the insurance specialist. "Where repair isn't possible, we facilitate replacement via the original retailer, ensuring the right outcome for every claim.

"With a dedicated, 'boots on the ground' team across Ireland, the claims experience is refreshingly human. No AI or redundant, outdated systems, just real people delivering personal, transparent resolutions. This is aftercare designed for living, protected with confidence.

"From accidental damage cover to an in-built inflation protector, Furniture+ bridges gaps left by manufacturer warranties. And with expansion to other markets soon, we're raising standards across the industry.

"For Irish furniture retailers ready to elevate their aftercare proposition, the conversation starts here. Contact [email protected] to discover how Furniture+ can transform your customer relationships."
