Products registered properly for warranty protection. We'll create the online accounts, fill in all the forms, and make sure you've got proof everything's covered - because nobody has time for that.
The Registration Trap
You buy something expensive. There's a card in the box saying "Register within 30 days for warranty." You put it somewhere safe to do later. Three months pass. You forget about it completely.
Then it breaks. And you've got no warranty coverage.
💡 Pro tip: Manufacturers bank on people forgetting to register. Don't let them win - get it done while you're thinking about it.

🔧 DIY Tips
Want to handle product registration yourself? Here's how to do it properly:
🔧 What you'll need
- Email address (use the same one for everything)
- Receipt or proof of purchase
- Product serial number and model number
- About 10 minutes per item (some are slower)
📋 Finding the serial number
- Check the product itself - usually on the back or bottom
- White or silver sticker with barcode
- Look for "S/N:" or "Serial:" followed by letters and numbers
- Take a photo - you might need it again
✍️ Filling forms efficiently
- Use autofill if your browser offers it
- Keep details consistent (same address format, same email)
- Untick all marketing boxes unless you want emails
- Save confirmation emails in a folder called "Warranties"
- Screenshot or print the confirmation page
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Using different email addresses for different products (then forgetting which)
- Not keeping the confirmation emails
- Missing the registration deadline (check the card!)
- Registering but not saving the login details
💡 Pro trick: Create a simple spreadsheet or note on your phone:
Product | Brand | Serial Number | Registered? | Warranty Until
Washing Machine | Bosch | ABC123 | Yes | May 2027
Sounds nerdy but you'll thank yourself when something breaks.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
📦 Just moved house? Registering everything while you unpack is the smart move. You've got the receipts, the boxes, the packaging - do it all in one go before it gets shoved in a drawer and forgotten.
Extended warranties - worth it? Usually no, but I'll explain what they're offering honestly. Some are decent (cheap products that break often), most are overpriced insurance the manufacturer hopes you won't claim on. Your call.
Multiple items from house clearance? If you've inherited or bought a house full of stuff with no receipts, we can't create warranty cover, but we CAN register items for safety recalls and product updates. Still worth doing.
Older purchases? If you missed the 30-day window, try anyway - some manufacturers are flexible, especially if you've still got the receipt. Worst they can say is no, best case you get your warranty after all.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to register products?
Most warranties only kick in if you register within 30-90 days of purchase. Miss that window and you've got no comeback if it breaks. Also gets you recall notifications if there's a safety issue.
Can't I just ignore the registration?
You can, but you're throwing away free warranty cover. If a £400 washing machine breaks after 18 months, registration is the difference between a free repair and buying a new one. Worth the hassle.
What information will you need from me?
Your email address, the receipt or proof of purchase, and the product's serial number (usually on a sticker on the back or bottom). I'll handle the rest - creating accounts, filling forms, all that tedious stuff.
Will I get spam emails after registering?
Probably some marketing emails, but I untick every optional box by default. You'll get the warranty confirmation and maybe the odd product update, but I keep it minimal. You can always unsubscribe later.
How many items can you register in one visit?
As many as we can fit in the hour - usually 3-5 items depending on how complicated the registration forms are. Some manufacturers make it easy, others... not so much.
