Section Bonds

RS Bonds are the only company in the UK that specialise solely and exclusively in the procurement of road and sewer bonds, on behalf of housebuilders.

As specialists in the agreements to which these section bonds are required, we provide a unique insight and perspective to both the surety provider and the developer.

Working specifically with developers, we use our extensive technical expertise, local authority and water company relations combined with established contacts within the surety market, to help satisfy all site infrastructure bond requirements.

Road and sewer bonds differ from any other type of surety, which is why RS Bonds was called to market by housebuilders who needed a trusted and leading authority and advisory specialist in road and sewer bonds.

With over 50 years’ combined experience in road and sewer bonds, our services, expertise and therefore advice we can offer, are unmatched anywhere in the UK.
