FAQs
An Installer I've been talking to says that you don't need FENSA for your windows to be approved.
This is correct - you can apply to the local Building Control Dept. for an independent inspection certificate. However this is normally costly (prices vary but are usually in the £60 - £110 range). Many reputable builders and joiners simply don't install enough windows & doors to feel they can justify the business expense of joining FENSA - however seeking Building Control Dept approval can become an additional cost & inconvienience for the homeowner. Any good Double Glazing Company or Installer should be registered with FENSA - if they're not ask why.
