Questions
What is a FENSA certificate and why do I need one?
A FENSA certificate proves your window or door installation complies with building regulations, is energy efficient, and registered with the local council. It's essential when selling your home.
How does FENSA protect homeowners?
FENSA ensures installations meet safety standards, provides insurance-backed guarantees, and handles council registrations. Our scheme offers dispute resolution support and verified installer assessments for consumer protection.
Can I check if an installer is FENSA approved?
Yes, use our online directory to verify installer credentials. Only approved installers can issue FENSA certificates, ensuring compliance with building regulations and energy efficiency standards.
