LOGO MISUSE WILL LEAD TO PROSECUTION
FENSA is strengthening its processes and committing more resources to identifying
misuse of the FENSA name and logo and the resultant misleading of homeowners.
This will lead to more naming and shaming of offenders and the eventual involvement
of Trading Standards to which offending installers will be referred for prosecution.
A recent successful prosecution,
with FENSA’s assistance, by
Trading Standards in north
London for FENSA logo misuse
resulted in a total cost to the
directors of over £7,000 in fines
and costs.
It is illegal for window and
door installers to claim they are
FENSA certified when they are
not. Displaying the FENSA logo
and using the FENSA name in
this way misleads homeowners.
FENSA will be undertaking its
own searches to identify misuse –
but would also appreciate the help
of the industry and consumers.
FENSA can be notified directly of

logo and name misuse (enquries@
fensa.org.uk or tel: [phone]
3700) or indirectly through www.
cowboystoppers.co.uk - a website
set up by FENSA exactly for this
purpose.
