HOMEOWNERS TO GET THEIR
FENSA CERTIFICATES FASTER
» » FENSA, THE UK’S LARGEST
and longest established Competent
Person Scheme, issues FENSA
Building Regulations certificates
for replacement windows and
doors that have been installed since
1st April 2002.
A FENSA certificate verifies that
an installation has been carried out
by a FENSA-registered installer,
and consequently that it complies
with building regulations. As
well as providing the homeowner
with peace of mind about their
installation, the certificate will be
a necessity if they wish to sell their
property.
Now homeowners and
installers are set to benefit from an
accelerated certification system.
Acting on feedback from FENSA
members as well as their customers,
FENSA will soon introduce a new
process that streamlines certificate
dispatch times and gets them in
homeowners’ hands faster.
As a result, FENSA expects to
see a reduction in the number
of homeowners asking installers
for their certificate, saving its
members time on administration.
Homeowners will also receive their
FENSA certificates more than
50% faster than they currently
do, giving them evidence of
compliance for their installations
at minimum delay and making life
easier for those wishing to sell their
properties.
