The CORGI Fenestration Installer Scheme comprises : -
The CORGI Fenestration Quality Mark : registered installers will have passed a rigorous audit process . CORGI Fenestration does not add another level of red tape – but purely assesses existing management processes , quality of installation work , customer care and qualifications of staff . Once registered installers will be able to use the CORGI Fenestration name across their business .
Notification & Self-Certification : a web-based service for all installation jobs . It covers windows and doors , replacement and new build , across domestic and commercial premises and extends to a raft of fenestration products ranging from conservatories to guttering .
|
Building Regulations self-certification is being offered in partnership with STROMA Certification Ltd and includes the required consumer financial protection . Homeowners will receive a CORGI Fenestration branded installation certificate .
CORGI Fenestration RateYourInstallation™ : all consumers will be invited to rate their installation for inclusion in a ‘ TripAdvisor ’ type consumer ratings service run by CORGI Fenestration . In due course this will allow homeowners to choose installers independently rated by other satisfied customers . This is another valuable installer marketing tool .
CORGI Fenestration Skills Card : CORGI Fenestration recognises only the best in glazing sector qualifications and all registered installers must employ
|
qualified staff . Installers will be encouraged to move to a fully carded workforce carrying this Skills Card . These cards are linked to an online Skills Register which allows homeowners to check who they are letting into their homes and how qualified they are . Only glazing sector NVQs assessed and approved by the GQA , the industry ’ s leading qualifications provider , are recognised .
Risked Based Inspection Rate : as CORGI Fenestration registered installers are subject to at least an annual business audit and satisfy the requirements of best practice they may undergo fewer installation inspections . This lower inspection rate is calculated by CORGI Fenestration ’ s proprietary risk assessment system – the Quality Standards Indicator™ . As a result , an installers total costs may
|
be lower than through existing schemes .
Customer Care Excellence : CORGI Fenestration is committed to providing all registered businesses with the best in customer care . We will practice what we preach .
“ We are not asking installers to do anything extra to become COR- GI Fenestration registered . We are not asking them to add to their bureaucratic burden ,” says CORGI Fenestration CEO Chris Mayne . “ We assess and recognise existing best practice procedures – however achieved and recorded .”
“ Installers need to be committed to be the best and demonstrate they are achieving it to register with CORGI Fenestration ,” Mayne added . “ It ’ s not for everyone . If a business is just about satisfying minimum requirements across
|
management , regulations and qualifications then CORGI Fenestration is not for them .”
Prices : Annual registration fee £ 200 ; Audit fee £ 600 ; Notification fee £ 15 per installation .
Note : the notification fee is all inclusive so there are no additional insurance costs to pay . All fees are ex VAT .
“ Up till now there has not been a widely recognised quality mark – let alone a name known by consumers - that has allowed the most professional , excellence focussed companies in our industry to set themselves apart from the pack ,” Chris concluded . “ There is now !”
