If you’re a homeowner, you know the importance of choosing the right company for your window and door installations.

The decision becomes significantly easier when you opt for a FENSA approved company like Warwickshire Window Doctors. Our recent approval is more than just a badge; it’s a promise of quality and compliance that offers peace of mind to our customers. But what exactly is FENSA, and why should this approval matter to you?

What is FENSA?

FENSA stands for the Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme. Established by the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) and industry in response to Building Regulations for double glazing companies in England and Wales, FENSA is a government-authorised scheme that monitors building regulation compliance for replacement windows and doors.

The primary aim of FENSA is to ensure that these installations comply with building regulations, are energy efficient, and registered with local councils. This compliance is crucial, as non-conforming installations can lead to costly rectifications and affect your home’s energy efficiency and security.

What FENSA Means for Customers

For you, the customer, FENSA approval is a hallmark of trust. It signifies that Warwickshire Window Doctors is vetted and our installations meet the required standards. Here’s what that means for you:

1. Compliance with Building Regulations: FENSA approval confirms that our installations comply with building regulations. This is essential for the safety and legality of the work carried out on your property.
2. Energy Efficiency: FENSA-approved installations must meet a specified level of energy efficiency. This ensures that your new windows and doors will help to keep your home warm and reduce your energy bills.
3. Local Council Registration: All FENSA-approved installations are registered with the local council, which is a legal requirement. This saves you the hassle and cost of dealing with local authorities.
4. Insured Guarantee: Warwickshire Window Doctors provides an insurance-backed guarantee, which is a requirement of being FENSA-approved. This means that your installation is insured even if we cease trading.
5. Property Sale Requirement: When selling your property, you will need to show that any replacement window or door installations comply with building regulations. A FENSA certificate is your proof and can make the selling process smoother.

Asking for a FENSA Certificate

So, how can you ensure that your window or door installer meets building regulations? The answer is straightforward: ask for a FENSA certificate. It is the simplest way to ensure that the work carried out on your property is compliant, efficient, and recognised. Warwickshire Window Doctors provides a FENSA certificate with every applicable installation, offering you all the assurance you need.

What’s Covered by FENSA

FENSA covers the replacement of external windows, doors, roof windows, and roof lights in your home, provided they are against the relevant Building Regulations. It's important to note that the property must be sited on its original footprint, and the use and size of rooms must not be altered. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the property and ensuring that all changes are compliant and do not affect the building's structure or safety.

What’s Not Covered by FENSA

While FENSA covers a wide range of installations, there are exclusions. FENSA does not cover:

• The installation of windows and doors in new conservatories or porches.
• New build properties, new extensions, or any structural change to a property.
• Repairs where the frame is not included.
• Commercial property installations.

These exceptions are important to keep in mind when planning your home improvements. Warwickshire Window Doctors can guide you through the process, ensuring that you understand what is covered and what is not.
