What is FENSA and Why Does it Matter?
FENSA (Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme) is a government-authorised scheme that monitors building regulation compliance for replacement windows and doors in England and Wales. When you choose a FENSA registered installer like Britannia Woodworking, you’re choosing peace of mind, professionalism, and protection.
Why Choose a FENSA Registered Installer?
As a FENSA registered company, we ensure all replacement windows and doors:
Comply with current building regulations
Are energy efficient
Are registered with your local council
Are backed by an Insurance-Backed Guarantee (IBG)
Include a FENSA certificate upon completion (vital if you sell your property)
No Fuss, No Paperwork Worries
When we install your windows or doors, you won’t need to contact Building Control or organise inspections—we handle it all for you. After the work is completed, you’ll receive your FENSA certificate as proof that your installation meets the required standards.
What’s the Difference Between a FENSA Certificate and a Guarantee?
Your FENSA certificate is proof that your installation complies with building regulations. Your product and installation guarantee, which we also provide, protects you against issues with materials or workmanship. Both are important, and we make sure you receive both.
