FENSA, CERTASS and GGF Membership Explained
FENSA (Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme) and CERTASS are the two main competent person schemes for window and door replacement in England and Wales. Membership allows approved installers to self-certify that their work complies with Building Regulations, without the homeowner needing to apply to the local council. The Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) is the trade association for the glazing industry, and GGF membership indicates a company that subscribes to its code of conduct.
All window specialists in our Stretford directory are checked for active registration with at least one of these bodies, so your installation will be compliant and certificated.

How the Number and Size of Windows Affects Cost in Stretford
The total number of windows and doors being replaced is one of the most significant factors in the overall cost of a glazing project. Replacing a single window is proportionally more expensive per unit than replacing all windows in a property at once, as the installer can complete the work in a single visit and spread fixed costs such as survey time, access equipment and disposal across the whole job.
Window size also affects cost directly — larger openings require larger glass units and stronger frames, both of which cost more to manufacture and are heavier to handle. Bay windows and shaped or arched openings require bespoke manufacturing and are typically priced at a premium. Getting an accurate count and measurement before requesting quotes will help you compare proposals on a like-for-like basis.
Frequently Asked Questions — Guarantees, Deposits and Consumer Rights for Windows in Stretford
A comprehensive window installation should come with a manufacturer's warranty on the glass unit (typically 5–10 years against seal failure), a frame guarantee (often 10 years for uPVC, variable for aluminium and timber), a hardware guarantee and a workmanship guarantee from the installer covering the installation itself.
Companies operating under the Consumer Code for Home Improvements provide deposit and guarantee insurance, so your cover continues even if the installer ceases trading. Ask specifically whether the company's guarantee is backed by insurance before signing.
A deposit of 10–25% is typical for window orders where materials are custom manufactured. Never pay more than 25–30% upfront. The balance should be payable on satisfactory completion, not before. Confirm deposit protection before paying anything.
Raise the issue with the installer in writing, detailing the specific defects. If they fail to remedy the problem within a reasonable time, you can escalate to FENSA (for registered installers), the GGF or the relevant consumer code scheme. As a last resort, you have recourse through the courts.
Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, contracts signed at your home give you a 14-day cooling-off period, provided bespoke manufacturing has not begun. Check the contract for any clauses that attempt to waive this right — such clauses are likely unenforceable.
