Frequently Asked Questions, FENSA and Certification in Gatehouse of Fleet
FENSA is a government-authorised competent person scheme that allows registered window installers to self-certify that their work complies with Building Regulations. This means you receive a compliance certificate without needing to separately notify the local council.
The work must be inspected and certified by your local authority building control department, at additional cost and delay to you. Uncertified window replacement can cause problems when you sell or remortgage.
FENSA registered installers submit installation details to FENSA within 30 days of completion. Your certificate is then posted to you directly from FENSA, not the installer. Keep it with your property documents.
CERTASS is an alternative government-authorised competent person scheme for window and door installers. It performs the same self-certification function as FENSA. Both are equally valid for Building Regulations compliance purposes.
In England and Wales, replacing a window with one of a different specification (e.g. upgrading to double glazing) must comply with Building Regulations and should be certified. Like-for-like replacement in the same opening with equivalent thermal performance still requires notification or self-certification.
