FENESTRATION SELF-ASSESSMENT SCHEME – FENSA BACKED BY INSURED GUARANTEES
FENSA – The UK’s Trusted Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme
In April 2002, FENSA (Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme) was established as a government-approved program to oversee building regulation compliance for replacement windows and doors in England and Wales. It was founded by a group of like-minded installation companies from the Glass and Glazing Association, with a mission to enhance the quality of window and door replacements by professionalizing installers through The Competent Person Scheme, and safeguarding homeowners.
Over the past two decades, FENSA has grown rapidly, covering around 50% of all homes in Britain between 2002 and 2018. This is because FENSA-approved installers were able to distribute roughly 13 million certificates to homes across the UK, ensuring that homeowners receive the best service possible.
SO, HOW DOES IT WORK?

WHAT IS A FENSA CERTIFICATE?
Understanding FENSA Certificates: What They Are and Why You Need Them
If you’ve recently replaced your windows or doors with a registered tradesperson, such as Formula One Range, you may have heard of FENSA certificates. Essentially, these certificates are issued to homeowners once their installer has notified the local authority of the replacement work. This used to be a legal requirement for homeowners to do themselves, but now it’s the installer’s responsibility.
Once you receive your FENSA certificate, it’s important to hold onto it as proof of the building upgrade. If you decide to sell your home, the certificate stays with the property, giving potential buyers peace of mind that the work has been done correctly.
But what does FENSA really represent? For homeowners, it’s a mark of quality that ensures a job done right. Installations are insured by the installer and are certified by a government-approved body, eliminating the need for costly building inspector visits. FENSA’s twenty years of government-approved certification has gained a reputation for quality and trust, so when you choose a certified installer like Formula One Range, you can be confident that the work meets local authority building regulations and is energy-efficient.

SO, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CHOOSE AN INSTALLER WITHOUT ACCREDITATION?
Why It’s Important to Choose a FENSA-Registered Window and Door Installer
Picture this: You received a recommendation from your neighbour for an installer to replace your windows. The installer does an excellent job and you’re pleased with the outcome. But, you forget to pay the fee to your local authority and get a building inspector to check and register your new installation. Fast forward a year or two when you decide to sell your home. The lack of compliance certificates for your window and door installation is discovered by the buyer’s lawyer, leading to a hefty fine for non-compliance. Not only that, but you also realize that your home is not energy efficient and has been costing you extra money to heat all this time. To avoid this headache, choose a window and door installation service with the FENSA logo. This guarantees that the job is done correctly by well-trained and assessed professionals, protected by the FENSA promise.
