If you’re planning to get your glazed doors and windows replaced, you have to appoint experts. Assigning the job to a random glass fixer will not help you in any particular manner. Competent and experienced personnel will complete the job without fail. To handle glazed doors and windows, you must abide by the building regulations. However, finding a competent installer for glazed doors and windows can be difficult. How would you assess the competence level of the installer?
Reviews and references might be helpful, but if the installer is certified, you can trust them blindly without any further ado. A FENSA certified installer is a good one and can help you with all types of glazing services. Most of the glazing companies in Shropshire focus on hiring FENSA certified installers to get the best installation services.
To know more about the FENSA certification, read on.
What is a FENSA certificate?
FENSA or Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme is the UK authorised certification provided to the trained installers engaged in glazing services. This scheme was set up by the Glass and Glazing Federation and was launched in the year 2002. To get FENSA certification, the installers are required to pass an assessment test that will help determine their installer proficiency. A FENSA certified installer generally has the required proficiency for installing glazed doors and windows as per the building regulations and instructions. Thus hiring them is a safer option.
What is covered and not covered in FENSA certification?
On the official website of FENSA, you’ll get a comprehensive list of furniture items and house parts covered under FENSA. The certification under FENSA covers the installation and replacement of external doors, windows, roofs, lights and glass doors. However, the condition states that these parts of the house will fall under FENSA provided that there has been no alteration in these parts by any unapproved expert.
The FENSA certification does not cover the extensions of the house. Hence, if you need a FENSA certified installer for the porch, loft, shed or caravans, then there’s no guarantee that these things will be covered under the certifications. Thus you can easily hire a local installer to fix the glass parts of these portions of the house.
