CERTASS is a scheme that the Department for Communities and Local Government has approved for the last 15 years. The purpose of CERTASS certification for homeowners is to ensure that double-glazing installation firms comply with the relevant building regulations. Upon completion of the installation, we provide you with a Certass certificate that you must keep. This CERTASS certification is also essential should you come to sell your home.
In order to get approved as a CERTASS member, C&A Window Systems Ltd is suitably vetted and approved. Our processes, business standing and other factors ensure we only carry out the best service.
Why we choose CERTASS certification
One of the most important trust factors for you as a customer of C&A Window Systems is the provision of an insurance-backed guarantee for our work. This guarantee is there to support our own manufacturing and installation warranty.
CERTASS certification ensures your installation is compliant with the required Building Regulations without the installation being inspected by your local Building Control Officer. You save time, money and hassle as a result.
WHY YOU NEED CERTASS CERTIFICATION
CERTASS certification ensures there are no complications or surprises should you come to sell your home in the future. Conveyancing requires this certification. Do bear in mind only replacement windows or windows in new openings are covered. CERTASS certification is not required for repairs, adjustments or modifications to existing windows.
CERTASS vs FENSA – what’s the difference?
The other option for compliance is the FENSA route. CERTASS certification and the FENSA route both provide compliance. You may be more familiar with FENSA owing to heavier marketing carried out by the Glass and Glazing Federation and other fenestration bodies. FENSA came first but rest assured, they are two very similar ways of ensuring your window and door installation meets the required standards and conformance.
Your project needs to be certified by either FENSA or CERTASSS. This is the most important thing you need to be aware of before putting your home up for sale. We have chosen the CERTASS certification route.
