Fensalogo

You can be assured that an installation by Crittall Windows Ltd meets the UK Government Building Regulations.

Crittall Windows Ltd is registered with FENSA – the most successful of all competent person schemes in the UK, across all industries.

FENSA stands for the Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme. It has been set up by the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF), and other industry bodies, with government approval, in response to the changes to the building regulations for England and Wales

From 1 April 2002, all replacement glazing in dwellings came within the scope of the Building Regulations. From that time, anyone who installs replacement windows or doors has to comply with improved thermal performance standards.

FENSA enables companies that install replacement windows and doors to self-certify compliance with Building Regulations.

When having their windows and doors replaced, homeowners must ensure that they get a certificate from Local Authority Building Control, or have the work completed by a FENSA registered company.
