FENSA
Fensa registration
FENSA is the Fenestration Self Assessment Scheme. When you install new windows, doors or roof lights for your home, you are required to make sure that the replacements comply with current thermal performance standards and Building Regulations. This means that you need to get a certificate stating that the windows are compliant. This certificate must be issued by a Competent Person scheme, and FENSA is the most common authority for this
Certified Compliance
When we have completed the installation, we will register the installation with Fensa, who will send you out a Compliance Certificate to prove that the work complies with building regulations. You should keep this certificate because you will need it if you decide to sell your property.
Insurance Backed Guarantee Scheme (compliant with Fensa)
HC are a member of the GGFi Insurance Backed Guarantee Scheme in compliance with FENSA and are compliant and will automatically provide their customers with an IBG 10 years insurance backed guarantee on completion of all replacement window and door installations.
NICEIC
Safety and competence
Contractors registered by NICEIC are assessed on a regular basis to ensure that they are competent and capable of meeting the relevant technical and safety standards, codes of practice and rules of the Schemes they are registered to.
