This directory does not confirm registration. Window and door installers self-certify their work against Building Regulations through a Competent Person Scheme — mainly FENSA or Certass — so check the company name or postcode (BN41 2FE) directly on the FENSA or Certass website before booking, and ask to see the certificate number.

Not here. This is a register-based directory, not a review site. Look at independent review platforms, ask the installer for recent local references, and confirm FENSA or Certass registration before any work starts.

Repair makes sense for a failed seal (misted double glazing), a worn handle or hinge, or a damaged lock on an otherwise sound frame — usually a straightforward swap. Replacement is the better value once frames are warped, draughty, rotten (on timber) or past roughly 20 to 25 years old, or when several units across the house have failed. Ask the installer to price both where it's borderline.

It's proof the window or door installation meets Building Regulations (thermal performance, safety glazing, ventilation) without a separate council building control sign-off. Without one, selling the property can mean paying for retrospective building control inspection or indemnity insurance, so keep the certificate with your house documents.

No. Companies appear in this directory because they are on the Companies House register under a window/joinery installation trade code. A listing is not vetting, endorsement, or a guarantee that the company is trading or FENSA/Certass registered.
