Swift Handyman Ltd

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 (YO11 3HG) directly on the FENSA or Certass website before booking, and ask to see the certificate number.

The registered company name, registered office address, Companies House number and incorporation date, all taken from the public Companies House register. It does not include reviews, prices, staff details, or confirmation that the company is currently trading.

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.

uPVC frames typically carry a 10 year manufacturer or insurance-backed guarantee, and sealed glazed units are usually guaranteed separately for 5 to 10 years against misting. Register the guarantee after installation and keep the FENSA or Certass certificate — a buyer's solicitor will ask for it if you sell the property.

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.
