FENSA celebrates 16 years of serving installers and homeowners in 2018. The GGF Group company has been operating since April 2002.
Chris Beedel, director of membership, said: “It’s a fantastic testament to the thousands of installers who choose the FENSA brand to represent trust and quality installations to consumers. We strive to provide the best customer service to our members and homeowners and will continue to do so.”
Set up by the Glass and Glazing Federation, FENSA commenced operations following a request from Government to regulate the market for replacement doors and windows in England and Wales. The scheme now boasts almost 6,000 companies self-certifying their compliance under the Building Regulations without the requirement for additional inspections from Local Authority Building Control.
Chris continued: “FENSA is proud of its status as the largest and longest serving competent person scheme in the industry. It is also one of the most trusted brands in glazing. Over 1,000 companies who started using FENSA in 2002 are still using FENSA today and our average member retention rate is around 99% each year.”
Since 2002, FENSA says it has issued more than 12 million homeowner certificates and is now approaching the 13 millionth installation to be registered through its scheme. Plans are afoot to reward and celebrate the homeowner and installer of the 13 millionth installation and more will be revealed about this in the coming months.
Chris said: “Given that there are 23.5 million households in England and Wales, reaching 13 million registrations will mean at least half of all those households have used a FENSA member to install their windows and doors. This shows not only that FENSA members are trustworthy professional companies but also that homeowners recognise the value in using a FENSA member.”
