Installers & credentials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
What’s a FENSA-registered fitter, and why does it matter?<\/strong><\/summary>

FENSA (Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme) is the UK’s leading certification for replacement window installers. A FENSA certificate proves your install meets building regulations \u2014 essential if you sell your house. It also comes with an insurance-backed warranty, so you’re protected if the installer goes out of business.<\/p><\/details>\n\n\n\n

How do I verify an installer’s credentials?<\/strong><\/summary>

All installers in our network are verified at sign-up. You can independently check any installer’s FENSA registration at fensa.org.uk<\/a> or Certass at certass.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p><\/details>\n\n\n\n

What happens if an installer does poor work?<\/strong><\/summary>

FENSA-registered installers provide an insurance-backed warranty. If something goes wrong, you’re covered \u2014 and you have a formal complaints route via FENSA’s dispute resolution process. Let us know too and we’ll remove any installer who doesn’t meet our standards.<\/p><\/details>\n\n\n\n

Eligibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I’m a tenant \u2014 can I still get quotes?<\/strong><\/summary>

Quotes require homeowner consent because installers need to survey the property. If you’re a tenant, share Findfitter with your landlord \u2014 they can get quotes through us.<\/p><\/details>\n\n\n\n

I’m just researching \u2014 should I still submit?<\/strong><\/summary>
