I am replacing my Front door, sliding patio door and large window. I would like to if I can sell old door and window?..Can it be sold for a few quid?
Would like to know if it is worth having it or allowed it to be taken back by the company!

    Yes of course you can, there are a fair few of them for sale on eBay, just ask the installers to take care when removing them.

    When someone in the family built an extension, they bought good second hand double glazed units and door. Then made the openings to fit.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    Could be difficult if they're not FENSA approved.
    This is an open forum, anyone can post and I just did !

    Not the OP's problem, that would be down to the buyer who of course may be FENSA approved.

    Not sure of that, but more & more buyers seem to want certificates for everything.

    Please sell them in your local paper - I dropped on with a window this year for back room in my house fitted perfectly and saved me a small fortune!!! I'm not fussed about fensa as long as I'm WARM and it has made a great difference. I'm just keeping a look out now for my kitchen window.

    Just for interest, the only issue regarding windows when I bought seemed to come from solicitor who was interested in if there was any certificate for the bathroom window, it wasn't something that had crossed my mind :o

    What's all this FENSA nonsense. Who's going to know if you don't tell them.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
