Is a fensa certificate a guarantee?

While repairing a broken pane, a glazier commented that the window frame had dropped and I should check my fensa certificate and get the fitters to fix it.

I have the certificate, the windows were fitted in 2012, but is a fensa certificate actually a guarantee? I thought it was just certification that regulations were met. If it is a guarantee, how long for?

    You're right. Its noa guarantee. It's confirmation that they have geen installed as per current regs.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    Thanks for the confirmation. Is there any kind of automatic warranty that would cover the work for a number of years? They were put in under the previous homeowner.

    You would need to check with your solicitor to see if any guarantee was transferred to you. Guarantees aren't automatic and some are non transferrable.
