Quick question

Hi Folks

Very recently I've had two windows replaced (with uPVC DGU). I didn't use a FENSA registered installer and have raised/placed the Building Notice myself. However I've done things the wrong way round i.e. had the windows fit then raised the Building Notice. This hasn't given my LA any opportunity to inspect the fitting process only the finished product.

Is it likely that I may encounter any problems?

Looking forward to any feedback.

yours

Eamon

    Really depends on your Building Control Officer tbh. I reckon you might get away with it if you talk to them nicely. Good luck.

    We've never had problems and I don't think the inspectors have ever seen them being fitted. It's far more about the windows themselves.
