By the time you've paid for a visit from Building Control to sign off on the job, probably as cheap to pay someone to do the fitting - Get someone that can self certify the work. They will also dispose of the waste and provide a guarantee on the windows & installation.Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Would I need building control to sign off on a certified joiner to fit them? (If I can get them cheaply supplied)0 -

Personally, whoever you use, I'd go with supply and fit from same person/company.
Otherwise, if anything goes wrong later, you run the risk that the fitter says it's a problem with the windows you gave him, and the supplier says it's the fitter's fault.(Nearly) dunroving0 -

If the installer is FENSA or CERTASS registered and can self certify, then no need for you to involve BC - The fitter will do all the paperwork.Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
