5. Leaks and damp

“We cannot offer any guarantee against damp and leaking issues. Should a window leak after the initial repair, this might indicate a larger issue with your building.”

6. Do I get a FENSA / Certass certificate?

“No, FENSA/Certass does not apply to replacement parts, even if you upgrade your glass to high-spec energy-saving glass. FENSA/Certass registrations are only required if you change the whole window, including the frame and glass.”

5. “Damp or Leaks?”

“We cannot guarantee damp or leak issues where the problem is more complex and may require other trades such as builders.”
