Building regulation compliance with CERTASS
For certain projects, it may be necessary to obtain a CERTASS certificate to demonstrate compliance with building regulations which we do on your behalf. This certificate is particularly important if you plan to sell your property in the future.
CERTASS has been a Government authorised Certification body since 2006. CERTASS UKAS accreditation matters! It places a duty upon CERTASS to certify our members impartially against agreed standards.
There are two main competent person self certification schemes; CERTASS and FENSA. Some projects will need a certificate from either of these as proof of compliance to building regulations – which is necessary if you choose to sell your property. Polar Bear Windows uses CERTASS as they hold more accreditations and have provided unparalleled support to us and our customers over the years.
