I have a holiday home that was fitted with new windows about 5 years ago. I am advised that at this time they did not require a FENSA certificate. Is this correct?

Hi has far as i know you would have needed to have a fensa certificate 5 years ago thanks keith

no its not correct fensa came in, in 2001

Fensa requirements came in to force in 2001 following the Kyoto agreement. All domestic windows and doors should be registered with a Fensa certificate. However, I would look up Fensa regulations on the internet to see if homes that are only lived in for a couple of weeks a year need comply. Hope this helps. Paul

Not correct, building regulations made it clear from 2002 they wanted all windows and doors to have a building regulations completion certificate to ensure people were following the correct safety and energy efficency measures.

Check with the local building authority

you should have a certificate but if building control has seen them as part of a building inspection they might be coverd on the building work completion certificate or you can pay £80 fee to building control to pass them
