Windows & Door fitting

Is my warrenty now void on my windows as company dissolved?

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 2.48 PM

When we bought our flat we thought the windows were poorly fitted. We can now hear the wind whistling sometimes. The windows and workmanship are under a 10 year warrenty which is still valid but the company who fitted them dissolved a few years go. Is my warrenty now void? Can I do anything?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Alan - Your Fensa Cert does not act as a back up gaurantee i'm affraid. As Sean said if the windows were fitted after 2002, and they were registered with FENSA (or another company such as Certass) the customer is normally "offered" the chance to take an insurance back gaurantee incase the installer/fitter goes bust. Some fitting companies "give" their customers the insurance backed Gaurantee. the difference is if you are "offered" an IBG the customer pays for it, if you are "given" an IBG the company pays for it. Normally provided by the GGF. there are many businesses out there that would fix the problems you have stated with the windows should you not have a gaurantee! Hope this helps!
