Wanted - fitter to install bifold doors

[ceebeebee]

Have found these great bifold doors on internet, exactly what ww've been looking for, oak, right size etc. problem is the supplier just supplies them and won't fit them, and we'd need a fensa certificate from whoever does fit them! Anyone have any experience of this issue?

A fensa certificate means nothing, if anyone can tell me that anyone from 'fensa' has ever inspected their new windows then I would be very surprised. The best way to go with new windows and doors is through Building Control, it will cost around ?250 but a proper surveyor will inspect the work and 'sign it off'

Thanks grace, but actually Fensa is a requirement for all windows an doors installed since 2002, and when you sell, your buyers solicitor asks you for the certificates. Building control will sign off on the structure of the opening for the windowsn not the actual fitting of the windows.

[grace3]

totally wrong there my dear,building control will check that an instalation of windows and doors meet ALL government regulations.

B.T.W. if anyone says they can instal your 'on line' bi fold doors for less than ?1000 be wary. Good luck. Grace.
