Stitched up by a window installer?? Anyone in building regs?
Had some windows fitted in June 2002. Recently tried to remortgage and solicitor has noticed we dont have a FENSA cert or building reg approval. Speak to the fitter (cash job) who says, ''yep Low E, 24mm, toughened below 800mm, K glass. Had a reputable co. out to check for k glass and guess what?? NOT K GLASS
Also possible problems with openings (although these can be changed easily - but damn sure its gonna be at the fitters expense).
Should we give him the opportunity to replace for K glass, at his expense and if we have no joy grass him up to FENSA or use that as a bargaining tool?

Are you *sure* they were fitted in June 2002?
Might it have perhaps been March 2002? It's easy to get a date out by a couple of months or so.
A little research on www.fensa.co.uk and it might make a world of difference as to which Building Regs requirements the windows have to comply with.
HTH

ps - not condoning anything *cough* illegal *cough* some people's memory fades with time!

how does the surveyor (or whoever) know when you had the windows replaced? i've just had a couple of windows replaced and this is the first time i've even heard of fensa or anything like that. surely if anyone asked i could just say it was done in 2001 or whenever?
