Is Sorby Carpentry Ltd FENSA or Certass registered?
This directory does not confirm registration. Window and door installers self-certify their work against Building Regulations through a Competent Person Scheme — mainly FENSA or Certass — so check the company name or postcode (BL5 1AN) directly on the FENSA or Certass website before booking, and ask to see the certificate number.
Should I repair or replace my windows?
Repair makes sense for a failed seal (misted double glazing), a worn handle or hinge, or a damaged lock on an otherwise sound frame — usually a straightforward swap. Replacement is the better value once frames are warped, draughty, rotten (on timber) or past roughly 20 to 25 years old, or when several units across the house have failed. Ask the installer to price both where it's borderline.
What is a FENSA or Certass certificate and why does it matter?
It's proof the window or door installation meets Building Regulations (thermal performance, safety glazing, ventilation) without a separate council building control sign-off. Without one, selling the property can mean paying for retrospective building control inspection or indemnity insurance, so keep the certificate with your house documents.
Does a listing here mean Sorby Carpentry Ltd is recommended?
No. Companies appear in this directory because they are on the Companies House register under a window/joinery installation trade code. A listing is not vetting, endorsement, or a guarantee that the company is trading or FENSA/Certass registered.
