Daft ain't it.
Looks like there is enough saving to be worth splashing out on a building
control notice and they can give you your certificate.

Building control notice for fitting windows !!! its bloody crazy
really, two fixings per side and a bit of good ol foam, and jobs a good
un !


The authorities couldn't care less how well fitted they are as long as
the glass meets current regulations. £100 to verify that is just a local
tax really.

I just left the K glass stickers on mine and poited it out to the BCO
when he inspected first fix :-)
