Hi

Around 8 years ago we had all our front windows replaced with upvc by
a 'household name' installer. I was so disappointed with the quality
of the work (massive voids filled only with mastic, stripped screws
etc etc) that I decided to replace the back windows myself when the
time came. In the last two years I've fitted all the rear windows
myself, I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was, and with a bit
of time and effort I've done a job that far surpasses the quality of
the 'professionals' we used.

Now we're looking to sell the house and i've decided to avoid any
problems with fensa certs etc by applying for a regularisation
certificate from the council, as I understand it, for £90 they will
come and inspect my work against the building regs and
retrospectively approve the installation.

My question is, what will they check? Is it just the thermal
performance they'll be interested in or will they also check the
physical installation of the frames. For example, will they want to
remove all the sealing around the top of the frames to check I haven't
messed about with the lintels?

I bought all my windows from a fensa registered trade supplier and all
the units had the k glass stickers on, so thermally I'm not concerned.
Just wondering if they'll be extra picky as I didn't notify them
before I did the work?

Anyone else been in this situation?

Thanks
