Why should I use an installer who is registered with a Competent Person Scheme?

Using an installer who is registered with a Competent Person Scheme (CPS) gives you confidence that they are qualified to carry out specific types of work, such as installing replacement windows and doors, conservatories, or bi-fold doors, in accordance with current Building Regulations.

A CPS-registered installer is authorised to:

• Carry out work that complies with Building Regulations.
• Self-certify that the installation meets the required standards.
• Notify the relevant authorities of the completed work.
• Arrange for a Building Regulations Compliance Certificate to be issued to the homeowner.

This means you do not normally need to make a separate application to Building Control yourself, helping to make the process quicker and simpler.
