Most homeowners find themselves stuck in a whirlwind of options when it comes to home improvements, especially something as impactful as replacing or upgrading their doors. Should you go with a sleek aluminium bi-fold door or a classic composite front door? And what about compliance? Do you need certification?
Here’s the short answer: yes, and yes. If you’re investing in new doors for your home, you’ll want a trusted, experienced supplier who also meets regulatory standards. That’s where Globe Home Improvements comes in.
We’re not just your average home improvement company. We’re a family-run business with over 30 years of hands-on experience in the industry, known for exceptional service and top-quality products. And yes, we’re proudly FENSA registered—a fully qualified FENSA registered door supplier you can trust.
What is FENSA?
FENSA stands for the Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme, a government-authorised certification programme that monitors compliance with building regulations for window and door replacements in England and Wales.
In simple terms, if your door installer is a FENSA registered door supplier, you can breathe easier knowing your installation:
- Meets building regulations
- Is energy-efficient
- Comes with a certificate of compliance
- Saves you the hassle (and paperwork) of contacting local authorities yourself
Think of FENSA as the stamp of approval that says, “Yes, your doors are properly fitted, safe, and legal.” A bit like an MOT for your home, but without the yearly panic.
Why Being a FENSA Registered Door Supplier is Important
Anyone can claim to install doors. However, not everyone can guarantee compliance with the latest building regulations or provide documentation to help you if you ever want to sell your home.
Here’s why working with FENSA registered door suppliers (like us!) is so important:
1. Compliance Without the Hassle
FENSA registration means we take care of everything. You don’t need to contact your local council or apply for a separate certificate. We handle the red tape so you can enjoy your new doors stress-free.
2. Added Home Value
When it comes time to sell your home, FENSA certificates are gold. Prospective buyers (and their solicitors) love proper documentation. It’s one less obstacle in your way, and can help smooth the sale process.
3. Quality Assurance
FENSA ensures registered installers are vetted and monitored for competence and compliance. Thus, you get more than a door—you get confidence that it’s been installed correctly by a certified FENSA registered door installer.
4. Third-Party Insurance
With Globe Home Improvements, not only is your installation registered with FENSA, but it’s also protected with Home Improvement Protection. That’s a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee in case life throws an unexpected spanner in the works.
5. Peace of Mind
Home improvement projects can feel daunting. But when working with a certified, experienced, and regulated company, you’ll sleep better at night knowing your investment is protected from every angle.

FAQS About FENSA Registered Door Suppliers
What is the benefit of using a FENSA registered door supplier?
A FENSA registered door supplier ensures that your installation meets building regulations. You’ll receive a compliance certificate and avoid needing council approval. It also gives you a trustworthy FENSA registered door installer who has been vetted and monitored.
Do all door installations require FENSA certification?
Not every door installation needs it, but most external door replacements with more than 50% glass do. A FENSA registered door supplier like us will know precisely when certification is required and handle everything for you, including the paperwork.
Is FENSA certification required when selling my home?
If your doors were replaced, a FENSA certificate is typically required during home-selling. It proves the installation was compliant, which helps avoid delays, extra costs, or last-minute headaches during conveyancing.
How do I know if an installer is a FENSA registered door supplier?
You can check an installer’s status on the official FENSA website or ask for their registration number. We’re proud to be FENSA registered and happy to show you our credentials anytime.
Do I still get a warranty if I go with a FENSA registered company?
Absolutely—and even better, Globe Home Improvements offers a 10-Year Globe Warranty and additional third-party coverage through Home Improvement Protection. That’s double the assurance, so you’re fully covered no matter what.
