With so many different companies out there offering similar services, making sure that you choose the right one can be a little tricky at times.

Recommendations from friends and family are often the reason that people turn to a particular company. However, what if you are looking for a product or service that has not been used before by anyone that you know?

In the absence of personal recommendations, the relevant certifications and accreditations for a business can go a long way towards ensuring that you are making a wise choice.

Some accreditations are easier to obtain than others but anywhere that you see the GGF logo, you can be certain that you are dealing with a company that ticks all of the right boxes.

What Is The GGF?

The Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) represents companies who make, supply or fit, glass and glass related products in the UK and further afield.

They are the primary representative organisation for any company which is involved in products and services for all types of glazing in commercial and domestic sectors.

Government Recognised Organisation

The GGF is recognised by government and plays a large part in the setting of new standards and regulations such as The Building Regulations which are the rules that govern and control the way our buildings are constructed in the UK.

5 Reasons Why You Should Use a GGF Member

No. 1 – All Companies are Vetted

Businesses who wish to become GGF members must be able to supply, fit or install replacement windows, double glazing, energy efficient windows, doors and conservatories, or window films and have been trading for at least 3 years.

They will then be vetted to ensure quality of service: this vetting process includes making a site visit to the company’s premises, checking 2 years of their accounts and taking up trade and consumer references.

No. 2 – Companies Work to a GGF Code of Good Practice & the GGF Glazing Manual

All GGF members must demonstrate an ability to work to an official Code of Good Practice and to the Technical Standards laid out in the GGF Glazing Manual

No. 3 – FREE Conciliation Service

The GGF also provides a FREE Conciliation Service should a domestic customer and a member company not see eye to eye over work carried out. In the rare cases that this does not work, the GGF has an independent arbitration scheme run by the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.

Customer Complaints Form

Note: The GGF states that it has no authority regarding compensation, and is therefore unable to provide any assistance on this particular issue.

No. 4 – Conduct is monitored and regulated

The GGF monitors and regulates the conduct of its members to ensure that customers are treated fairly.

No. 5 – Your Installation will Comply with the Building Regulations

All GGF Members will comply with the Building Regulations when replacing your windows and doors, this includes ensuring safety glazing is installed in critical locations as well meeting the thermal performance requirements for the replacement products.

All replacement windows and doors installed within England and Wales need to be registered; this can be done in a number of ways – through registration with a self-certification scheme such as FENSA or through your Local Building Control. A certificate of compliance will be issued and this is required whenever there is a legal transfer of the property by your solicitor.
