10-15mm on each side - which is what the manufacturer suggests. Seems quite a lot?

On a new build, not really. There’s a few things to consider. Bracket size, most are 10mm cranked 2mm on frame, 2mm on building, 6mm of a crank.

 

PU foam nozzle is 5mm. Some prefer 12mm tolerance.

In this situation I think you can speak to the supplier and ask him for some contacts of his regular window buyers and ask for them to give a supply and fit quote

We renovated a cottage in Norfolk and one luxury was some delightful sash windows, which we paid a lot for but we got a Fensa certificate.  So when the lights blew after only 7 years we knew we were ok.  Except the company had gone bust (i.e. had changed their name and walked away from all responsibilities) and Fensa gleefully told us we should have taken an insurance policy against the company failing, so it was our own fault.  Lovely.

Hi @G and J

Yes, a FENSA certificate covers the replacement of external windows, doors, roof windows and roof lights in domestic properties in line with building regulations in domestic properties but only if the property is on its original footprint and the use and size of the rooms have not been altered. This relates only to installations after 1st April 2002.

The FENSA certificate confirms compliance with building regulations, ensures the installations are registered with the local council and shows the installation is energy efficient. It is worth noting that compliance and registration are required by law, both of which are covered with FENSA certification.

FENSA certification does not cover conservatories, porches, new builds or commercial properties.

It seems to be more about ensuring the windows were installed to the building regulations standard and that the windows etc conform with the thermal resistance requirements....
