How Hazlemere Windows have benefitted since becoming GGF members

Hazlemere Window Company Ltd became members of the Glass and Glazing Federation in 2015, after looking into the benefits to both the business and its clients before signing up. This decision continues to be one that the company wished they had taken earlier, as often when clients are seeking a reputable double glazing manufacturer and installer they often start by looking for a Glass and Glazing Federation Member.  The GGF represents over 60% of the home improvement industry by turnover. The Glass and Glazing Fedrerations’s opinion is also regularly sought by Government on Regulation and Consumer issues. The GGF, which was established over 40 years ago, is considered as the Voice of the Industry and their opinion is regularly sought by Government on regulation and Technical Standards. Hazlemere Window Company Ltd joined the GGF to further cement its position as established independent manufacturers and installers with an impressive track record stretching back over 33 years, plus to also benefit from the GGF’s Technical input and advice.

GGF technical department

The Glass and Glazing Federation Technical Team can provide support to Members in the following areas:

GGF free technical advice

The GGF Technical Team are there to help Members with any questions they have. If they do not know the answer they usually know who to contact.

GGF input into technical standards

This means they know what will be required in the future as well as influencing how standardisation should change. GGF Members are able to participate at GGF meetings to guide the way forward with standardisation.

GGF technical library

The GGF hold a comprehensive technical library that contains British, European and International standards relevant to glass and fenestration products. Members can reference these documents via the GGF’s Technical Department.

GGF technical consultation and expert witness

The GGF provide a consultancy service that can provide an independent report on an installation. This service is not free and has to be paid for. However, GGF Members receive a discount on the fees. Consultancy reports can be used for a variety of purposes including giving consumers confidence with their installation to confirming what should be rectified to make an installation fit for purpose. The service also provides expert witness evidence should complaints go to litigation.

GGF product testing and approval

The GGF can give specific advice on how a manufacturer can obtain appropriate approvals, for their products, to national, European and International standards. Through their contacts they can arrange all necessary testing.

GGF Governmental influence

The GGF  consistemtly works to build up the necessary links and access to Government, the opposition parties and legislators. This allows for ‘Members’’ views to be carried through to the decision makers to ensure GGF Members are not disadvantaged.

In conjunction to their excellent links to UK Government they have set up a route to spread their Members messages into Brussels. The GGF is linked to various European organisations that provide access to MEPs and the Commission.

The GGF is also linked into a European Monitoring organisation, the British Business Bureau with our CBI Membership.

England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland Building Regulations

These are mandatory requirements that are set by national governments. The GGF provides guidance to Members on what the requirements are, as well as working with the relevant Government Departments to update existing and develop future legislation.

Proper Vetting

All GGF Members who supply, fit or install replacement windows, double glazing, energy efficient windows, doors and conservatories have been trading for at least three years and are regularly vetted to ensure quality of service: this vetting process includes making a site visit to the company’s premises, checking two years of their accounts and taking up trade and consumer references.

Hazlemere Window Company Ltd are proud to be active GGF Members and also that one of it’s Directors, Mark Austin was elected as Chairman of the GGF’s Windows and Doors Group back in January 2017. Mark co-chairs the joint quarterly meetings of the Windows and Doors Group and the Conservatory Association with Phil Goult of Anglian, who is the Chairman of the Conservatory Association.  As such Mark and Phil both sit on the GGF Home Improvement Executive (HIE), with whom all the other chairs sit, representing consumer groups, fenestration hardware suppliers, window and door system manufacturers, technical groups and the Heritage window group etc. In-fact in May 2018 the HIE unanimously elected Mark to be GGF Vice-President, as position that also a position on the GGF Board of Directors assuming they approve the recommendation from the Home Improvement Executive. This is something they also did unanimously on 7th June 2018, so another reason why Hazlemere Window Company Ltd are genuinely proud to be GGF Members.

Heat and Buildings Strategy “Only half the job done”

The Heat & Buildings Strategy sets out how the UK will decarbonise its buildings, including homes, commercial, industrial and public sector buildings, to reach the Government Net Zero targets by 2050.

The government’s long term plan is to significantly cut carbon emissions from the UK’s 30 million homes and workplaces in a simple, low-cost and green way whilst ensuring this remains affordable and fair for households across the country.

In the Government announcement, the transition will be a gradual and will start by incentivizing consumers and driving down costs.

With approximately 30 million buildings in the UK contributing almost a quarter of all UK emissions, the issue needs to be addressed not only reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions, but also to save money on energy bills and improve lives. However the GGF feels the Government’s new strategy hasn’t gone far enough in relation to insulating buildings and in particular in regard to glazing.

John Agnew, GGF Group Managing Director commented, “From reading the Heat and Buildings Strategy, it seems skewed towards fuel supply and consumption and not on preserving or saving heat. Insulation should be top priority. It’s estimated that there’s over one hundred million windows in the UK that need replaced, this includes pre-2002 double glazing and old single glazing which is not fit for purpose. Up to twenty four per cent of heat energy can escape from a building through poor inefficient glazing. These are issues Government needs to address to achieve its net zero targets.”

The Heat and Buildings Strategy has focused on the drive to convert consumers to heat pumps and hydrogen boilers instead of gas powered boilers. In the Government announcement the aim is to install 600,000 homes with heat pumps each year until 2028.

John Agnew added, “The jury is still very much out on the heat pump solution with mixed reports in the media on how efficient and cost effective they are. It is clear heat pumps need a well-insulated building to achieve optimum performance and one of the main problems with the UK’s building stock is that it is poorly insulated. We will continue engagement with Government on energy efficient and present the case for glazing to be central in all future Government energy efficient initiatives to reduce carbon emissions.”

The GGF is aiming to launch its commissioned independent report on glazing and its contribution to net zero in December 2021.

GGF reacts to cancellation of Green Homes Grant Scheme

Following a communication direct from Government, the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) has reacted to the Government’s decision to cancel the Green Home Homes Grant Voucher Scheme with applications no longer being accepted after 5pm on 31st March 2021.

The GGF received an email from the Directorate of Energy Efficiency at BEIS (Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy) and BEIS issued a press release shortly afterwards stating the Green Homes Grant Scheme’s objective was a short term economic boost to the sector and posted the latest figures on the uptake of the scheme that shows that 96,000 applications and 39,000 vouchers have been issued. The Government target for this scheme was to install measures in 600,000 homes by April 2021.

On receiving the news, John Agnew, GGF Managing Director commented, “The cancellation of the scheme comes as no surprise. The interest and uptake of the scheme has been low and this has been due to the limited options for consumers combined with a lack of approved installers to implement the scheme. The criteria to be an approved installer included the high level qualification requirement for companies to be accredited to the PAS 2030 standard within a very short time period. This scheme was announced in July last year without consultation with industry and I hope the Government ensures that all future schemes will be inclusive and for the benefit of all of the home improvement industry and consumers.”

John Agnew - GGF President

Before this year’s budget announcement, the GGF wrote to the Chancellor asking for funding to be made available to help companies attain PAS 2030 accreditation. Last month, the GGF and FENSA wrote to BEIS Secretary of State recommending that the Government should approve installers in competent person schemes as an alternative to carry out the work in the scheme.

John Agnew outlined, “The GGF attended many meetings with BEIS ministers and officials regarding the scheme and both GGF and FENSA offered solutions such as asking for the scheme to enable the replacement of inefficient double glazing and for glazing to be a primary measure. FENSA has overseen the installation of over 64 million Windows & Doors through 14 million installations, so it’s disappointing that FENSA and GGF were not included in the formulation of the scheme.”

The scheme, announced in July 2020 was generally recognised by many as an important initiative and with £3b budgeted, it was the first substantial energy efficient scheme for home improvement in England for several years. It is clear the rate and scale of the delivery of the scheme has been affected by the enormous impact of the COVID pandemic combined with problems administering the scheme.

The Government has reassured that all valid applications received up to 5pm on 31st March will be processed and vouchers in the system will continue to be issued, meaning that delivery of installations on the ground will continue over the coming months. Vouchers that are already issued will be extended to a date that will provide a reasonable time for installations to be completed.

John Agnew added, “On behalf of our members and the industry, the GGF will continue talks with government on energy efficiency in existing building stock and new build, to help the UK achieve its long term zero carbon objectives.”

Green Homes Grant Voucher Scheme extended by one year

The Prime Minister has announced a one-year extension to the Green Homes Grant Voucher Scheme, until the end of March 2022. The announcement was made as part of the Prime Minister’s ambitious 10 Point Plan for a green industrial revolution.

Homeowners across England will now have until the end of March 2022 to have energy efficiency upgrades to their homes completed through the Green Homes Grant Voucher Scheme, helping up to 600,000 households save up to £600 on their energy bills.

The scheme funds up to two-thirds of the cost of green home improvements up to £5,000, or 100% of the cost for homeowners on low incomes, up to £10,000. Measures covered include insulation of walls, floors and roofs, double or triple glazing when replacing single glazing, and low-carbon heating like heat pumps.

The Prime Minister announced the extension of both the Green Homes Grant and the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme in his 10 Point Plan for a Green Industrial Revolution, designed to help the country build back greener and help reach the UK’s key target for net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

£1 billion will be available next year into making new and existing homes and public buildings more energy efficient, including through the Green Homes Grant Voucher Scheme and the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme.

The GGF has persistently lobbied Government for an extension to the scheme and the additional 12 months, now gives companies a chance to register to the scheme and undertake the work.

John Agnew, GGF Managing Director, “We welcome the news of an extension to the scheme but we will continue discussions with government to change glazing from a secondary measure to a primary measure. In addition, we are also asking government to consider replacing inefficient double glazing as well as single glazing under the scheme.” 

The GGF understands that over 40,000 vouchers have been issued in the first few months of the scheme. To find out more about the scheme and how you can register as an installer under the Green Home Grant Voucher Scheme please visit the government web page https://www.gov.uk/guidance/green-homes-grant-scheme-register-as-a-certified-tradesperson-or-business
