THE NATIONAL FEDERATION OF GLAZIERS

General Information

1. Advice.

The Federation offers constant advice on all aspects of the glazing and glass, including Codes of Practice, difficulties with payments, installations, contracts etc. to both the general public and its Members

2. Code of Installation Practice

It is recommended that all Members adopt this code. We are sure that by demonstrating this, Members will increase their business.

3. Insured Guarantees

The Federation has researched the market in this type of insurance, and can offer a Scheme which, at a competitive cost, offers satisfactory cover at very competitive rates, from an authorised British Insurance Company. Deposit Protection Cover is also available to cover up to 25% of the gross contract value to protect the Consumer in the event of a member ceasing to trade before installation. The Federation highly recommends that this type of cover is offered to prospective customers.

4. Commitment to Good Practice

This document, which to our knowledge, is the most comprehensive voluntary code available in this industry, provides every Member with the opportunity to demonstrate to the Consumer their commitment to sound principles in their conduct of business, and is written in plain English.

5. Arbitration Service

In addition to any direct help the Federation may be able to offer in the event of a dispute, an Arbitration Service is available.

The Federation does not advertise, or employ representatives, and is a non-profit making organisation. This keeps Membership costs to a minimum.

Upon acceptance of Membership, a Certificate of Membership is issued together with labels for stationery for showroom/vehicle use.
