Woodland is a member of the ‘Made In Britain’ campaign which promotes British manufacturing. Wherever you see the ‘Made In Britain’ Marque you can be sure the products you buy are made here in Great Britain, and Woodland have been proud members of the scheme since 2013.
We know it is important to our customers to be able to buy from and support local businesses. Increasingly competition from cheap but inferior foreign imports is clouding the market. These companies often disappear as quickly as they appear and we hear of many customers left with quality defects or guarantee issues outstanding when the company they thought was a ‘local’ business was in fact just buying in cheap windows from abroad.
It is important that any company manufacturing in Britain is able to differentiate itself and the ‘Made In Britain’ marque gives our customers the confidence to be sure the products they are buying really are made in Britain.
Woodland are members of the FENSA scheme, a government authorised competent persons scheme for the replacement of windows, doors and roof lights in England and Wales which stands for Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme.
When replacing windows, doors and roof lights into dwellings in England and Wales, home owners must comply with current thermal performance and Building Regulation standards. Our membership of FENSA gives you the confidence that any products we install will comply and be certified in accordance with the requirements of the Building Regulations.
Replacing windows, doors and roof lights are ‘notifiable’ work and must be registered with Building Control. Home owners must comply with current thermal performance and Building Regulation standards and ensure they get a certificate from a Competent Person scheme such as FENSA.
FENSA enables companies that install replacement windows and doors to self-certify compliance under these Building Regulations without the need for a separate assessment from Building Control.
We are members of the British Woodworking Federation, a trade association for the woodworking and joinery industry which aims to promote and support the use of timber in building and construction products, including timber windows and doors.

The BWF Code of Conduct is your assurance of quality of service, manufacturing and sourcing. It sets out the principles of good practice for a woodworking or joinery business. The code represents the standard to which all members have committed themselves achieving.
