GB Joinery first to A rating in Accoya with CENSolutions

Family run GB Joinery is pleased to announce that with support from CENSolutions it has become the ONLY UK manufacturer of Accoya products with an official BFRC A rating on Vertical Sliding Box Sash Windows and one of just 23 companies across the country to have official A ratings on timber VSS windows.

GB Joinery provides a wide range of professional joinery and carpentry services, to Stockport and the Greater Manchester area and throughout the UK. Established in 2014, the team has joinery experience that spans over 35 years.  Offering an end to end service from the design, to manufacture and installation, they pride themselves on providing quality products at a reasonable price, with the personal touch. Karl Garforth, General Manager at GB Joinery, explains: “We offer our customers our best products, as standard.  We’re obviously delighted to be the holder of the only official A rating on Accoya products in the UK, as quality is everything to us. It is a prerequisite in everything we do and our customers have come to expect that.  As specialists, we’ve got industry experience that spans over four decades and that really shows in our finished products.

“When it comes to certification, you need someone you can rely on and trust, who has the experience and knowledge required to guide you through the process and you definitely get that with CENSolutions. There are a lot of similarities in our companies’ approach – we are both very focussed on delivering quality and ensuring our customers get great service, all at the best available price.  As well as our Window Energy Rating, we also hold PAS24: 2016 on our stormproof and flush fitting casements in Accoya and hardwood as well as weather performance testing BS 6375 and CMS Certification on a range of window and door products to cover CE Marking and EN 14351.  CENSolutions makes the process easy.  We see them twice a year for auditing purposes but they are always on hand in the meantime should we need any assistance.  It’s great to know that all of our certification requirements are in safe hands.”

Wayne Rogerson, Joint Managing Director of CENSolutions adds: “GB Joinery is a well invested, extremely experienced joinery company making some truly fantastic products.   The fact they are the only timber manufacturer in Manchester to have Window Energy Ratings says a lot about the type of company they are and to have the only official A rating in the UK on Accoya products is fantastic.  We have been their certification partner for just over a year now and have to say their commitment to quality and customer service is commendable.  We look forward to working with them for many more years to come.”
