Consumer Code For Home Improvement Companies
The GGF has launched a revised Consumer Code of Practice for consumer facing companies. The content of the Code was in previous years approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute.
Earlier this year as lockdown restrictions were eased and with consumer confidence returning, the Glass and Glazing Federation executive team reviewed the Code and amended the content to ensure that it was fully up to date.
The new code takes account of legislation affecting both consumer and companies from the sale, through to the survey, installation and guarantee.
“Given the circumstances over the last 18 months, the GGF felt it was essential to update the Consumer Code to reflect any changes and to make sure that what we are asking of GGF members and what consumers are expecting when they employ a GGF Members, is legal, correct and accurate.”

Head of membership, GGF

The amends in the Code content were checked by the GGF’s legal advisers and also approved by the Chairs of the Consumer Management Group and Marketing Communications Committee.
The GGF expects the revised Consumer Code to enhance the offering by member companies to consumers and contribute to their sales growth.
The Code will be accessible to Consumers to view/download from the GGF’s consumer advice website, www.myglazing.com
