The British Board of Agrément (BBA) has been assessing installers of construction products for over 45 years to ensure that a professional standard of installation is maintained. Installers approved by the BBA have been thoroughly checked to ensure that they are competent at each stage of the installation process. Successful installers are awarded with a BBA logo and a unique installer number so their credentials can be checked on the BBA website. On-going audits are carried out by BBA inspectors to check that BBA Approved Installers are maintaining high standards of installation.

Installers can now join the BBA's Competent Person Scheme (CPS) to self-certify their solid wall insulation work. The BBA will issue a certificate to the installer's customer and advise the relevant Local Authority that the work has taken place.
Being part of the scheme means installers can:
Membership is voluntary - installers can still use Local Authority Building Control and building inspectors if preferred.
As part of the CPS installers are assessed to ensure they meet the level of competence required before they're registered.
Once registered there will be ongoing inspections of their work to make sure the required standards are met. If you become a registered installer and you are also certified by the BBA under the Green Deal for either external wall insulation or internal wall insulation, then the assessment of competence and ongoing surveillance is already undertaken by the BBA and no additional inspection is required.
The only additional fees are an annual registration fee to cover membership of the scheme and a small charge for each job self-certified by you and registered through us as Building Regulations compliant.
As a BBA CPS registered installer you will need to abide by the rules of the scheme as required by Government and the BBA, including providing a guarantee acceptable to the BBA for all work carried out under the CPS.
If you would like to join the scheme, or would like more details, simply ccontact us by e-mailing construction@bbacerts.co.uk or call us on 01923 665300 for an application form.
Once registered for the CPS, installers will be sent a link by the BBA which gives them access to a login page to register their installations online.
If you are not already part of a BBA installer scheme, the BBA can provide several options depending on what type of work you wish to access. You can access any of these schemes individually or together as an integrated, cost effective package.
