Background
The National Insulation Association is the leading trade
association for insulation measures and companies in the UK and our members
include the manufacturers, system designers and installers of cavity wall,
external wall, internal wall, loft, roof and floor insulation and draught
proofing.
Our members are required to meet our robust membership
criteria and work to all appropriate industry standards and abide by our strict
code of professional practice. This
means that by choosing an NIA member to carry out the work there is added
reassurance and recourse compared to using non NIA members.
As a result an increasing number of specifiers and advice
agencies including energy companies, Government Schemes, Local Authorities,
Housing Associations and the Energy Saving Trust are choosing and recommending
the use of our members.
Important
Developments in Quality Standards and Regulations
There are some very significant developments currently
taking place in the insulation industry which will impact on quality and
standards of workmanship and customer redress which we wanted to bring to your
attention.
The independent review of quality and standards in the
energy efficiency industry being carried out by Peter Bonfield is due to report
shortly however, there is already work being carried out linked to it which will
impact on industry standards.
PAS2030 which governs the standards that insulation
installers must operate to is currently being revised and a new specification will
be published in early 2017. This will
include robust standards and requirements for installers including the
assessment of properties to receive insulation measures, the system design, physical
installation and handover to the property owner.
We are directly involved in this work and we are developing
new industry standards for external wall insulation, cavity wall insulation,
room in roof insulation and loft insulation which will be referenced in
PAS2030. We will require all our members to adhere to
these new standards and if any of them fail to do so we have the powers to take
appropriate disciplinary action.
Find Out More
Our new standards include industry leading specifications
and best practice guides which will provide greater reassurance and recourse to
specifiers and householders in the use of NIA members.
We would therefore strongly recommend that specifies and householders use NIA members. Details of our members can be
found on our website www.nia-uk.org
Free Service for Specifiers
of Insulation Works
We have introduced a new FREE service to help specifiers find NIA members to work on their
projects.
The new’ expressions of interest service
allows specifers to provide us with details of their forthcoming
projects and specifications and we will then issue requests for
information and tender requests to our members on their behalf saving time and
money. For more details of the service
email bev.hodson@nia-uk.org
Why will there be any change? The same people you endorsed to put the insulation in, paid your fee and will now pay again and take it out! CIGA and SWIGA share your building, you literally all piss in the same pot!!
ReplyDeleteUnless the NIA distances itself from the disgusting corrupt practices used to sell cavity wall insulation and same crooks now running the claims management companies to take it out, then we can have no faith in the independence of your organisation.
