I did this for a bay window we replaced, cost about 10x an indemnity policy which in hindsight we should have done as the guy spent all of 5 minutes looking at the window.
Yeah. I guess you need to weigh up whether the lack of certification has an impact on what people will pay for your gaff, rather than comparing the cost against the subsequent indemnity.
Ultimately an indemnity only protects you from subsequent fines and enforcement from BC, it doesn't protect you against 'was it done right?'.
With a BC certification you have, um, some sense of the work having been done properly, although it doesn't mean you won't have any subsequent problems with it.
Le Sigh etc.

Yeah, this is a Competent Person Scheme e.g. the big window business can issue a FENSA certificate, but smaller/artisan firms aren't registered so you have to go through BC.
