Customers are back — and they are checking your accreditations before they book. Is your IBG, TrustMark and CPS registration visible on your quote? #HomePro #FairTrades #DoubleGlazing

The Warm Homes: Local Grant is NOT a voucher scheme. Homeowners can’t choose their installer. Local councils commission approved installers. You need to reach out to your council to find out how to get on their list. #WarmHomesGrant #LocalAuthority

[HomePro & FairTrades @TrustedBuilders]

Warm Homes: Local Grant covers single to double/triple glazing, insulation, solar, heat pumps, energy efficient doors. One property can have multiple measures. #WarmHomesGrant #Installers

[HomePro & FairTrades @TrustedBuilders]

There is a government grant providing up to £15,000 per property in energy upgrades — no homeowner contribution. A lot of installers have not heard of it. We are going to cover most of it over the next few posts. #WarmHomesGrant #HomePro #FairTrades

The Future Homes Standard is published. Solar panels on every new build from March 2027. No new gas heating. The installer opportunity is real — but compliance is the entry ticket. #FutureHomesStandard #Renewables

A dedicated account manager isn't a luxury. It's the difference between handling a difficult customer situation alone — or with support. #HomePro

[HomePro & FairTrades @TrustedBuilders]

ECO4 has been extended to 31 December 2026. After that — no ECO5. The Warm Homes Plan takes over. The required accreditations matters more than ever. Are you set up? #ECO4 #WarmHomesPlan #FairTrades

Expanding into renewables? TrustMark is a requirement for most government retrofit schemes. Not a nice-to-have. #FairTrades #TrustMark

All IBG providers issue IBGs. What differs is the support, the automation, and the account manager relationship. With HomePro you'll have your own Account Manager there to support you on a day to day basis #HomePro

[HomePro & FairTrades @TrustedBuilders]

If your business works across multiple trades — check whether your IBG provider covers all of them. It'll be easier than having multiple IBG providers.

TrustMark is a prerequisite for many government-funded retrofit schemes — ECO, GBIS, and others. Not just a badge. #FairTrades #TrustMark

[HomePro & FairTrades @TrustedBuilders]

If your IBG provider requires you to manually upload every job, it might be worth asking whether there's a better way. Automation exists. #HomePro

FENSA, CERTASS, Assure — they let you self-certify glazing work meets building regs.

But CPS membership comes with obligations, including providing an IBG.

HomePro works directly with your scheme to process and send the policy to the homeowner.

No extra admin for you.

[HomePro & FairTrades @TrustedBuilders]

A homeowner spending £8k on an installation is thinking about risk. An IBG addresses that concern. #HomePro #InsuranceBackedGuarantee

[HomePro & FairTrades @TrustedBuilders]

IBG vetting is not a loan application. It's a check that your business is legitimate and can stand behind its work. Standard documents. Manageable process.

[HomePro & FairTrades @TrustedBuilders]

Good work and a strong online review profile aren't the same thing. The gap between them is usually a process, not effort. With HomePro, your IBGs form part of that process

[HomePro & FairTrades @TrustedBuilders]

Working under a larger company? The compliance work is invisible. Go independent and it all becomes yours. Start the process before you need it and get in touch with any questions, we're always happy to help.

[HomePro & FairTrades @TrustedBuilders]

👉 Complete a job
👉 Register it with your CPS
👉 Separately register the IBG
👉 Track which certificates have been issued

Multiply by 40 jobs a month.

Or don't - with HomePro the process is automated, you only register each install once - with your CPS provider, we do the rest

[HomePro & FairTrades @TrustedBuilders]

An IBG is a compliance requirement. It's also a sales tool. Most installers only use it as the former. #InstallerCredibility

[HomePro & FairTrades @TrustedBuilders]

Homeowners are 60% more likely to choose a quote that includes an IBG. Are you making it visible on your proposals? #HomePro #GlazingInstaller
