Fensa regulations cover glass only. The problem is that if you fit the frames yourself you will not get the Fensa guarantee.
If you want to sell your house in the future you will have to foot the bill for an independent survey.

You don't need a fensa installer you can get your Local Authority Building Control to check your windows, costs between £50-£100
The Windows will be fine as long as you use the right spec glass.

as a builder i am not aware of any regs as regards the frames . just make sure you have got lintols over every window .. and toughened glass in all doors and all glass below 800 mm . it might be a good idea to install trickle vents ..but not a legal requirement for replacements
