Balconette’s Building Control Compliance Certificates
Glass Balustrades | Juliet Balconies | Galleries | Articles | Case Studies
What’s the Problem?
A day in the life of a building control officer can be challenging — especially when it comes to reviewing installations like glass balustrades or Juliet balconies. Many homeowners and builders source parts from multiple suppliers: glass from one place, handrails from another, and fixings elsewhere. The result? A jigsaw puzzle of mismatched components that may or may not comply with regulations.
This often leaves homeowners chasing suppliers for technical details — and building control officers trying to make sense of cobbled-together systems with incomplete documentation.
It shouldn’t be this difficult.
A complex product like a balustrade should come with clear evidence that it’s fit for purpose and meets all necessary standards. That means accurate specifications, dimensions, drawings, and compliance with applicable regulations — all presented in one place.

What’s the Solution?
Ideally, a single document should consolidate all relevant compliance information.
And that’s exactly what Balconette provides.
Every Balustrade and Juliet Balcony we supply comes with its own Building Control Compliance Certificate — a complete, project-specific document that simplifies the job of any checking officer or engineer.
Since we design, manufacture, and supply the full system — made to suit each installation — we can compile all required data into one robust and easy-to-read certificate.
This gives everyone peace of mind: what’s on paper is what’s on-site, and it all meets the relevant standards.
What’s Included?
Each Building Control Compliance Certificate includes:
- Full product specification (product name, dimensions, materials, finish)
- Use category / occupancy class
- Design service loads for handrail and infill
- System drawings
- Structural calculation and compliance summary
- Fixing loads and substrate information if order included fixings, or just fixing loads
- Fire classification and certificate references
- List of applicable British Standards / Eurocodes
- Installation guide
- Warranty / Guarantee
- Maintenance and aftercare guidance
- Unique certificate ID for traceability
Why It Matters
This all-in-one document streamlines the compliance process and builds confidence at every level — from installer to inspector to end user.
It helps ensure smooth approvals, reduces project delays, and supports a professional installation process backed by evidence.
