Trade | Double Glazing | Windows | Doors | Conservatories | West Midlands

I dont know how many people watched badger or bust about the conservatory company in Bradford but I do feel it has shed some light on the failures in the double glazing industries problems at the moment.

Obviously there are people who have been in the industry a while but if this is what the behaviour of sales staff in our industry is coming to it goes a long way to explain the sink we are feeling at the moment.

If there is one lesoon we can learn from this program in our industry is we have to be more proactive in educating our customers about product offerings and our sales approach has to be genuine and not just an opportunity as the public sometimes feels just to make a quick buck.

Generally if you live in a semi detached or detached properted a conservatory with a volume total of 70M3 is allowed how ever if it is larger planning is required. If you live in a terraced or end of terrace only 50m3 is allowed.

The problems that people often encounter when they build a conservatory with out planning is they are fined or asked to demolish the conservatory. With the introduction of home information packs it is now a required to provide documentary evidence of where yor conservatory planning was obtained via a letter from your local council.

Many people are now hesitant to enter the property market with uncertaintly over the USA markets and another potential interest rise on the way mortgage approvals have gone down to the lowest in a few years.

So what does this have to do with a porch you may ask yourself ? if you cant afford to buy why not add extra space and enhance the value of the home you are living in at the moment.
