A Gable End Conservatory in Hazlemere Windows High Wycombe Showroom

With many property owners now deciding to improve their dwelling rather than move, it makes sense to make the best use of your home, maximing the quality of life it affords, whilst achieving long term reduction in energy bills by ensuring the property is well insulated, has an efficient boiler and “A” rated double glazing. The technology and quality of products in the marketplace today, are far more advanced than when I had my entire house in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire fitted with the replacement double glazed windows and doors by Hazlemere Windows in 1994. Back then, K Glass was a relatively new thing and we have benefited from it, but it is only recently windows have been developed with a thermal break that delivers an “A” rating, the highest Energy Rating possible according to the Energy Saving Trust. In 2007, Hazlemere were the first UK company to design, manufacture and install a dual frame aluminium ”A” rated window system as endorsed by the British Fenestration Rating Council and the Energy Saving Trust.

To ensure you save energy and therefore money, it is vitally important to get the right products and materials for your particular property, so why not take advantage of the no obligation free expert help and advice offering by Hazlemere Windows Consultants, who have decades of experience? Also as Independent Manufacturers and leading home improvement specialists, the Hazlemere Group is not tied to any particular replacement double glazing system or product, offering a wide range of aluminium and UPVC windows, doors and conservatories. For a free no obligation consultation with an industry expert, simply FREEPHONE 08000 825 825 or email improve@hazlemere.co.uk or visit Hazlemere’s High Wycombe Showroom, your local Home Improvement Centre, which is open 7 days a week.

“At least now we can fully concentrate on the League”

Going out away to Eastwood Town 2-0 in the 2nd round of the FA Cup is bitterly disappointing as a Wycombe Wanderers fan, yet it may be a blessing? We are already thankfully out of the JP Trophy, Carling Cup and now FA Cup, so only have Coca Cola League Two to concentrate on, so hopefully the lads, and the former England Under 21’s Manager Peter Taylor (Wycombe Wanderers Football Club’s current Manager), will now be fully focused on gaining promotion. Yes, i would rather have been in the FA Cup 3rd Round draw, but you have to look on the bright side, and hope we don’t come down with the Christmas decorations!

Are the Woolworths retail chain’s major problems simply the thin end of the wedge for the High Street?

With both MFI and Woolworth’s in administration, British retailing looks bleak, especially with others like Currys, PC World and Dixons saying profits are down. MFI seemed to lose their way several years ago when they tried to move up market away from their original marketplace, and instead of being able to buy goods and take them home you now have to order them and wait – No wonder IKEA have done so well as they have filled the void MFI for some unknown reason appeared to have vacated.

Unlike MFI, Woolworth’s is a High Street brand that would be very sad if it closed. Woolworths have 3 retail outlets local to Hazlemere Windows in Amersham, Beaconsfield and High Wycombe. Woolworths have been in the High Street in High Wycombe since 1969, and a major employer in the town, so it would be a blow if they do not come out of administration. There is an article about the current plight of Woolworth’s High Wycombe Superstore on the Bucks Free Press website by Business Journalist, Neil Phillips.

Retail outlets simply can not sustain their outgoings with rising utlilty charges, labour costs and “greedy” landlords wanting rent increases. If landlords want to insure against empty High Streets they will have to re-adjust their expectations, as even existing leases and covenants will be worthless if the businesses go into liquidation. Lets hope Worthworths is not the thin end of the wedge as Northern Rock was to the banking sector!

London Wasps upstaged by Wycombe Wanderers

Since London Wasps moved from Loftus Road to Adams Park they have won the Premiership, Heineken Cup and dominated Club Rugby Union – until this season. With 7 Guinness Premiership matches played, London Wasps have only mustered one win and are second bottom. Fair enough, a lot of their players have been on International Duty, but so have other Clubs.

Adams Park is no longer the fortress it was for London Wasps. Instead, their landlords, Wycombe Wanderers from Coca-Cola League Two, who Hazlemere Windows have been sponsoring for years, are showing up their tenants by not only being top of the League after 17 matches, but also unbeaten in the League, in fact going into December 2008 the Blues are the only unbeaten professional football team in the UK.

Germany had not lost in Berlin since 1973

It was not just the winning 2-1 last night, but the performance that brought this so called “friendly” match alive. It was great to see England outclassing Germany on their own soil. John Terry proved his credentials as a leader by taking full responsibility for Germany’s equalizer, when it was clear he had little help from Scott Carson. For Terry to get such an excellent winner and be the first footballing side to beat Germany in Berlin since 1973, demonstrates how far he and England have come under England Manager Fabio Cappello. Well done lads, a great watch!

Gas prices could come down?

On Radio 5 Live yesterday a guest speculated that the UK Government would announce incentives for Improving Homes next week. This will be apparently aimed at improving the existing housing stock, saving energy and reducing energy costs for consumers. These energy saving initiatives are said to include assistance with inefficient boilers, new energy rated double glazed replacement windows and insulation. 

Gas prices could come down? The Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband has met with the largest six UK energy companies twice in the last month to encourage them to bring down retail gas and electricity prices. According to the Domestic Energy Assessors website “Even if costs of gas and electricity do go down, consumers can still make further savings by installing insulation, double glazing and other measures.”
