Now they tell us! Home owners 30th September deadline
Author: Martin | Leave a Comment >>Following an announcement by FENSA yesterday, if you are a commercial or domestic UK property owner you really do need to be aware of important imminent changes in legislation that will affect what glazing products you legally must buy if installing on or after 1st October 2010, plus the fact that the double glazing industry has only just found out that it and property owners only have until 30th September to install products that comply with current standards.
Major Building Regulations changes come into effect on 1st October 2010, as published by HM Government earlier this month in approved document L1B entitled “Conservation of fuel and power in existing dwellings” (and L1A “new dwellings”). Just in fenestration terms alone, these changes to Part L of…
Tips on how to save money buying double glazing
Author: Martin | Leave a Comment >>1. Remember nothing is “free”
Nothing is free, so whatever the inducement be it “free” installation, no VAT (which of course legally has to be paid by the company you buy from if they are VAT registered), even scrappage schemes, they all might sound good but they all have to be paid for, so will therefore be built into the price of the windows or the “extras”. Ensure you compare a like for like final fitted price.
2. Negotiate
Whether it is on price, or on specification, negotiate to get the best product within your budget, it is always worth trying to explore the options to ensure you are comfortable with the investment decision you come to.
3. Trade windows and doors

The Government finally publish important energy saving changes to Part L of the UK Building Regulations
Author: Martin | Leave a Comment >>This week finally saw the publication by the UK Government of the new Building Regulations for existing and new dwellings. I downloaded the online version of L1B “Conservation of fuel and power in existing dwellings” as these major changes come into effect now for all property owners in England and Wales who will be installing windows and doors from 1st October 2010. The main purpose of these far more onerous requirements is to legally obligate UK home owners to fit high performance energy efficient energy saving windows and doors if on or after 1st October 2010 they a) replace existing any windows/doors, b) have an extension or c) build a new premises. There is currently no obligation to replace existing windows, even if old…

Testimonials by satisfied Hazlemere Windows customers
Author: Martin | Leave a Comment >>I don’t know about you, but whatever the product is that a company is promoting or selling, I am always wary about testimonials from “satisfied customers”. Some testimonials one reads about or sees on the TV seem to me to be too good to be true, or too perfect. Maybe it is just me, but I am always sceptical about certain “claims” of some companies about their products.
So why should you believe anything I say about Hazlemere Windows, Doors and Conservatories? All I can do is give you my word that I have personally been to all thirty-two of the installations featured on the customer testimonials page on the Hazlemere Window Company’s website, the proof being that it was in fact myself that…
