Warning from Thames Valley Police about rogue traders

Author: Hazlemere Windows  |  Leave a Comment >>

Hazlemere Window Company Ltd received the following Community Message by email on 4th October 2011 from Thames Valley Police:

“Last week, an elderly lady in Hughenden Valley was approached at the door by someone informing her that there had been a legal dispute concerning the quality of the guttering fitted on her house. As a result of this, the caller said that they were in a position to supply and fit replacements free of charge.

The lady was already aware that her guttering was in need of some attention, so she agreed to these people coming to her house the next day to do the work. After they had started the work, she became concerned and she consulted a friend who recommended that she should…

Sadly, there is still lots more room for double glazing persons with honesty and integrity

Author: Hazlemere Windows  |  Leave a Comment >>

I was asked by Hazlemere Windows Sales Director Tony Beale if I would “go on the road” in July and August 2011 to help assess how Hazlemere’s latest technologically advanced thermally efficient energy rated aluminium and UPVC windows and doors, new brochures, new 8,000 sq.ft. High Wycombe retail home improvement Showroom and new website www.hazlemerewindows.co.uk are being received by consumers throughout Bucks, Berks, Oxfordshire and Middlesex.

Another aim was also to actually augment sales during the school summer holidays by selling some replacement double glazed windows and doors as well as find out how our company is perceived in the marketplace. I am approaching the task was with “a warts and all” straight down the line free consultation about what the options and costs…

Successful launch of energy saving glazing products

Author: Hazlemere Windows  |  Leave a Comment >>

The feedback since the opening of Hazlemere Windows new 8,000 square feet showroom from the local media, customers and the double glazing industry Trade Press representatives who have been round the showroom is very positive, genuinely complimentary and the sort of reaction I had hoped for.The visitors I have spoke to say the reason they are so impressed is largely down to the very high quality and range of aluminium. composite and UPVC products on display in an attractive range of colours, which is a real encouragement to not only me, but also the Directors and staff who had worked so hard to build the new showroom.The new Buckinghamshire showroom is part of an ongoing partnership with Conservatory Outlet who are Hazlemere Windows UPVC manufacturers,…

Don’t let retailers fob you off with a 12 month guarantee

Author: Hazlemere Windows  |  Leave a Comment >>

I recently read an article in the “Your Money” business section of the BBC website, entitled “Five consumer laws you really ought to know“, which confirmed other articles I had read about the Sale of Goods Act in the UK. Essentially goods have to be “fit for purpose”, so if there is an expectation goods should last six years, consumers more or less have a six year guarantee (there are exceptions!), regardless of whether or not the retailer and/or manufacturer is only offering a 12 month guarantee.

Logically, my thinking is that if retailers or manufacturers offer you an extended warranty on any product (usually an additional 2-4 years), I assume they do expect their products to last at least that long, or surely…

Only 30 days left to order replacement windows/doors!

Author: Martin  |  Leave a Comment >>

The one thing I’ve found at Hazlemere Windows, is that they faithfully communicate with the growing numbers of customers, year on year, keeping them up to date with the many technological advances and legal changes (constantly occuring it seems!) affecting the double glazing industry.

The Hazlemere Group wrote to every single customer/household on their database in June 2010, informing them of the significant changes to the building regulations after 30th September 2010. Property owners now only have 30 days including today to purchase our most affordable windows that meet current legal requirements. From 1st October 2010 onwards, we will only be able to provide them with windows that have an energy rating of C or higher.

I do however think it is important to point…

Should one be wary of firms offering quick delivery?

Author: Martin  |  Leave a Comment >>

Absolutely is my personal view, as the last thing one wants from a double glazing company is a poor, rushed, miss-measured, badly fitted, wrongly specified or a low quality product, which can result in endless hassle trying to get it sorted. In my experience to date within the double glazing industry, it is better to take one’s time chosing the best suited energy saving product (and supplier) for your property, than run the risk of ending up with a second rate poorly installed product.

When looking at double glazing, take advantage of well established independent local firms that offer a genuine no obligation free home consultation by an experienced expert. From the outset, advise every firm you approach that you will not tolerate any…

We only go so far…to ensure after sales service delivery

Author: Martin  |  Leave a Comment >>

Whilst Hazlemere Commercial operate throughout the UK on large projects manufacturing and installing double glazed aluminium commercial windows, doors and curtain walling, the retail division tends to work in a 50 mile radius of High Wycombe in Bucks. The reason for this is historically distance, both in terms of 3 different industry professionals attending site a minimum of three times for any retail replacement window or door contract (i.e. a consultant, a surveyor and an installer).

Also Hazlemere Windows, Doors and Conservatories have a dedicated Service Department, run by an experienced Service Manager with two full time expert Service Engineers, who not only assist in delivering Hazlemere’s comprehensive ten year guarantee, but repair double glazed windows, doors and conservatories installed by other double glazing…
