Make sure new double glazing lasts beyond a decade
Author: Martin | Leave a Comment >>As we start a new decade there remains no shortage of double glazing window companies looking for your business. However, you will no doubt want to make sure you choose a double glazing manufacturer, supplier and installer that is professional and reliable. So here are a few tips and things to consider to make sure any double glazing you buy lasts more than a decade!!
In these recessionary times, quite rightly, nobody wants to pay more than they need to, so it is important you do not put yourself under financial pressure by spending more than you can afford. Consequently, it is wise to get two to three quotes from different companies, not just for a price comparison, but more importantly for value for money,…

Order now to avoid paying VAT increase say Hazlemere
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>It may seem a long way off, but on 1st January 2010 VAT will increase to 17.5% from it current rate of 15%. This may not sound like much of an increase, but on a £20,000 new Conservatory or house full of double glazed windows and doors order, 2.5% represents a £500 increase to the customer.
Before tax and National Insurance the cost to tax paying clients of a £500 investment is probably nearer £800, so if you are thinking seriously of major home improvements and want to avoid paying the 2.5% VAT increase after 31st December 2009, then you really need to order very soon, particularly if you want a conservatory.
VAT is due at the tax point, which is when the goods are…
Hazlemere Windows support the BRC’s VAT stance
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>There are no doubts many businesses across the UK who will hope the Government delays its highly unpopular 2.5% VAT increase on December 31st.
The British Retail Consortium (BRC) has made a robust stance in calling for a delay to this Value Added Tax increase. The BRC has reinforced the nationwide plea by many UK retailers not to raise the current 15 per cent to 17.5 per cent VAT at the end of the year, given it is the busiest and lucrative time annually for the high street, and could potentially damage thousands of businesses within the sector.
A report released by the BRC in May announced that the VAT cut to 15 per cent during 2008 cost the retail industry a staggering £90m to…
A 7th high street retailer goes into administration
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>It started with Woolworths, then MFI, then Zavvi, the Officers Club, Whittards of Chelsea, Adams and now, according to BBC News, the French women’s clothing store chain Morgan has gone into administration.
With the income of many High Street retailers shrinking, combined with massively reduced margins caused by rising costs and heavy discounting, it is clear many retailers simply will not be able to cover all their outgoings, particularly in terms of rental and staff costs. Many retailers are tied into long term leases that they may be unable to get out of without going into administration.
2009 will no doubt be a testing time for retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers who have high fixed overheads. Through prudent management and decades of…
Could Woolworths’ end up being to the High Street, what Northern Rock was to Banking?
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>Today marks the start of the closure of Woolworths’ 800 High Street retail stores in batches. More than 200 Woolworths stores to close later today.
Locally the Woolworths in Aylesbury, Maidenhead and Uxbridge close today, Amersham and Windsor Woolworths’ close down on 30th December 2008, Slough and Watford on 2nd January and the Woolworths’ stores in Beaconsfield, Bracknell, High Wycombe, Reading and Thame close in the final batch of closures of Woolworths high street retail stores on Monday 5th January 2009.
Unless a last minute buyer is found over 27,000 jobs will go by Monday 5th January, not the greatest start to the New Year. However my concern is that just like Northern Rock…
Are the Woolworths retail chain’s major problems simply the thin end of the wedge for the High Street?
Author: Hazlemere Windows | Leave a Comment >>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…
