Conservatories & Orangeries on the agenda as home-owners look to improvements
Author: Steven | Leave a Comment >>Home-owners across Lancashire and Cumbria are looking to conservatories, orangeries and other home improvements as a faltering property market forces movers to stay put and improve their homes.
The recent credit-crunch and well-documented fall in house prices has meant that many simply cannot afford to move home and are forced to seek home improvements to enhance their living space.
The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors recently reported that housing transactions are at their lowest point since 1978. According to research from Sainsbury’s Bank, this has led to 21% of homeowners contemplating improvements over the next 12 months as opposed to moving house.
Reports suggest that 5.3 million homes are planning some form of structural work – of these, 1.2 million are looking to build a conservatory.
As one of the most versatile ways to improve your home, conservatories are cool in summer, warm in winter…
How modern uPVC Windows and uPVC Doors can improve home security
Author: Steven | Leave a Comment >>It would be an obvious point to make that having new uPVC doors and uPVC windows fitted would provide several benefits to your house as a whole. The addition of these new features would undoubtedly increase the value of your home and the good news is that they do not have to detract from the external styling of the property either.

Energy efficiency is also another good reason for having new uPVC windows or uPVC doors fitted. This measure helps to save the environment by reducing your carbon footprint but it can also save money in your pocket by reducing energy bills.

Let us look to history for ideas on modern home improvement
Author: Steven | Leave a Comment >>As more people are looking for ways to increase the value of their homes or improve their living space due to the well documented recent downturn in the housing market, you could do a lot worse than consider the possibility of installing a Conservatory or an Orangery.
But what is the difference between the two and what leads to their enduring fascination with householders? To answer these questions we need to go back into history and examine the structures’ origins.
The Conservatory did exactly what it said on the tin originally. The name came from a combination of Latin and Italian and was quite literally a place to store and preserve food and was traditionally thought of as an un-glazed structure. It was only later, with the introduction of glazed structures that they were used to house and protect plants from the cold weather,…
