No-one should ever leave themselves in this position, but unless they shop around for the cheapest tariffs and invest in double glazing in Lancashire they will have no choice in the matter. Planet South Lakes understands this only too well which is why we urge anyone struggling to pay for energy to get their windows replaced at the very first opportunity.

Our fabulous range of windows are each designed…

The ad, produced by Plymouth creative agency Marett, cleverly combines and reworks the classic Goldilocks and Three Little Pigs fairy tales in 3D and brings them together to highlight how double glazing in Cumbria can add much-needed security to a home.

Minus the Three Bears and the Wolf, the narrative of the advert shows Goldilocks coming across the Three Little Pigs home in her search for porridge. However, her attempts to break into the home of the Three Little Pigs home via the windows proves to be unsuccessful as their new Planet Windows manage to stay firm in the face of adversity.

Planet, who also specialise in manufacturing and fitting conservatories in Lancashire, believed that a an entirely new…

It Goes Wrong!

You may be quite nifty with a hammer, a professor with a screwdriver, but when it comes to large projects, perhaps you should think twice about Doing It Yo’self.

For example take this Replacement Door that was fitted from the rear, the proprietor stupidly forgetting there was a difference in floor level on the other side.

There are several home improvement companies that offer good quality products for a decent price.

So if you’re looking at doing some good ol’ fashioned DIY, get a quote from Planet South Lakes first and see if it’s worth saving the hassle (and the pain) involved.

Being the forerunner to the modern conservatory, often with…

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…

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.

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,…

The west coast regions such as Cornwall, Wales, South Cumbria & Barrow have bared the brunt of this battering and Planet South Lakes cannot stress enough the importance of having a pre winter check up.

The recent high winds have littered our streets and gardens with leaves & twigs from many trees. This coupled with the torrential rain which has dislodged much of the moss which grows on many roofs has highly increased the chances of a blockage in either your guttering or drainpipes from this debris.

When a drainpipe is blocked with dislodged moss and/or leaves the water in the guttering cannot drain away.  Ineffective drainage can lead on to…
