Q: What is Certass?
A: Certification and self-assessment (Certass), was one of the original Quality Mark certification bodies. Now Certass has developed its own self-assessment scheme for the industry. The Statutory Instrument for Certass was laid before Parliament on 15th March 2006, with approval coming into force on 6th April 2006. Unlike similar schemes, Certass carry out their own vetting procedures on all applicants.

Q: What is Fensa:
A: The Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme (Fensa) was set up by the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF). It was created in response to the Building Regulations for England and Wales. Now, all replacement glazing in homes falls within the scope of the Building Regulations, so anyone who installs replacement Conservatories or doors has to comply with thermal performance standards and ensure they get a certificate of compliance either from Fensa or the Local Authority building control.

Q: Where do you get references for your trade professionals?
A: By asking their previous customers. To become a registered as a 'Trusted Local supplier', a trade professional has to be verified by us.

What is a UPVC Conservatory

A uPVC conservatory may also be known as PVC, pvc-u, or a plastic conservatory.

The most used material in conservatory manufacture is uPVC or unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (ridged plastic), also referred to as vinyl in America. The general reason that uPVC is used today in 100,000 of applications including upvc conservatory manufacture, is because uPVC is a thermoplastic a substance that loses its shape when heated and then becomes ridged again as it cools. Heat shapes uPVC into countless useful forms, so is easy to produce uPVC conservatory extrusions, which forms the upvc conservatory on the right.

Where additional strength is required the uPVC is reinforced with aluminium or other metals e.g. an upvc conservatory roof, upvc conservatory frames or doors. In some non-structure areas the uPVC is strong enough to support its weight e.g. some window frames

What are Hardwood Timber Conservatories

An alternative to uPVC conservatories is Hardwood conservatories. Perhaps you live in a listed building or a conservation area where planning requires you to have a Hardwood conservatory or perhaps you would like something different, to match your life style. A prestigious Hardwood conservatory will certainly provide this and more. Designs wise, you can have any design of conservatory you wish remembering it’s best for the conservatory to complement your property.

Conservatories are often referred to as Victorian conservatories or Edwardian conservatories, well sorry to disappoint you but the Victorians never had conservatories resembling current designs. These are adopted names we use today that’s why today's conservatory are referred to as Victorian conservatories or Edwardian conservatories.

A Hardwood conservatory would have been built by the Victorians for the growing of seeds and plants brought back from the tropics. Today Hardwood conservatories are very high tech and are used as a room to live in 52 weeks of the year.

Whether you are looking for a Hardwood conservatory to create additional living space or wish to relax and enjoy the ever changing seasons of Mother Nature from the warmth and comfort from your Hardwood conservatory. We hope you will find a design you like.

Planning Permission and Building Regulations:

Everything you need to know about Planning Permission and Building Regulations for your Conservatory

What is the difference between Planning Permission and Building Regulations?

Planning Permission and Building Regulations are often confused. Both are the responsibility of the Local Authority and basically, Planning Permission takes into consideration the aesthetic effect of a new building/extension on the surrounding homes and neighbourhood, whilst Building Regulations define how the structure must be constructed in terms of thermal efficiency etc.

Do I need Planning Permission?

Here is a summary of the basic facts. In most cases you will not require planning permission for your conservatory under the present legislation, unless you are adding a conservatory to a house that has already been extended. You may also need to check if your house is a ‘new build’ as developers sometimes place restrictions on them.

Listed below are some conditions that may attract planning permission:

• If you build within 2m of the boundary line and the highest point at the junction is 4m or more high.
• If your conservatory covers more than 50% of the original garden.
• If your planning development rights have been removed
• Grade II listed buildings. These may require a hardwood conservatory.
• Where a conservatory is 20m or less from a road or public footpath

Will my conservatory need to satisfy Building Regulations?

Listed below are some of the exemptions requirements, these criteria must be met for a conservatory to be classified as exempt:

• The conservatory roof must be made of at least 75% transparent or translucent material.
• The conservatory walls must be at least 50% wall glazing
• The conservatory floor area should not exceed 30 square metres.
• The conservatory must be constructed at ground level
• The conservatory must be separated from the property by means of a physical barrier/exterior lockable door.
• The conservatory has thermostatically controlled heating.
• The conservatory is not being attached to a listed building.
• The glazing satisfied the Building Regulations Part N.Shed I (eg: toughness/safety glass)
