A recent report from economic consultancy Frontier Economics has suggested that those who offer draughty properties for sale should face fines.

DetailsThey were once available only in boring old grey – but aluminium windows have come a long way since the 1980s, and now come in a range of chic shades including black and charcoal.

DetailsWith summer on its way, more of us are starting to think about home improvements such as replacement windows, conservatories or orangeries. But with each of these projects representing a major investment, how do you ensure you get the best value for your money. How do you find an organisation you can trust? The answer…

DetailsA replacement conservatory roof could dramatically increase the amount of time you went to spend in your extension, while breathing new life into a home improvement which may have grown a little tired-looking over the years. And it may well be that, if the rest of your conservatory is structurally sound, the whole construction doesn’t…
DetailsIf you’re lucky enough to live in a listed building or a conservation area, there may be limits on what you can do when it comes to replacing your windows. Clearly, for properties of particular historic or architectural interest, any work done on them must maintain or enhance the area’s character. This doesn’t mean a…
