Yes, you will need to clean your uPVC conservatory. When you hear that it’s maintenance free – this basically means that you will not have to paint it!! Your uPVC conservatory will require cleaning and the locks and hinges oiled from time to time, bit like your car.

Yes – we would recommend that you consider Opal roof sheets which will reflect some of the sun’s rays away and help to reduce the solar gain from the sun. Opal roof sheets will help to protect you and your furniture from the sun’s rays and will help to keep your conservatory looking light even on a dull day. The other advantage is that at night the opal roof will reflect the light from your lighting back into your conservatory.

In respect of a Lean 2 style of conservatory, we will supply a low-pitch roof to overcome the height-restriction. In respect of a Victorian or Edwardian style of conservatory, a back-box gutter will be required. This means that Vantage will supply a pitched roof that will slope down at the back of the conservatory to overcome any height restriction. This will be classed as a Bespoke conservatory – please contact us for a price check.

Vantage currently works within a 25 mile radius of Spalding covering Grantham, Stamford, Kings Lynn and Peterborough.

Vantage is unique as, in our bid to bring the double glazing industry right up to date, we have put our customers in the driving seat so that they can cost up their own project – be it windows, doors or conservatories. No other double glazing company in our region offers this unique facility. Smart priced – pressure salesmen free.

Vantage has successfully cut out those high pressure-salesmen and passed on their commission direct to our customers. No commission salesman will ever visit your home and try to sell you more than you can afford. You choose, design and cost what you want to buy and you contact us only when you are ready to place an order. A member from the Vantage team will then visit your home to make sure that everything has been costed correctly and confirm your order.

Very – by utilising the information we have provided here. If you prefer that piece of paper an information pack can be requested by ‘phone. If you get stuck there will always be a member from the Vantage team on hand to give you advice – you can either send an email or ‘phone.

In most circumstances, once you and a contractor have signed a contract, it becomes a legal agreement that is binding on both parties and can be enforced through court action.

However, consumers are offered protection against "high pressure" door-to-door sales tactics by giving consumers a cooling-off period during which they can change their minds and cancel a contract. However, these laws only apply to contracts signed in your home.

Where this consumer protection exists, there is a specified period of time during which you can cancel a contract without penalty – 7 days.

If you are looking for something that little bit special or out of the ordinary – a Bespoke unit or conservatory – then bespoke quotes for windows, doors and conservatories are available upon request. Advice in respect of the design will also be made available.

No, Vantage will not be providing seasonal specials or BOGOF deals. In short, the price you see will be the price you get – all year round!

Yes, you can. We have a Local Independent Financial Advisor offering free, friendly advice across the financial services sectors. One on one professional advice is given to help you find the perfect product for your requirements. Mortgages, re-mortgages and personal loans can also be arranged - FSA regulated.

In respect of windows and doors, from receipt of the signed order and deposit, your order will be fitted within 4-6 weeks.

In respect of a conservatory, from receipt of the signed order and deposit, your order will be fitted within 6-10 weeks. However, if planning permission is required, your order will be fitted within 6-10 weeks from receipt of the planning permission approval.

No problems – we will do all the necessary paperwork on your behalf and our Architects will liaise with the Local Planning Authority. There will be two fees that will have to be paid – the Architect’s and the Local Planning Authority’s. These will be invoiced separately from your order from Vantage and will not be a part of the Vantage conservatory order. Click here for more information on building regulations.

In England and Wales you will not usually require planning permission provided you do not exceed the permitted development limit for your property (which is normally between 50-70 cubic metres). If you have already had an extension then it is likely that planning permission will be required for your conservatory.

Planning permission will always be required in respect of Grade I, II & III listed buildings and conservation areas.

If you have any doubts, we will be only too pleased to advise you.

Generally speaking conservatories on residential properties are exempt from Building Regulations.

Below are examples in respect of some of the Exemption Criteria. These criteria must be met for a conservatory to be classified as exempt.

1. The conservatory has a completely transparent or translucent roof.
2. The conservatory has an internal floor area not exceeding 30 square metres.
3. The conservatory is sited at ground level.
4. The conservatory is permanently separated from the remainder of the property by means of a door – ie not open plan.
5. The conservatory does not contain any drainage facilities (ie sink, WC or washing machine).

At the time of ordering a Vantage conservatory, we will complete the necessary paperwork on your behalf which will be forwarded to your Local Planning Authority. Your Local Planning Authority will then forward you confirmation in respect of whether your proposed conservatory is, in fact, exempt or not. Your Exemption Certificate is an IMPORTANT document which you MUST keep as you will need it if and when you move house.

Very, we offer unbeatable protection for your home and family – Duraflex internally glazed frames; Shoot Bolt locking system, as standard, on all house and conservatory windows; Saracen friction hinges which are made of high grade stainless steel and lock deep into the end caps made from ICI Verton – a material used in aerospace and automotive industries.

40% of forced entries into houses were made through downstairs’ casement windows. It can only take as little as 20 seconds to jemmy open a typical window lock, If this doesn’t work, most ordinary friction hinges can be levered open just as easily.

At the turn of a handle a centre deadlock secures the window as well as shoot bolts which locate into Cylon Composite keeps, secured to the window frame. The bolts themselves are made from high strength brass alloy, making the window virtually impossible to force open.

Extra security can be offered with glazing beads fitted internally – preventing the removal of the glass from the outside.

Handles automatically lock when shut but will open at the press of a button for extra safety in case of fire.

Saracen friction hinges are made of high grade stainless steel and lock deep into end caps made from ICI Verton – material used in aerospace and automotive industries.

All of this makes the hinge 4 times more resistant to attack than conventional hinges.

Insurance approved locks are fitted, as standard, to all our doors. Our locks feature twin tapered hooks, rollers and robust central dead bolt. The rollers smoothly guide the hook into position enabling the inward facing hooks with 28mm projection to secure the door into the frame.

No, the Directors made the conscious decision that, because a large proportion of our business will be supplying and fitting conservatories, which may require planning permission, to go down the route of utilising Local Authorities in respect of Building Regulations – Part ‘L’. Every window and door installation will be inspected by your Local Authority Building Control who will issue a completion certificate compliant with Government standards. A small fee will be invoiced separately via the Local Authority. Please contact us and we will be delighted to advise you in respect of how this procedure works and the fees, etc.
