Has Anyone Used Lifestyle Conservatories In Worthing Or Hpk Building Services?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

I have paid Lifestyle Conservatories to construct a conservatory and they have sub contracted building works to HPK Building Services (Right Move). I highly suggest not using either of these firms!! Please let me know your experiences. Any comments welcome.

Building A Used Conservatory?

Monday, February 15th, 2010

I have found a used Conservatory on ebay that I am interested in. It is in good condition and has the roof frame but no roof panels. Can you just use corrugated plastic for the roof? Also how do I go about building a base for it? My garden is on a slope and there are about three steps up to the door that I would like the Conservatory to come from. Obviously I would like it built up to the same level as the door.
I do not know much about diy personally and a close friend who is quite good at most diy projects said they would have a go at putting it up for me.
Will this be too much for the average diyer especially as it will have to be raised quite a bit? Also would it cost a huge sum just to build the base? It is a full height Conservatory. I am assuming these are easier to build?
Anyone with any know how. I would very much appreciate your advise.

Has Anyone Used Futura Conservatories In Essex?

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Im looking to get a conservatory, I live in Essex, and i’ve found a company called Futura who seem to be quite good, but i’d just like to know if anyone has used them before. I’m new to yahoo but from reading some previous questions I understand that people can be reluctant to recommend companies incase they dont do a good job, so I promise not to hold anything against you, i’d really just like some comments if anyone can help. Thanks.

Has Anyone Used Lifestyle Conservatories In Worthing Before?

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

They installed a conservatory for me at the beginning of the year and When it first rained it leaked. I’ve tried and tried to get them out to fix it but they just ignore my calls. All there calls go through to a separate call center and you leave a message which they ignore. There call center number is 0800 0721511, however there office number is 01903 600610

Has Anyone Used Solar Inserts On A Conservatory Roof And, If So, Were They Effective?

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

I have read the promotional literature for some of these products and they sound excellent. However, I would rather hear from someone who has used them to get a realistic idea of their effectiveness.
They are supposed to reduce heat loss in the winter and cool the conservatory in the summer; do they really work?
