4 Prepare a short list of questions for suppliers.
Salespeople are be nature going to extol the virtues of the products that they sell and invariably show
you all the very best points of their products and the company they work for. In order for you to
ensure that you are not blinded by the ‘positive patter’, a short list of questions prepared in advance
can ensure that you always get the answers to certain questions from each and every supplier that
you may be considering to employ to carry out the installation of a Solid or Tiled Conservatory Roof.
Find below some sample questions, some of which you may find useful to ask a potential supplier:
How long has your company been installing this product
What length of guarantee does your company offer
Are you a registered installer of this particular system
Do you employ your own installation teams
Do you offer an insurance backed guarantee
Do you apply for LABC Certification on my behalf
Is any electrical work signed off by a qualified electrician
Does your estimate / quotation include VAT
Do we have a full survey prior to manufacture and installation
Are you satisfied that my conservatory is suitable for your products
Is your system LABC approved or holds Registered Detail Certification
How long does the installation take from start to finish
Does your company have a dedicated customer care contact number
Am I able to see any examples of similar work you have carried out
What are my tile or slate options with your system
What are my lighting options with your system
What type of Roof Windows are available with your system
Do you remove all debris and rubbish from the site after installation
What does your company guarantee cover
Does your company have insurance to cover any instances of damage to flooring or furniture
How much is the deposit
When am I expected to pay the balance
Of course you may have other specific questions regarding your particular project, but by making a list
and asking the same questions to every supplier you may be considering, you can be sure you will be
able to make the most informed decision when choosing the company to place your business with.
5 Set your budget.
Most of the Solid or Tiled Conservatory Roof systems available on the market have been around for a
number of years, and as such, there are now guideline prices or average prices which you would
expect to pay, dependent on the size and style of your existing room along with your chosen optional
extras including lighting, roof windows and internal finishes. However, as is always the case, companies
that supply and install these roofs may offer better deals at certain times of the year, or have promotions
in place which could mean saving a good deal of money by shopping around.
When you set out on your project to buy a Solid or Tiled Conservatory Roof, you should get an idea
