A: Yes we
offer a five-year guarantee on both materials and workmanship.
Note: Manufacturers
guarantees on fittings are not precluded by this and may be
longer in some cases.
Q: Are these buildings well insulated?
A: We recommend to you a choice of insulation systems.
It is very important to provide insulation in the roof. Heat
rises and the roof must be capable of stopping heat loss.
Double-glazing with draught seals is recommended for all our
office and accommodation buildings.
Our standard roof insulation system is fibreglass reinforced
bitumen shingle tile on tearproof membrane on 50mm powerdeck
urethane insulation on 19mm tgv timbers.
Q:
Will I need planning permission and what about building
regulations?
A: It is unusual for planning permissions to be
necessary; most of our buildings are within £permitted
development rights£
You should consult us about this as we are dealing with this
question every day and all sites are different. In any case
you should tell your neighbours about the project.
A good idea is to read our detailed paper on the planning
guidelines here>> Do
I need planning permission.htm
Planning and building regulations are separate issues. Again
we are dealing with this question daily and all sites are
different so talk to us if you have any concerns. We are fully
aware of both safety and environmental issues within the
building regulations.
Q: What foundations are required?
A: Your
building is designed and installed to be permanent therefore a
flat, stable and strong base is vital.
We recommend a solution for your site based on accessibility
and levels.
|
Sometimes
this is concrete and sometimes a timber base on pillars
or jacks. All sites are different. In all cases we give
consideration to the surrounding area of the garden and
the additional cost of landscaping around the base and
splash-back from rainfall. |
|
Q: Can I have plumbing installed?
A: Yes plumbing and drainage are parts of the project we advise on. There is always a way to achieve a suitable solution.
We have our own
sewage solution for situations where is is costly to reach the
main sewer.
Q: How soon after order will delivery and installation take
place?
|
A: Our
lead times vary from 4 weeks to 4 months depending on
the time of year. Before we accept your order we always
give a time window for project start. When your date is
confirmed we turn up on time and never leave the project
until it is complete to your satisfaction. |
|
Q: Do you have a show-site where I can look at the
buildings?
A: We have
moved our show-site from The Grosvenor Grden Centre. In
the mean time contact Noella to arrange meetings or building
viewings.
|
We have completed client projects all over the UK and many of our clients have agreed to show their building to prospective clients. We do not publish details of where these sites are and arrange visits individually with the client as appropriate. Noella
arranges this usually at an advanced stage of
negotiation. |
|
Q: Who are your installers?
A: At all times we have a member of our own staff on
your site. This is important as in all building projects
things can go wrong.
