Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s a selection of frequently asked questions especially for you sceptics (you know who you are). 1. When you say ‘carpet’ what do you mean? We mean average size areas, say 10x12ft ish. But we don’t quibble if the areas are a little larger - it’s all done on fairness really. 2. Do you move furniture? Our pricing policy reflects the time it takes to clean working around furniture, rather than moving it. That said, we are for example, happy to move your three piece suite backwards and forwards cleaning under it and replacing it back into position. What we don’t price into the job at these discount prices is moving large pieces of furniture like bookcases, sideboards or wardrobes. Similarly we are not insured to move electrical items, in particular flat-screen tvs. Again we apply common sense and fairness to the situation and inevitable we do end up moving some furniture around, even at these discount prices. 3. Are there any ‘hidden’ extra costs? The prices quoted above are fully-inclusive and are the actual prices you will pay.

What's in a Name?

When we have the Alresford Society, the Alresford Art Society, & the Arts Society Alresford, the answer is - some confusion!

Repeatedly, albeit not too frequently, there have been cases of ‘mistaken identity’ over the years. These incidents have been rather amusing: like the speaker at the Art Society thinking she was addressing the Arts Society (note the additional ‘s’ in ‘Arts’ here); someone joining one society in mistake for another, and a very recent request to the Alresford Society to promote a local wood carving event, so over to the Art Society with that one.

So, what’s going on here? It’s time for some clarity and in a spirit of friendly cooperation, the three parties – which actually have three very different roles - agreed to spell things out here, in the pages of the well-read Itchen Valley Forum magazine. In addition to clarifying our relative positions, it is hoped we might also recruit a few more to our respective organisations.

The Alresford Society was founded in 1965. It is a ‘civic society’ (not to be confused with the more general term ‘civil society’ although some aims are similar) and is part of a wide body of such voluntary organisations, all ‘anchored’ in their local villages, towns and cities, and are for people who care about where they live. The Alresford Society is protective of the distinctive character and history of our built environment and the surrounding countryside; the quality of design in development, and local facilities and services. We work with the New Alresford Town Council, the Alresford Town Trust, the mid-Hampshire branch of the Campaign for Protection of Rural England, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, Friends of St John’s (which runs the Alresford Community Cinema, raising funds for the restoration of the clock on the church tower in 2022) and set up the Friends of the Arle to protect our lovely chalk stream and its wildlife. Our knowledgeable planning sub-group comments on significant local development proposals and we ensure members are carefully briefed on local district plans and consultations run by Winchester & Hampshire councils. Visit www. thealresfordsociety.co.uk to learn more.

The Alresford Art Society was set up by an Art Teacher at Eastleigh Technical College, also in 1965, who called a meeting in the Alresford Community Centre with a view to starting an art society in Alresford. Nearly 60 years later it is thriving. Most (but not necessarily all) of its members actively paint or sculpt and the society informs, promotes and encourages practitioners and enthusiasts alike who live in and around Alresford. Monthly talks and demonstrations of different media (watercolour, acrylic, pastels, etc.) are held and classes are open to all, to help budding and more experienced artists improve their techniques and expand their creative horizons. Open air sessions are held in the summer months and the annual exhibition at the Community Centre in Alresford demonstrates the high standards of local artists and is well worth visiting; 700 visitors attended this year! More information at www.artsociety.alresford.org

Next, let’s explain about The Arts Society Alresford; you probably knew it better as ‘NADFAS’. The National Association of Decorative & Fine Arts Society was founded in 1968 and the Alresford branch was set up in 1978. Its title was changed, though, by NADFAS Head Office in 2017 in a rebranding exercise to identify branches with their local community and surrounding areas. There are now many such local branches affiliated to NADFAS, still the national body, although it too has changed its name to The Arts Society! Local groups include The Arts Society Winchester, The Arts Society Meon Valley and The Arts Society Alton, and so on.

Its role is different again to both the Alresford Society and Alresford Art Society. Through a programme of lectures, visits, study days and heritage projects, it aims to broaden members’ knowledge and enjoyment of the decorative and fine arts. Expert lecturers are both knowledgeable and often entertaining, covering topics such as architecture, artists and designers, china, glass, furniture, jewellery, music, painting and more. And there are visits to country houses, exhibitions, gardens and places of interest. See https://theartssocietyalresford. org.uk/home.aspx

And now, following recent three-way discussions to find ways of clarifying our different roles, we have jointly prepared this article. And The Arts Society Alresford has agreed to include ‘formerly NADFAS’ on their website and literature to try to prevent future confusion. This is welcome and appreciated, and sounds like a workable way forward as all three organisations celebrate the New Year 2023.

Save £££'s on your Heating Bills and Keep your Home Warm and Secure this Winter

We are a family-run, reputable business based in Alresford with over 30 years’ experience in supplying and installing doors, windows and conservatories for domestic and commercial properties in Hampshire and the surrounding areas. We provide top-quality products at highly competitive prices, all of which come with a 10year guarantee.

Save Money

With gas and electric at an all time high having poorly fitted windows and doors can costs hundreds if not thousands in unnecessary heating bills. Expertly fitted uPVC windows can save up to 25% on heat loss in most homes! With the onset of the cold weather do you find yourself relying on your central heating more and more? If you want to save money on your energy bills, then investing in double/triple glazed windows to replace your single glazing would be the most sensible solution.

The airtight seal of double glazed windows provides many advantages. Heat will be unable to flow in and out, meaning it’s unable to escape once you’ve made your home warm and cosy. This means you won’t need to lean so heavily on your central heating, and you will find yourself reaching for the thermostat less often.

Stop Condensation

Condensation is also a common issue with windows in homes right across the country. This is caused as water vapour in the air building up on surfaces that are at lower temperature than the interior space. A build-up of condensation results in unsightly water droplets forming on your glass, which can lead to damp and black mould in your home. This not only looks unpleasant but can cause serious health problems.

Older Properties

For home owners with houses in conservation areas or homes that are listed buildings we offer high quality aluminium secondary glazing. This can be simply fitted without affecting the character of your home.

Other Advantages

Another advantage of replacing broken or inefficient windows and doors in your home, is the increase in value should you come to sell your property. Quality uPVC thermal rated windows will not only increase the insulation properties of your home but will improve your Energy Performance Certificate making your home more attractive to prospective buyers.

uPVC windows are also maintenance free and come in a range of colours to suit any taste or property style.

Replacement Doors

At Exclusive Double Glazing Ltd, we offer prompt and professional door installation services for domestic as well as commercial properties in Hampshire and the surrounding areas. All our doors are made to measure, manufactured in the UK and come with a full DGCOS guarantee. We supply and install - Front and rear property doors, uPVC doors, Composite doors, Solid core doors, French doors, Patio doors, Bi-folding doors.

Facias and Soffits

If your soffits and fascias are made of wood, exposure to the elements can cause

rot and leave your roof beams exposed. We offer modern uPVC alternatives that can withstand all types of weather conditions, that are low maintenance and do not rot. You can choose from a range of designs, colours and styles to suit your home.

Are you looking to have new windows and doors fitted in your home or business? Look no further than Exclusive Double Glazing Ltd. We supply and install a wide range of double and triple-glazed products, from new doors to conservatory windows. To find out more, simply contact us!
