Bringing the outside in…

Natural Light and space are among the popular hallmarks of modern homes in 2017.

You can add bold and unique visual element to your property with a GLASS ROOF EXTENSION. The glass naturally creates a light living space and the beauty of these extensions is that they can be tailor-made into even the most testing of spaces, letting in an unrivalled amount of daylight.

When we investigate new apartments or houses with a view to moving, a feeling of space with plenty of natural light in evidence is what we are searching for. It not only makes us feel better but it’s a great way to help reduce energy costs.

Architects and developers know that these elements sell their homes to the pubic and plan accordingly. But, it may not be quite so easy to harness plenty of natural light and create more space in less modern properties.

Most of the homes built in the UK after World War 2 favoured smaller, more intimate rooms which were relatively cheap to heat, an this legacy has continued to a lesser extent into the early Noughties.

However, in the last 10 years or so in particular, more of us are demanding open plan living areas with as much natural light as we can get. In fact, thought solar panels in the roof more and more of us even turn natural sunlight to domestic energy to cut household bills.

Getting more fresh air into your home along with that vital light and creating more space for growing families – or simply giving yourself more room to breathe – can be costly if you have to think about remodelling homes

or building on large extensions or wings.

So, more and more people are going for a range of other options that still help to bring the outside inside.

CONSERVATORIES are particularly popular for this, not only because they come in such a variety of sixes and styles to suite all kinds of properties but because they are now cheaper and more efficient than ever.

Conservatories enlarge homes and can genuinely enhance the look of a property. They offer a private, bright space for hobbies, for family time or just for reading alone.

They also bring people closer to their gardens, both physically and emotionally, and allow a new perspective on greenery without having to suffer from the vagaries of the British climate.

ORANGERIES are another popular addition to homes, generating extra living space and creating a special place to live – and work if you prefer – in a private but bright room. They tend to contain more brickwork than glass, can be a bigger project to create, but always add elegance to homes.

TILED ROOF EXTENSIONS are also designed to look and function like a permanent part of the property. This additional space makes your house a more desirable place to live and, should you come to sell your property, immediately allows your wouldbe buyers to envisage using that extra room, for their lifestyle needs.

To open up kitchen and living areas, how about installing BIFOLDING DOORS? These clever additions not only look stylish but offer a large area bringing in light, and they can easily fold back to allow in fresh air and the beauty of your garden.

Another clever way to enjoy the outside and still protect yourself from the less attractive parts of the British weather is to install an AWNING. These handsome, often brightly coloured additions to your home allow you to dine or just sit outside, away from the sun or even drizzle, as an easy extension of your lifestyle.

Many of us enjoy our gardens and its lovely, not only to see close up the fruits of you labours when it comes to admiring the plants, flowers and other greenery, but also because of health benefits.

So it’s worth crafting a lifestyle that takes advantage of Nature’s free gifts, and open up your home to all the best possibilities of living.

Please note: Planning permission may be required for some cases. Check with your local planning authority.

Transform your existing conservatory into a whole new room...the way you intended

C

onservatory Roof Insulation. com is an insulation solution that transforms the inside of your conservatory roof to give it a fully insulated, strong and smooth plastered or uPVC finish, whilst keeping the original shape of your roof i.e. not a flat ceiling, hence there is no light reduction.

The family-run business, based in Lytham St Annes, was founded in 2009 and is one of the first companies to offer this product in the UK, alongside its original inventor.

After cross-ventiliating the ceiling, Conservatory Roof Insulation.com installs a high performance composite insulation to the inside ceiling of the conservatory, combining multiple layers of reflective and insulating materials to reduce heat loss by up to 90 per cent.

noise is reduced by up to 95 per cent, so you can enjoy that dinner party without worrying whether it’s going to rain!

Before:

Amazingly it has all these benefits, whilst at the same time costing less on average than ceiling blinds. Conservatory Roof Insulation.com can provide you with a free no obligation survey for your conservatory.

TOO HOT IN SUMMER,

TOO COLD IN WINTER?

No other conservatory insulation solution can deliver anywhere near this figure. Your conservatory will stay warm in the winter and prevent the ‘greenhouse effect’ during summer.

You’ll therefore need to use far less energy to keep your conservatory warm, drastically reducing energy costs.

After the support framework, cross ventilation, insulation and panelling is installed, the conservatory ceiling will them be plastered to perfection, allowing it to be painted in the colour of your choice, or uPVC cladding finish, which require no painting. The entire process takes just two days to complete. Your conservatory ceiling will no longer look like a conservatory ceiling, but instead will match perfectly with all the other rooms of our house.

And because the entire conservatory will be strengthened and insulated, rain

Look up! And get more space at home for under £345

W

e’d all like more room at home. But not everyone can afford to move or extend. So what if there was a way to get extra space for just a few hundred pounds, ready to use in less than a day? In truth, that space is already there. It’s just not being used to its full potential.

For most, the loft is a dark and dingy place visited on rare occasions; a precarious scramble across dusty beams with torch in hand, grabbing what’s needed then clambering back past boxes filled with long forgotten belongings. But that dark and dingy place is worth thousands. In fact, it takes up a third of the floorspace in an average home. So shouldn’t we be making the most of it?

And that’s where More Than Loft Ladders (MTLL) comes in. Founded in Bolton ten years ago, MTLL specialises in generating space by making our lofts easily accessible. The latest MTLL franchise is based

in Preston covering Preston, Chorley and the Fylde Coast and is run by skilled local Iain Caldwell who says the company’s no-frills approach is what most people are looking for.

“We’re not selling £15,000 loft conversions,” says Iain. “This is a low-cost and simple alternative. For just £287+VAT you can get; a high quality loft ladder fitted for total ease of use and upmost safety, a fitted light to illuminate your attic space with a switch placed in a safe but easy to reach location and some high quality and durable loft boarding to make the space safe and secure. We can also fit a draft-proof loft hatch if required from only £55.”

The price customers are quoted is the price they will pay, with no additional call out charges. Iain provides a free guarantee on all parts and labour too.

Love your Beach - St Annes

K

eep Britain tidy Chief-Exec, Allison Ogden-Newton, praises clean up efforts on Fylde Coast as part of Great British Spring Clean.

Allison Ogden-Newton visited the Fylde coast yesterday to join a group of more than twenty volunteers who this week pledged their time to Keep Britain Tidy’s Great British Spring Clean.

The volunteer group have however been established for four years and meet each week to clean the beach surrounding St Anne’s Pier. As local residents who want to enjoy the beach where they live they take a ‘hands-on’ approach to addressing the litter issue in order to keep the area beautiful.

With Allison’s help, on the 7th March the group collected approx. twenty six bags of litter in less than two hours from St Annes beach around the pier and sand dunes with the volunteers stating this volume was not unusual.

Ian Roberts, a regular volunteer and St Anne’s resident 34

stated, “The litter issue is ongoing in the area. A lot of it gets washed in from the sea, things that shouldn’t have been flushed down the toilet or waste from ships but we regularly see people drop litter on the beach.

Our biggest gripe is people not clearing up after their dogs! People don’t consider the effect this has; not cleaning your dog poo makes the sea unsafe too.

We’ve got good bathing water quality at the moment, second to excellent, and we don’t want this to drop, we all need to do our bit to protect the beaches.”

Allison Ogden-Newton, Keep Britain Tidy CEO adds, “The group at St Anne’s are a true inspiration, real Litter Heroes and examples of the thousands of others that came together last weekend for the Great British Spring Clean. In the North West alone there were over 600 events organised which highlights the real passion for cleaning up our beaches and beyond.”

“I was also impressed with the work many of the volunteers had done as part of the Sand Dunes project, collecting people’s old Christmas trees and building natural sea defences into the dunes. It’s a really innovative way of protecting the coastline and re-cycling what would be initially be waste, as we say at Keep Britain Tidy; waste-less, live more!”
