Crofton Home Improvement Centre

Here at Crofton we are the conservatory and orangery experts. Having completed more than 5000 installations, we feel that on experience alone no other local company can advise better. Since moving to our current location, we have specialised in offering our clients the complete package. Not only can we design any style of conservatory or Orangery in PVCu and hardwood using the latest computer design software; we can also offer flooring, furniture and fittings to compliment the installation.

The Victorian conservatory can be made with three sections, five sections and stretched (like the picture) These are the traditional conservatory we tend to associate with the Victorian era. Pretty and creating interesting shapes in the garden, they can often add an elegant style to many gardens. These are of course available in a choice of PVCu, Hardwood and aluminium with either polycarbornate or more often nowadays our super efficient Smart Glass. Just like the Victorian, the Edwardian has the same high pitched roof, but is square or rectangular in shape.

We only fit the very best in replacement windows and doors all our glazed replacement double glazing is A rated under the government WER scheme. This is a the best levels of insulation possible.

The largest conservatory roof manufacturer in the world is based in Clitheroe in Lancashire and producing in excess of 2500 roofs a week. Ultraframe have a total of 27 patents with another 14 applied for their conservatory systems. The magazine "House Beautiful" summed up Ultraframe best. When you consider during the average life of a conservatory, the roof is likely to encounter 50ft of rainfall, 450 days with snow falling, 57 days with hail the size of peas and of course, a wind that is often gale force-it needs to be good.

Here at Crofton we use only the best folding doors. The Eurocell door is the best PVCu system available in the UK. It is one of the few systems to feature an inline track. Most PVCu doors have the track bolted to the outside of the outerframe, this means they drop and cause problems. Eurocell door gives the perfect excuse to bring the outside in, without worrying about reliability. Want to see them in action, watch the video here. Maximum sizes are 900mm per bay with a minimum size of 600mm per section.

Its an unfortunate fact that we have to take very seriously the threat of break ins into Conservatories and Orangeries. Today we usethese roomsas 2nd lounges, dining rooms and we often have equipment such as TVs, Hifis, computers as well as other valuables. To be honest these extensionswere always seen as the easy option for a burgular. The cylinder where it joins in the middle is only connected with a very small amount of metal or plastic, this can be forced by either impact or more commonly pulling the cylinder, again effecting easy quick entry.

All our electricians are qualified to a minimum of 17th Edition, and part "P" certified which means you are in very safe hands.
