Help cut the VAT on Home Improvements

Paxton Guys are Tough Guys

A few weeks ago, two of our team, Cj and Carl, took part in the "Tough Guys" challenge.

After two and a half hours of voluntarily jumping into hyperthermia inducing icy waters and leaping over flaming pits, a few rotten window cills are a mere crumb - not even a piece of cake.

See our news tab for photos.

The Federation of Master Builders asks - Sign our Petition to Cut VAT on Home Improvements and says;

In March, the Chancellor of the Exchequer will have another opportunity to make a real difference to homeowners and small builders by reducing VAT from 20% to 5% for all home repair, maintenance and improvement work in the 2012 Budget. Other European countries have already taken this step to help improve the quality of their existing housing, protect consumers from VAT evading rogue traders, and increase employment. A cut in VAT would significantly reduce the competitive advantage of rogue traders who offer a cheap deal but are unable to provide a proper written contract or any kind of paperwork. Please sign our Cut the VAT petition now and ask the Chancellor to make important home repairs more affordable.

Frequently Asked Questions

NARROW PROFILE DOUBLE GLAZING

What Is a U-Value?

To put it simply, U-Value measures the rate of heat loss through the roof, external walls, ground floor and windows of a building. Thus in all aspects of home design one should strive for the lowest U-Values possible because the lower the U-value - the less heat that is needlessly escaping.

The calculation of U-values can be rather complex - it is measured as the amount of heat lost through a one square meter of the material for every degree difference in temperature either side of the material. It is indicated in units of Watts per Meter Squared per Degree Kelvin or W/m2K.

Maximum U-Values required by law under Approved Document L of the UK Building Regulations for windows are 1.6U for all replacement windows, since 1st October 2010.
