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.

Draught Proofing

Paxton Restoration uses an industry-standard draught proofing technique using brush pile added to the staff beads and parting beads of sash windows.

The white nylon brush pile is inserted into a channel on the rear of the staff bead and parting bead. The look is very discreet. We also add draught proofing to the meeting rail and top rail of the sash window pair to seal every edge.

The brush pile is made of high density polypropylene yarn, siliconised to repel water, and tested to BS7386. It does not perish, and life should comfortably exceed ten years. It is possible to remove and replace the brush pile for decorating or if it becomes excessively worn, or gets accidentally painted over.

Simple and low-cost draught proofing makes a massive difference. Without draught proofing, a building with sash windows might have 2.5 - 3.0 air changes per hour. By installing draught proofing, air-change rates are significantly reduced to 0.4 per hour, a massive 750% fold improvement before even considering the double-glazing aspect.

Customers are often surprised how effective this low-cost process is and the instant improvements to their previously “cold room”. We often hear customer’s feedback about their reduced energy bills.
