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.

Narrow Profile Double Glazing

Paxton can install narrow profile double glazed units into existing sash window pairs and casements.

Historically, fitting double glazing to existing single glazed sash windows has always been difficult, as many sash windows are too narrow to support the additional rebate depth required by double glazed units.

Developments in glazing technology mean Paxton can now offer discreet and ground-breaking
narrow-profile double glazed units, from 11mm rebate depth. This extends the possibility of fitting
double glazed units to a majority of existing box frame and sash windows, with great cost savings by comparison.

Low E (Emissivity) glass reflects long wave radiation back into the room, whilst rejecting a majority of UV radiation from the outside yet allowing maximum visible light to pass. In this way Low E units
help keep rooms cool in summer and warm in winter. Paxton uses leading brands Slimlite®(Pilkington) and Timbalite® (Saint-Gobain) both using Low E technology combined with an energy efficient warm edge spacer and filled with insulating Inert Gasses ideal for compression (krypton and xenon).

In terms of the environmental impact, single glazing is rated at 5.5 – 6 U-value, whereas the double glazed units improve the thermal efficiency between 1.2 and .9 U-value dependant on their thickness.

Installing double glazing into existing units retains Georgian or Victorian aesthetics while at the same time complying with building regulations. It keeps you warm, reduces condensation, and helps to protect the environment. This technology is BS EN 1279 Compliant, and is suitable for Conservation or Listed Buildings. Sand blasted and opaque glass can be used for bathrooms and privacy etc.
