Planning permission is not always required. In certain cases permitted development allows you to build a substantial structure without the need for planning consent. If your home has already been extended from its original footprint, it may mean you will need planning permission. If in doubt, contact your local authority planning department for further advice. Alternatively, if Securahome are project managing your installation, one of our team will do it for you.

This is when you want to confirm that the project you are proposing would be lawful, i.e. does not require express planning permission. For example, you may need to establish that what you have proposed does not constitute development, is ‘permitted development’, or already has planning permission. If you have any doubts, contact your local authority planning department for further advice or speak to Securahome.

Securahome has been in business for more than 28 years. During this time, we have become a leading business recognised for quality and excellence. We meet our commitments under the warranties we provide.

Securahome has a policy of employing installers on a PAYE basis. This ensures we invest in our staff over a long period to ensure consistency and quality. On occasions, due to an increased workload, we employ experienced sub-contractors who are fully aware of Securahome practices and procedures. As with our employees, our sub-contractors have been with the business for some time.

The fenestration industry can be seasonal, but many products can be fitted at most times of the year. We suggest that customers purchasing conservatories and orangeries begin the process up to six months in advance. This allows for any relevant planning or water authority permissions along with delays caused by inclement weather.

Once fitted, uPVC roofline products such as fascia boards and soffits need very little maintenance, giving them a huge advantage over timber. We often see homeowners make a costly mistake by leaving it too late to install uPVC fascias and soffits. If your timber roofline is in reasonably good shape, you can save money by opting for an over cap which involves fitting a 9mm fascia board on top of the original timbers. Once the uPVC overlays the wood, the timbers are shielded from the elements. As the board is only over capped on the front and bottom, any damp can still dry out through the top and back. However, if you’ve left it a while and the timbers are rotten, then the only option is a full replacement.

This involves removing all of the old fascia boards and soffits and replacing them with uPVC ones that are usually 16-25mm thick. Replacement is also likely to mean removing the bottom few layers of tiles or slates to fit the boards, as the fascias butt the roof under the eaves. This is more time-consuming and the costs of labour and materials increase. However, the advantage of a full installation is that it is thorough and can help uncover any unnoticed rotten batons or roofing felt. Before carrying out any installation, a Securahome estimator will carry out a full inspection of existing timbers to assess the best option to offer lasting value for you and your home.
