Hazlemere Windows Win Two Prestigious Double Glazing Awards For Quality of Aluminium Conservatory Roofing System Installations Throughout 2008

The company I work for (known locally as "Hazlemere Windows") have been recently awarded the prestigious Quantal Award for their Lane End School installation, which they carried out in 2008 at this Primary School in Edmonds Road, Lane End, High Wycombe, Bucks.

Quantal awarded Hazlemere the 2008 Commercial Installation of the Year Award in the education sector category for this Bucks school project which involved the construction of a new entrance lobby with a bespoke aluminium Quantal glazed roof to increase security and management of pupils, staff and the school’s many visitors and tradesfolk.

Hazlemere Commercial projects delivered this improvement scheme on time and on budget during the school summer holidays in 2008, despite discovering difficult ground conditions, when an unusually high water table was exacerbated by unseasonably wet weather. When excavation works commenced water was discovered “flowing” underneath the existing school building.
These unexpected working conditions were overcome in conjunction with Wycombe District Council Building Control and Buckinghamshire County Council’s principal surveyor for the district’s schools. Hazlemere Commercial’s operatives had to fit specialised drainage beneath the lobby concrete floor, to allow the excess water to drain away to soakaways.

Hazlemere Commercial are on the Buckinghamshire County Council’s approved list of suppliers and were selected by Lane End Primary School for this project, I understand, following discussions btween the School and Bucks County Council, given our proven track record as manufacturers and installers of bespoke aluminium glazing systems. The double glazing products used on this award winning project involved Sapa Dualframe 75 aluminium casement windows, Sapa 202 aluminium commercial entrance doors and a Quantal glazed aluminium roofing system.

During February 2009, Hazlemere Conservatories were also advised they had been adjudged the Quantal Regional Installer of the Year for 2008 for their numerous bespoke aluminium conservatory installations utilising the Quantal conservatory roofing system throughout Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Middlesex and Oxfordshire. Hazlemere Conservatories, independent manufacturers and installers of aluminium windows, doors and conservatories since 1985, like I, were thrilled to receive this award, endorsed by Richard Hulbert, General Manager of Quantal Conservatory Roofing Systems.

It is always nice to have high quality work acknowledged, and I am proud to work for a company who have high standards and even when problems arise (which inevitably do happen occasionally), do everything fair and reasonable to put these right as soon as practically possible. I know Hazlemere Windows honour their hefty 10 year guarantee, as many years ago (long before I started working for them) they came out to our home in Beaconsfield to fix some broken locks and handles on a couple of occasions and never made a fuss, nor charged us anything.
