Clearview Home Improvements was formed just two years ago by John Beaty with long standing associates Chris Mitchell, sales director, and Andy Ross who has a lifetime of installations behind him. Within that time Clearview claims that it has become the largest retailer of conservatories in the North West of England. Without verification we await the counter claims of others in the region, but to even be a contender within that period makes the claim impressive.
Clearview installs, on average, 60 conservatories a month with a sales value of £7.5 million last year through its established branches in Leyland, Lancashire and Holmes Chapel, Cheshire. The Warrington branch opened earlier this year is confidently expected to boost the company’s sales by a further £2.5 million in its first 12 months.
Such growth would be impressive under any conditions but with conservatory sales falling off a…
In any line of business making contacts with others within your industry can always play a useful part in helping you generate ideas, debates and leads. The glass industry is no different and due to time and geographical constraints it can be difficult to interact with them on a regular basis. Well if you run or are part of a conservatory or double glazing company then you really ought to sign up to the new GlassTalk website, or as we like to call it the ‘Facebook’ of the glass industry.
The new Glasstalk website is basically a social media networking tool for the double glazing industry allowing you to air your views online with other installers and suppliers. Once logged into the site users can create their own profile, add a picture of themselves and both post comments on their wall or comment on other users’ thoughts.…
When you’re talking conservatories and double glazing windows & doors, it’s all about the fit. The same goes with online advertising agencies. So when it came to creating and marketing a new website Housemaster Home Improvements based in Hertfordshire – Motionlab were the natural choice. Motionlab may not know a lot about building a stunning conservatory or installing the very latest double glazing windows and doors, but they know how to build a successful lead generating website for a host of home improvement companies.
Housemaster Home Improvements who recently joined the Conservatory Outlet dealership needed a better way to generate online sales leads. They required a friendlier, more informative website that introduced their quality range of products and services throughout Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.

The new ‘Facebook’ style website www.glasstalk.co.uk has now been live for a couple of weeks.
There’s been a few teething problems most of which have been ironed out, and we have a plan to make many improvements to the functionality of ‘the Wall’ in the near future to make it more exciting.
The interesting thing is that those who are using it, are coming back regularly and spending a lot of time on there. For people to be spending an average 12 minutes on the site each time, suggests those who are using the new Glasstalk website are finding it interesting, informative and amusing.
To date there are 150+ members of the site, and I would guess 20-30 active members.
At this point it is very much still at a testing stage and will be fully launched once the improvements have been made. But we are…
At West Yorkshire Windows, we have recently become members of the GGF (The Glass & Glazing Federation). If you can remember, at the very first GlassTalk event, last March, one of the ‘On The Couch’ discussions was supposed to be Ian Chisholm trying to convince us to become members by selling the benefits. We actually ran out of time so it never happened.
Ian then came up to see Matthew and I and went through all the reasons for joining and we agreed to be members.
Before Ian came up to see me, I thought that the only good the GGF did was to create a few documents that we use, like the fact sheet on condensation and guide lines to what size footings we should use when building conservatories. I was very wrong.
On the 11th of February I went down to the…
