Knowledgeable Trade Professionals

Many of the sales staff at our company have prior trade experience and they receive training both inhouse, and through our branded supplier network. We often have manufacturers visiting us to teach our employees about the latest building materials, roofing supplies and landscaping materials. We can then pass on this knowledge, even to tradespeople, but we find that extra training pays off especially well when dealing with local homeowners and hobbyists.

You don't need to be a builder or a trade professional to shop with us.

If you are fitting Velux windows into a roof, or onto a dormer as part of a loft conversion, we will be able to advise you on profiles and sizes. If you visit or call to arrange an aggregate delivery, we can recommend quantities based on the size of a project so that you don’t experience an excess of wastage.

We can even recommend windows in UPVC and aluminium.

Travel from Chichester to Worthing and talk to us in person. While you are in our company, you can use your time to inspect products, view displays and seek guidance from our sales staff. Private customers are encouraged to bring their chosen installers to explore new systems and designs if they plan on using a professional team for the more complex parts of a project.
