COST CONSCIOUS CUSTOMERS
The team at SOL Conservatory Roofs explain how with 2022 looking very different to 2021’s
home improvement boom, the cost of living means homeowners are likely to become more
money savvy than ever before when it comes to home improvement projects...

With COVID inadvertently creating a home
improvement boom throughout late 2020
and 2021, 2022 is looking like taking
a very different turn with homeowners likely to
become more cost conscious than ever when it
comes to their home improvement projects.
It is also vital that installers are able to navigate
the minefield of preserving their own bottom
line against rising business costs, while still
remaining competitive in the market.
Showcasing a high quality product range capable
of adding value to properties in the increasingly
aggressive housing market, while helping to lower
energy bills, is a must going forward.
Price increases are also an inevitability and
currently hitting our industry left, right and centre
– something that was expected to slow down
after coming out the other side of COVID.
However, it seems that we are still looking
towards uncertainty and instability in terms of
material pricing. There is no instability where
SOL Conservatory Roofs are concerned, working
consistently throughout the supply chain to offer
installers the best prices on the full product
range, ensuring that increases are only passed on
when absolutely necessary.
“Significant investment has already been made
throughout our window, door and roof factories
this year” explained Lee Marson, Operations
Director at the company.
“Upgrades to machinery, stock control, planning,
batching and despatch systems has allowed
our production facility to be in a position to
successfully ride the wave of supply and demand.
“We are currently sitting at about 50% capacity
on roofs and frames, and have the ability to scale
up significantly without any lapse in levels of
quality, service or lead-times.”
Partnering with installers, SOL offers a one-stop-
shop for solid and glazed roofs, lantern roofs,
orangeries, windows and doors.
For complete peace of mind, installers get a
dedicated account manager, a single point of
guarantee and direct to site delivery.
A full suite of retail brochures, bespoke flyers
and showroom literature are just some of the
marketing support available.
Installation guides, videos and data sheets
provide all the information needed, along with
technical specifics – plus, SOL experts are
always on hand to offer assistance when it comes
to those tricky designs!
