The Croft vision – coupled with renowned levels of craftsmanship and service honed over nigh on 150 years – has kept the progressive Preston company at the forefront of the North West’s home improvement market.
While rightly proud of its rich heritage, Croft Conservatories is very much about the here and now – hence the unveiling last month (January) of a superb new main showroom for 2018.
And wow, is it impressive!
Among the innovations on show, visitors will discover a contemporary orangery in anthracite grey, high-specification aluminium sliding doors in a superior Coatex finish, contemporary bi-fold aluminium doors, high-security uPVC sliding doors, flush-sash casement windows and uPVC sash windows, high quality Residence 9 windows and a revolutionary roofing system.
Add to that traditional conservatories, classic orangeries and garden rooms, not to mention ultra-secure Rock doors and modern energy-efficient windows in a variety of beautiful heritage colours.
This is a stunning showcase of bespoke products that also offers great value.
Choosing from the Croft Conservatories portfolio doesn’t only improve the aesthetics and comfort of any home it will also produce significant financial savings on energy bills.
These windows and doors are amongst the very best for A+ energy rated performance and that can mean savings of £100’s on annual heating bills.
“It’s basically about the entire package – the look and the style, the craftsmanship and the quality, the value and the savings,” says director John Croft. “We endeavour to present all our customers with great choice and the highest levels of service.
“Professionalism and attention to detail has been at the core of everything we do for a long, long time and we will never compromise our reputation.”
Few local firms match Croft with regard to history.
The early origins can be traced back to 1874 when Thomas Croft founded Thomas Croft & Sons, a celebrated construction and civil engineering company responsible for building many of the region’s most famous landmarks.
For evidence, try Preston Town Hall and Municipal Buildings for size – oh, and not forgetting Blackburn Cathedral!
“Craftsmanship is our hallmark,” added John, the fifth generation descendant of Thomas Croft. “Our development and progress over the last two decades has been based around the philosophy of the original company.”
A member of the Chartered Institute of Building (with a degree in Construction Management and Technology), John leaves nothing to chance. Alongside John works a team of top level tradesman with a shared desire to deliver the best results for customers.
“The needs of every customer differ greatly and in many cases we are asked to cover additional aspects of interior design to complement the chosen conservatory, orangery or garden room,” said John.
These can include fabulous floor finishes, luxury lighting schemes or underfloor heating systems.
Nothing, it seems, is beyond the capability of the team and the quality of design, materials and installation guarantees unique buildings time after time after time.
Speaking of guarantees, the company’s long, sound financial history means that customers can place their orders with complete peace of mind, safe in the knowledge that the jobs will be finished on time, within budget and without risk.
