sliding sash windows and
composite doors.

force suddenly thousands of
people will have disposable
income. Windows and doors
will be high on the agenda.

Steve continues: “Bi-folding
doors, vertical sliding sash
windows and composite doors are
all ‘in fashion’ at the moment and
installers should team up with
a supplier that can offer these
products.”

Proving Installer Support
Scheme’s Work

»»Network VEKA UK has
settled remedial insurance claims totalling £1m,
over the last 18 years, paying testament to the
quality workmanship and high-specification
of the products supplied and installed by its
member companies.

Network VEKA only accepts companies that
demonstrate superior levels of workmanship,
and then invests in them to ensure their
standards maintain and surpass the schemes
desired service levels.
John Ogilvie, managing director, Network
VEKA explains: “We hope Network VEKA
customers never have to claim on their
insurance, but we also want them to know that
in the unlikely event they do, we have a track
record of paying out claims.
“Considering our 150-strong membership
collectively averages £850m worth of

installations per year; over the18 years £1m
is an impressively low amount to have been
claimed in remedial costs.”
“We certify all our installations with our
industry leading insurance-backed guarantee,
and with customers only having just one
company to call should they need to make a
claim, this contributes to a feeling of assurance
throughout the installation.
