Can we view existing canopies you have installed?

If you are considering purchasing a canopy from any company it is a good idea to visit an existing canopy and we are happy for you to visit canopies we have installed. After all you don’t want a canopy that looks like a bus shelter, unless of course that’s what you want the canopy for.

Are your canopies and gazebos usable all year round in any weather?

Yes, unlike some covered solutions that need to be taken down in the winter or during high winds, our canopies are designed for use all year round. All of our canopies and gazebos are 100% UV protective whilst allowing light through and creating a small amount of shade underneath. An important factor to also consider is the quality of the roof material. Whilst our canopies are anti-glare many canopy companies don’t take this into consideration.

What guarantees are offered?

We offer a 10 year guarantee on our Qubes, Mono-pitch and Kwikshade canopies and a 5 year guarantee on our COS Redwood. All other products are supplied with a 12 month guarantee. We guarantee to offer you the best service and work with you throughout the project and beyond.

Will I require planning permission?

Although new legislation came about in April 2010 which relaxed the rules slightly we will always advise you to contact your local planning authority regarding planning permission. There are many factors that planning will take into account, including purpose, size, positioning etc. We will help with your planning application including information required on the canopy, drawings and design and access statements. Please be aware that it is up to you to contact your local planning authority.

Will there be any hidden charges to the quotation?

No, we carry out a visit for our Qubes, Mono-pitch and sailshade canopies followed by a quote that is complete with all costs. There are no hidden charges and what’s more we do our utmost to hold the price, where possible, for as long as we can. We know that it can take many months (or even years!) from our initial quote to you being able to proceed. We include footings in our quotes and this is one of the most ‘hidden’ prices that some companies don’t tell you about, or worse, they expect you, the customer, to pay for and arrange yourself

What roof material do you use?

This is dependent on the type of canopy that your require. Most of our products are covered with tensioned PVC material, whilst some of our monopitch canopies use either tensioned PVC material or polycarbonate. Our awnings have the option of traditional cloth or PVC. This gives the customer a range of roof material options

Do you fix your canopies directly onto the current surface?

No, all canopies, from any company, MUST be fitted to concrete pads of the relevant size for the size of canopy being installed. Unlike some companies we include this in our quote and we do the ground works ourselves. No permanent canopy should ever be installed without footings.

What colour can the framework be?

We powder coat our frames on the Qube, Mono-pitch and Kwikshade. This means you can have your frame in any colour of your choosing. Whilst our Cos Redwood canopies have pre-treated wooden frames you can paint or stain them accordingly.

We want to place an order. What peace of mind can you offer?

We are a friendly company owned and managed by Bill Caldwell and Sandy Adamson. Bill carries out all site visits so you can be assured that you are getting the best advice. Our installation team run by Sandy have been installing canopies since 2005 and are all CRB checked. We will work very hard with you to get the best possible solution for the budget you have and we are always ready to answer your questions.

You do fencing?

Yes. We can supply all types of fencing and the reason we do this is because we often quote for fencing as part of our canopy and gazebo projects when required. We can quote for fencing seperately if thats what you are looking for.

What other extra items do you supply?

We supply post protectors for canopy legs and posts but we can also provide made to measure post protectors for any other existing posts, pillars or columns.
