Business description
Advent Business Sales is pleased to offer to the market this well established conservatory roof manufacturer which as been trading successfully for the past 8 years.

The current vendors have been in constant ownership since its inception, and are now reluctantly selling due to emigration and retirement.

The company specialises in conservatory roofs using the Eurocell system which ensures speed and ease of installation at site and dispenses with the need for silicone sealing, therefore reducing the risk of water ingress. Roofs can be made in either a wide range of different glazing or polycarbonate.

All roofs are erected in the factory to check for fit and size before being made up into a ‘kit’ with full make up directions for the fitter onsite. This system of operation ensures constant quality and minimises customer complaints.

This level of bespoke service and supply has built up a high degree of respect from the customers, which has increased year upon year.

The company only deals with trade customers and is FENSA registered.

It is only one of a handful of manufacturers in the UK using the Eurocell system and is probably the biggest independent manufacturer to be doing so.

The company is turning over good figures and is showing impressive profit margins. There is excellent scope to increase trade with aggressive national marketing and the owners are quite prepared to offer this business with its 6,000 sq ft factory as either a freehold or leasehold with an option to buy the freehold at the end of the lease term.

The business would be ideal for either a person who has been in the glazing industry for some time or as an acquisition for a double glazing company.

We are advised that stocks are in the region of £25,000 and Work in Progress of around £12,000.
