Door & Windows shop

[sela]

The corner of Dunstants road and Forst Hilll Road. 2 shops were open in a space of a year. Does it mean so many people in SE22 replace their doors and windows?

We'll see I guess.

For a business like that I'd imagine a lot of their business never goes near the shop but they need premises somewhere so why not there?

Much of the housing stock locally is around 100 years old - looking at windows quite a lot still have original sashes etc. - and of those that don't many will have replacement double glazing 20 or more years old which will have started to blow (mist) by now. Many houses in the 70s' and 80s (before ED 'came up in the world') will have underspent on maintenance, meaning that the need is greater. People are spending money on uplifts on every street - partly because they aren't moving, or want to make their houses more saleable if they have to move. So I suspect that good Door and Windows shops will do well.

I wonder how long they'll last

But if I buy a door I can get it from a catalogue you don?t need physical real size examples in my opinion.

I have my doubts about these two businesses so close together too. I never see posts on the EDF "Help, I just can't find anyone to supply and fit my new windows and doors" so am not sure there is a shortage of supply in the area. Most of the Victorian housing stock in SE22 has been renovated fairly recently by now?
