Has anyone used Art of Glass for an extension or conservatory?

We had Art of Glass round to quote for a small 6 foot extension to our flat and were really impressed by them. Has anyone used them in the past? We're a little nervous as it's so much money (rightly so, it's structural work!).

Hi, I didn't use them in the end. I was contacted by two people from other forums who said that they had had a terrible experience with them. They had been left with half done extensions or massive structural issues with their properties and that the company had just closed down and reopened and never been accountable. I got a bit scared off. You can indeed see reviews for the company and the main lady Ganna online if you search so maybe contact them too? The company did quote ?19,000 for a 10 x 6 kitchen extension with glazed roof and underfloor heating and I did really like the process of designing with them. They were also more than happy to let me look at other extensions they had done so maybe look into it yourself? I didn't look into it any more and never had an extension done in the end. Sorry I can't be more helpful!


(I was however highly recommended David O'Brien by several people and he seemed really lovely and was more than happy to show me around finished and ongoing building projects. He is also reassuringly quite booked up. He's on 07960 938621 and if you search you can find recommendations on Virtual Norwood forum too)

Hi Tarah,

Found your message on this Forum and decided that will explain our part of the story.Our company was targeted by awful woman with a lot of classic cars. She asked us to build for her orangery instead of bad conservatory she had.When I was signing the contract she said- we sue every builder walking to this door and always won.the bell should of ring for me. But I was absolutely sure that we do our very best so it has nothing to do with us. As you may remember, we take only small deposit, order all frames and take payment after it been delivered.She was behaving funny from the start and when her construction ?20k worth was delivered refused to pay, making stupid case of non existing damage.( we removed her old construction as per contract!)After consulting our lawyer, we understood that as goods where behind her gates it will takes us very long and expensive to get court order for removal and walked away... However, few bits were missing for her to put free orangery by someone else up and she was chasing how to get it. Writing Rubbish on different sites etc. Finally, we had to report her to the police and asked sites were we found damaging information and asked for it to be Removed. There are rogue builders but there are rogue customers too! You can call me for more details on 07894556072 . Thanks

    • I don't think it is time restricted...the Southwark noise team's website says....(oh and look at the very first item on the list....;-))   Noise issues and nuisances that we can deal with We can help if you're being disturbed by noise coming from: amplified music TV parties nightclubs and pubs including people outside making noise DIY home renovation some construction sites barking dogs alarms / car alarms odours and fumes from commercial properties smoke commercial venues and events dust or noise from some works or equipment in the street fireworks at night from 11pm to 7am - extensions exist for the following festivals: first day of Chinese New Year until 1am the following day on the day of Diwali until 1am the following day New Year's Eve until 1am on New Year's Day 05 November until midnight
    • Surely nobody is going to want books in poor condition, unless they are rare and possibly valuable?
    • Is that not only true within certain hours? I just did a quick Google and this came up (not specifically Southwark): The Noise Act 1996 defines "night hours" as 11 pm to 7 am, and local councils can take action if noise levels are excessive during this time. This means they can issue warning notices or even investigate for a statutory nuisance if the noise is particularly disruptive, according to Gov.uk.  I'm sure it's more complicated than that, and I'm sure it's been discussed on here before, though I can't remember which thread.
    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend.
