On-Line Home Improvement Leads Ahead Of '07 Says eBuilders
Flying in the face of the gloomy forecasts being predicted
for 2008, eBuilders, publishers of consumer advice web sites
covering every aspect of home improvements, report that early
year lead generation is good and even slightly ahead of expectations.
Numbers of enquiries are up overall but significantly, figures
for 'Clean' leads - those that include full contact information
- are better year on year compared with 12 months ago.
Peter Jervis, Managing Director of eBuilders Ltd says that
the signs are very positive: 'The traffic through our web
sites is up overall but significantly, the numbers of high
quality leads - what we call Clean Leads - is also very good.
Of course, it is early in the year but these represent what
is happening now, the mood of homeowners towards improving
their homes. This is very encouraging.'
The figures contrast the number of reports about failed
window and conservatory companies and other negative economic
news, although many believe that the glazing industry is
in danger of talking itself into a recession. 'Despite the
rather depressing news there is no concrete reason as yet
to believe this year will be any different from last,' says
Jervis. 'Yes, it will continue to be highly competitive but
companies must look to new forms of marketing including the
Internet which continues to grow rapidly, as our figures
show.'

Conservatory Design
Competition
Thomas Sanderson Ltd, the
UK's leading supplier of conservatory blinds, window stylings
and patio awnings has added its support
to the 2008 Glassex-GP&T Conservatory Design Competition
in association with ConservatoriesOnline.com, by offering
the main competition winner £3K worth of blinds for
use in a conservatory showroom.
The Thomas Sanderson prize is in addition to the £5K
worth of online advertising already offered by ConservatoriesOnline.com,
the competition's main sponsor, and brings the total prize
value to £8K.
Says Ian Bayne, Partnership Manager, Thomas Sanderson Ltd: " We
are delighted to sponsor the competition as it promotes excellence
in conservatory design and installation. By adding blinds
to their conservatory offer, companies can increase the value
of a contract dramatically and provide the homeowner with
a complete service from design through to installation. Our
range, which offers a huge selection of colours and fabrics,
is an ideal choice for companies wishing to expand in to
the conservatory accessory market."
The Conservatory Design Competition offers a number of categories
including small and large conventional, innovative design,
portal and energy efficiency. Full details of the entry criteria
can be obtained from the web site www.gexhibition.com and
by clicking on the visiting section.
Winners of the Competition will be announced on Tuesday
8 April 2008 as part of the Glassex-GP&T exhibition which
runs from 8-10 April 2008 at the NEC.

eBUILDERS TO STEP UP GLASSEX PRESENCE
eBuilder Ltd, the company behind the series of consumer
home improvement advice web sites that includes www.ConservatoriesOnline.com,
almostimpartialguide.co.uk,
WindowsToday.co.uk and many others, intends to make a big
impact at next year’s Glassex
to he held at the National Exhibition Centre from April 8th
– 10th, with a bigger stand and a number of exciting new
projects.
eBuilders has been a Glassex exhibitor continuously for
the past seven years with the event contributing much to
the company’s success, demonstrating that the oldest and
newest forms of communication can work comfortably together.
As enquiries and sales leads through sites such as ConservatoriesOnline.com
increase at more than 20% year-on-year as traditional forms
of lead generation continue to decline, the Internet is finding
favour with ever increasing numbers of homeowners, many of
whom now go online for most of their major buying decisions.
But eBuilders Managing Director Peter Jervis believes that
Glassex remains the most effective way of meeting window,
conservatory and other home improvement installers: “The
Internet provides the most effective means of reaching increasingly
large numbers of home owners and it is the future for the
home improvement industry as legislation and social change
makes traditional canvassing more and more ineffective. But
we enjoy meeting our sponsors, advertisers and other partners
face-to-face at Glassex, something that cannot be achieved
online.
“We will have some very exciting new products and opportunities
to tell visitors about in April which are best discussed
personally,” added Peter. “Not only will we have powerful
new lead generators but also opportunities for businesses
to diversify into other home improvement sectors with minimal
risk and investment – it will be well worth the wait!”

eBUILDERS ACQUIRES THEWINDOWMAN
Terry the Windowman has moved from Essex to Norfolk! One
of the longest established and most popular double glazing
and conservatory information websites for consumers, www.TheWindowMan.co.uk,
has become part of the expanding eBuilders Ltd stable.
Registered in May 1999 TheWindowMan.co.uk was the brainchild
of Terry, an experienced window and conservatory installer
from Essex who withheld his identity in order for him to
be able to speak out about the things that he thought were
wrong about the industry and indeed, some of its less punctilious
operators. The style of TheWindowMan.co.uk was, therefore,
quite different in the approach taken by traditional eBuilders
sites, the first of which was launched a few months earlier
in 1998, by being edgier and more overtly campaigning, styled
as ‘The Consumers Champion’, something that eBuilders is
keen to maintain.
Innovative and challenging, TheWindowMan.co.uk website has
therefore always been popular with consumers, attracting
many repeat visitors who return time after time. Purchased
for an undisclosed sum eBuilders has already expanded the
number of sponsorship and branding opportunities for leading
regional and national double glazing and conservatory suppliers.
eBuilders Managing Director Peter Jervis says that, within
the rarefied world of home improvement cyberspace the agreement
is quite historic: “Although on something of a different
level, TheWindowMan.co.uk was registered just a few months
after the first eBuilders web site, and around the same time
as Google, itself regarded as a major pioneer of the Internet.
Terry, founder of TheWindowMan had a fantastic vision that
was years ahead of almost everyone else in the home improvement
business. We are delighted to have been able to add this
site to the eBuilders family.”
26th July 2007
eBUILDERS LEAD REPORTING NOW INSTANT AND PAPERLESS
eBuilders Ltd, the company behind www.ConservatoriesOnline.com and other top home improvement consumer advice web sites,
has completed its new automated sales lead reporting system
for advertisers and sponsors of its web sites.
Completed as part of the company’s huge investment in new
systems and support services, the new system will automatically
pass on leads from any of eBuilders’ web sites to advertisers
within 30 minutes of a user making an enquiry. This ensures
that potential customers may be contacted whilst their action
remains fresh in their minds and thus optimising the lead.
The information supplied includes all key information provided
by the enquirer, including contact information as well as
the specific product interest, to ensure the advertiser has
as much intelligence as possible with which to follow up
the lead.
Reporting has also been speeded up and optimised to ensure
advertisers can easily check leads received against invoices,
presented in a form that may easily be cross-referenced by
management and through to accounts. Invoices are also now
included with the reports to simplify checking.
In addition to the system being refined and automated, eBuilders
has committed the process to being entirely conducted online
and therefore paperless, another key part of the strategy
for this project.
eBuilders’ Managing Director Peter Jervis says that the
system is designed to further sharpen the competitive edge
of its customers and therefore provide even better value:
“The introduction of this system is a significant step forward
for our advertisers and sponsors and will enable them to
respond to enquiries faster than ever, with the age of the
lead becoming a ever more crucial factor in the conversion
ratio. Online enquirers expect and even demand a fast response
to their enquiry and leads made through any of our web sites
will now be even hotter through this system.
“With online lead generation continuing to grow as other
methods falter, this is a further sharpening of the competitive
edge for home improvement product and service providers using
the eBuilders’ sites.”

GARAGE CONVERSIONS: SHOULD YOU BECOME A CONVERT?
A new home improvement consumer advice web site www.garageconversionsuk.co.uk offers tips, information and advice for homeowners considering
converting their cluttered, barely used garage into much
needed, relatively inexpensive extra living space.
But there are opposing views about taking such steps as
to whether such a move is wise. Some believe that giving
up the garage will have a negative effect on the value of
a property, even if relatively few homeowners actually put
their cars away at night, whilst others believe that the
use of generally under utilised space can only be a good
thing and should be considered for the value it brings now,
rather than any influence it may have on the property value
in the future, up or down.
Estate agent David Heard, whose own property in Hertfordshire
features a garage conversion together with similar homes
in the same street, believes that many homes can benefit
from a conversion: “Whether a garage should be converted
into additional living space depends on a number of factors
and in particular the availability of off road parking in
the area. But in general garages are under-utilised and present
excellent opportunities for increasing living space that
will be welcomed by future buyers.”
However, warns David, care should be taken: “Any such conversion
should be carried out thoughtfully and in keeping with the
rest of the property and the street. It should also be carried
out so that it may be easily restored to use as a garage
should circumstances change or a future owner preferred a
garage. If done well there should be no negative impact on
the value of the house.”
Care should also be taken to comply with Building Regulations,
but also any restrictive covenants that may apply to a property
specifically and in the context of the area. In a wealthy
private estate North West of London local regulations forbid
the conversion of garages, a rule that is side stepped by
many residents by leaving the garage door in place and building
a stud wall behind it.
Storage is another issue to consider as many homeowners
use their garages as storage rooms and for such items as
bicycles, garden furniture and tools and other paraphernalia.
This can be resolved easily with the addition of a garden
shed, the location of which can be at the discretion of the
homeowner.
Peter Jervis, managing director of eBuilders Ltd, the publisher
of the www.garageconversionsuk.co.uk web site, says that planning
permission requirements may vary considerably from area to
area: “A garage conversion will be treated as an extension
if the existing structure is of a temporary construction.
Generally, if the garage was built at the same time of the
property and is of the same construction then insulation
to current building regulations would only be required, provided
that the planners are happy with the change of use.
“However, most garage conversions require a Building Regulation
application either as a Full Plans application or a Building
Notification submission, where the intention is to provide
accommodation such as bedrooms, bathrooms, playrooms, study
or office, or a kitchen or dining room.
“A professional garage conversion specialist or builder
will often take care of all Building Regulation and planning
requirements. However, it is wise to be aware of the requirements
yourself so homeowners should contact their Local Authority
Planning Department themselves. Most are very helpful although
they can be very busy, so be patient.”
The key issues to consider when looking at a garage conversion
are:
- Do local regulations allow such a conversion?
- Is there sufficient additional off-road parking
- Carry out such work so it may be reversed easily in the future.
- Ensure the conversion is complementary to the main property.
- Only employ reputable contactors to carry out the work; ask
for examples of their work and check them out
- Ideally use contractors who can take the process all the
way form plans to completion. But be aware of Building
Regulations and other planning requirements and check that these have
been complied with.
- If you intend to carry out the work yourself, again be aware
of all national and local regulatory requirements or
you may find yourself having to restore the garage.

eBUILDERS MANAGEMENT STRENGTHENED
The management of eBuilders Ltd, the company behind many of
the top home improvement consumer advice web sites such as
www.ConservatoriesOnline.com, www.windowstoday.co.uk, www.quotatis.co.uk,
and www.bathroom-buyers-guide.com, has been significantly strengthened
through a management buy-in by Peter Jervis and Mike Sharpe,
to create a three-way shareholding with eBuilders founder Barry
Dunlop, who remains on the board.
Although a Certified Accountant Peter Jervis has long been
at the sharp end of home improvement retailing and building
products distribution, most recently having been responsible
for group business development and strategy at Anglian Group
since the MBO in 2001, developing major new routes and products
to market. He has also enjoyed spells in senior positions with
Caradon and as Product Director at Jewson, part of the Saint
Gobain group.
Mike Sharpe has considerable experience as a senior executive,
in large of PLC companies as well as heading up new start situations,
and with experience of fund raising and market development.
He occupied senior accountancy positions for over 18 years
before going into general management, running retail dealerships
for over 8 years. Moving into sales and marketing with Daihatsu,
Mike eventually became world wide Sales Director for Rolls
Royce and Bentley Motors. He now has a wide range of business
interests in a number of companies, for which he applies his
considerable experience in business development and growth.
Former shower and double glazing salesman Barry Dunlop, whose
web sites are now responsible for producing more than a quarter
of a million sales leads and referrals for advertisers and
sponsors of the company’s web sites, says that the move is
designed to realise the true potential of what has become a
highly successful formula: “Our sites are now the most successful
in their respective sectors and have become the key to lead
generation for many home improvement suppliers in the glazing,
kitchens, bathrooms and other sectors, in the shadow of toughening
legislation and competition. There is huge potential to push
into other home improvement niches, but also to further refine
and develop our existing products.
“The power of the Internet has barely been touched, and having
two partners in the business now of the calibre of Peter and
Mike will enable us to reach our full potential, and create
powerful new products for our sponsors. This will take us to
a new level,” says Barry.
Peter Jervis, who takes the role of Managing Director in the
new company, is very familiar with the eBuilders products:
“It’s a cliché but quite literally I liked the company
so much I bought into it. Through my responsibility for business
development at Anglian I am very aware of the challenges facing
home improvement retailers and the Internet provides some excellent
possibilities. The success of eBuilders’ web sites is measured
by the number of companies that are trying to gain key sponsorships
on the sites, and those rigorously maintaining their participation.
The Internet is providing tremendous growth, where other media
is becoming less effective.
“The team we have in place now is very powerful, especially
with Barry’s command of the Internet and Mike’s experience
of running top line companies. We will be revealing a number
of new initiatives during the next few months, both for our
existing products and some totally new ventures. It will be
a very interesting time.”

WOODEN SHUTTERS: RIP CURTAINS?
A new web site http://www.blinds-shutters.co.uk has been
launched to provide independent advice to homeowners that have
switched on to the latest trend in home window treatments –
shutters.
Actually of course one of the oldest solutions pre-glass to
providing closures for window apertures, paradoxically shutters
are enjoying a revival as an attractive solution to many modern
problems facing homeowners, in particular noise and thermal
insulation.
But the key to the revival in the popularity of shutters remains
style, as housebuilders and homeowners seek to distinguish
the appearance of their properties, particularly if the building
follows a particular style of architecture.
Blinds-shutters.co.uk has been launched from the same stable
that is responsible for some of the Internet’s most popular
home improvement web sites, including:
www.conservatoriesonline.com, www.quotatis.co.uk/,
and www.double-glazing-replacement-windows.co.uk, each of which
has provided of answers to literally thousands of homeowners’
questions, and which regularly appear in the top 10 results
of any online search.
Barry Dunlop is the founder of eBuilders Ltd, the company
behind the web sites: “We launch our home improvement advice
sites purely on the basis of the demand we receive from homeowners
and we have recorded an enormous surge in interest in wooden
shutters. So we researched the market and www.blinds-shutters.co.uk
is the result. Even in the first few weeks the number of ‘hits’
on the site has been impressive.”
The web site offers advice on a range of the most popular
styles of internal and external shutters, in addition to a
buyers guide, a design service and other advice.

ASK ME ANOTHER: THE ASK-QUESTIONS.COM CONSERVATORY EXPERT
PROVIDES HIS 1,000TH ANSWER
Gary Deverson, the ‘resident’ conservatory expert on consumer
home improvement advice web site www.ask-questions.com, has
recently provided his 1,000th expert answer to homeowners in
Britain and the U.S. seeking impartial advice for their conservatory
needs and worries.
The Ask-Questions site, part of the same eBuilders Ltd stable
that includes ConservatoriesOnline, features a Q&A forum
that allows visitors to the site to ask questions on a range
of home improvements including conservatories, double glazing
and kitchens, with answers provided by leading experts in each
of their fields.
Gary, who learned his trade at the sharp end running his company
South Wales conservatory business Cosy Living Ltd, takes pride
in providing the free and independent advice to users of the
web site, including such questions about using gas fires in
a conservatory, defective polycarbonate roofs, self-cleaning
glass; and condensation. The most frequent enquiries concern
superstore DIY conservatories, and kitchens from a leading,
Scandinavian home retailer.
Gary, who was presented with a bottle of champagne by eBuilders’
boss Barry Dunlop to celebrate his milestone at the recent
Glassex trade show, is happy just to help: “I really like helping
people, to do my good deed each day,” says Gary. “But I also
hate seeing companies rip people off - it gives our industry
a bad name.”

CONSERVATORIESONLINE.COM REVEALS INCREASE
IN INTERNET POWER
For the first time eBuilders Ltd, which operates
the leading homeowners’ conservatory advice web site www.conservatoriesonline.com,
has announced consumer viewing and activity statistics to offer
a glimpse of the growing power and influence of the Internet
in the consumer decision-making process.
Last year ConservatoriesOnline.com and its ‘sister’ sites
directly generated an estimated 100,000 plus confirmed sales
leads for its sponsors and advertisers. These comprised more
than 37,500 conservatory related enquiries, 14,000 for replacement
windows and, through the broader range of eBuilders home improvement
web sites more than 10,000 sales enquiries for kitchens.
In addition to making enquiries to suppliers directly through
the eBuilders web sites visitors also have the opportunity
to click on a series of links that take them through to the
home web sites of advertisers and sponsors. In a single year
the company recorded an incredible 1 million visitors that
took advantage of this facility, resulting in an estimated
additional 50,000 sales leads.
The most striking aspect of the information revealed is the
rise in visitors, leads and referrals of up to 30% in some
categories, which is in stark contrast with window, door and
conservatory industry trends, which is estimated to be down
by around 20% overall.
In particular consumers in the South East and Midlands would
appear still to have money to spend, with significant increases
in conservatory-related enquiries and one advertiser enjoying
a 28% increase in sales leads. Interest in ancillary products
was also significantly up, in particular for conservatory blinds
and furniture.
However, the most spectacular success was enjoyed by a well-known
national supplier of windows, doors and conservatories who
experienced an increase of 30.65% for window enquiries compared
with the previous year.
Barry Dunlop, Managing Director of eBuilders Ltd, believes
the success of his sites against the harsh trading conditions
of the window, door and conservatory market place will continue:
“We have built our websites to be search engine friendly with
quality content that users regard as authoritative and impartial
that ensures that we consistently show a high volume of leads
amongst users" The excellent figures are in line with
the continuing trends for Internet usage overall, with more
than 28 million people – 60% of the UK population - having
access to the ‘web, and 14 million online each day. The Internet
is a key part of the modern consumer’s selection process.”

THE EASIEST WAY TO A NEW ROOM FOR YOUR HOME
Garage conversions can create that extra space for expanding
families
Want to expand your home without the hassle of building
an extension? Garage just full of junk? Why not convert
your garage into a whole new space for work, rest or play?
Whether you’ve got a single or double, an integral or
detached, a garage is the perfect space to convert into
a new playroom, office, kitchen, dining room or even an
extra bedroom.
Converting a garage may seem like a complex, expensive
option but, http://www.garageconversionsuk.co.uk,
makes it easy by offering a one-stop shop containing everything
a consumer needs to know from building and planning regulations
to buyers tips and resources.
Barry Dunlop, the founder of eBuilders, which owns http://www.garageconversionsuk.co.uk said: “This site has been a surprising success, we did
not realise how many people are actually interested in
doing this.
“True high quality garage conversions add value to your
home. In the past people often converted a garage rather
cheaply – and have not given proper consideration to things
such as insulation and heating – resulting in what was
often a cold, damp room. Now that need not be the case
with a professionally designed garage conversion which
incorporates the latest building practices.”

GARDEN AWNING SALES DOUBLE
More UK consumers investing in garden awnings
The UK’s leading garden awning webite, http://www.garden-awnings.co.uk
had a 50% growth in sales in 2005. The website is a one-stop-shop
with everything a consumer needs to know about garden awnings,
from choosing the most appropriate type of awning to a
choice of complementary accessories.
Garden awnings allow consumers to spend more time enjoying
their garden by creating the perfect environment for outdoor
entertaining throughout the summer without having to worry
about the weather.
Barry Dunlop, the founder of eBuilders, which owns http://www.garden-awnings.co.uk,
said: “Since we launched garden-awnings.co.uk we’ve been
overwhelmed with garden lovers looking to enjoy the outdoors
all year round. This is highlighted by the 50% growth in
sales in 2005, and there is currently no sign of the market
slowing down.”
Visitors to the site can benefit from a free consumer
report, which includes essential information about selecting
the right awnings, by choosing from a number of options
such as motorised or manual awnings and the ideal placement
and drop for optimal usage of a garden.

CONSERVATORIESONLINE.COM ANNOUNCES ITS CONSERVATORY OF THE
YEAR
The world’s leading conservatory web site www.conservatoriesonline.com has bestowed its annual honours on the most impressive conservatory
installations to appear on the site during 2005. The 2005 Awards
is the third to be held and was created to recognise and reward
innovative and stylish conservatory design, and exceptional
quality in manufacture and installation.
The Overall Winner is an installation by Heritage
Conservatories Ltd (www.heritageconservatories.com), which was chosen by the
judging panel for the “highly individualistic, imaginative
and innovative approach”, taken by its designers in providing
a stylish conservatory for a country house. Manufactured in
hardwood and finished in cream to match the house, the conservatory
features a ‘cathedral’ vaulted roof on its two aspects that
considerably increase the feeling of space within. Motorised
roof vents are installed to provide ventilation, and concertina-style
folding/sliding doors allow the structure to be fully opened
on to the garden during warmer weather.
In addition to the company’s attention to aesthetics, Heritage
also had to pay special attention to damp proofing and drainage
as the conservatory and patio are sunk below the main garden.
The ConservatoriesOnline Special Design Award has been bestowed
upon Richmond Oak Conservatories (www.oakconservatories.co.uk)
for what the judges called “an innovative and highly successful
practical solution that manages also to provide stylish and
highly attractive additional space.”
The owner of the property wanted to join the main house with
additional living space in an adjacent building. Richmond provided
the solution with the creation of a cloister-style connection
between the two properties, with a corridor attached to each
building and a highly attractive hexagonal conservatory in
between. Richmond constructed the structure in seasoned oak
oiled to accentuate the natural grain, using traditional joinery
methods, with this adding considerably to the charm of the
installation.
The final category in the ConservatoriesOnline.com Awards
for 2005 is the Editor’s Choice. This installation designed,
manufactured and installed by national home improvement giant
Zenith Staybrite Conservatories
succeeded, remarked the judges, in proving that “stylish, thoughtful
and innovative conservatories are not the exclusive domain
of the smaller craft companies.”
The T-shaped conservatory is installed using a rear box gutter
and features a glass roof, mahogany-style woodgrain frames,
and brickwork closely matched to that of the host property.
The result, added the judges, is “a cohesive and highly attractive
conservatory that has been carefully thought out, and expertly
installed.”
Barry Dunlop, Managing Director of eBuilders Ltd the company
behind ConservatoriesOnline.com, says that the Conservatory
Design Awards provide a very real service for visitors to the
site: “Our Awards provide people with a showcase and benchmark
for what they may realistically expect when choosing a new
conservatory, in respect of the quality of design, manufacture
and installation, but also for the features and details that
can make the difference between a successful and unsatisfactory
installation.”
ConservatoriesOnline.com and its related portfolio of web
sites is the world’s leading source of design and technical
advice for millions of homeowners seeking to add a conservatory
to their home. It regularly features in the top 10 of the leading
search engines and consistently proves itself as the most powerful
online provider of referrals and leads for its advertisers
and partners, providing them with more than 100,000 leads during
2005.
