You can make the most of this by installing a sealed sliding door, and sealed blinds or heavy, lined curtains, to separate the conservatory more effectively from the rest of your house. Like any other part of the home, doors can be insulated and draught-proofed to prevent heat escaping. If you can’t install double glazing – for example, if you live in a conservation area, period property, or listed building – you can install secondary glazing, use heavy curtains, or preferably both. But if you’re not replacing an old window, the first thing to do is make sure you’ve fixed any draughts. There are a number of non-intrusive window insulation options available for historic homes, such as heavy lined curtains, shutters, secondary glazing and sealed blinds.

Your last resort for resolving disputes with your installer is taking them to court to obtain an order for them to compensate you. Which court you turn to depends on the amount you claim – if it’s £10,000 or security window film less in England and Wales or up to £3,000 in Northern Ireland, you can use the small claims court. In Scotland, you can turn to the Simple Procedure for claims of up to £5,000. FENSA also provides a complaints process if you cannot resolve directly with your installer, so long as they are a member. The most important step you can take is researching before contacting companies to gather quotes or signing any contracts.
