Looking for double glazing in Plymouth? 5 reasons not to go with larger firms & stay local!

You’ll be pleased to know that Plymouth’s economy continues to strengthen through the power of local business. A recent example of this includes a Plymouth family business named as best in the South West by their community, via the prestigious People’s Choice Awards. Newly released figures also reveal that local leading sports teams, including Plymouth Argyle, boosted the South West’s local economy by contributing an impressive £773m in 2016.

With this in mind, as more homeowners in Plymouth and right across Cornwall opt to shop around and go local with their double-glazing upgrades, we thought we’d look at the top reasons as to why this is.

5 reasons to stay local with your Plymouth double glazing

1. National isn’t always rational

Many homeowners believe that the best double-glazing deals come from using the national companies however, this isn’t always the case. Yes, they have larger advertising budgets but if you examine many of these ‘unbelievable offers’ and then shop around locally, you’ll soon come to realise that local double-glazing companies (like us!) generally offer the best double-glazing deals.

2. Local economy

With a strong and sustainable local foundation, local businesses are the backbone of Plymouth’s economy thanks to those who continue to buy local. Interestingly enough, research shows us that for every £100 spent with a local independent company, an additional £500 is put back into the local economy by business owners who also strive to stay local with their purchases. So, by using Plymouths local double-glazing specialists you’re also helping your community to thrive in the process!

3. A friendly face when you need it most

Occasionally, as with everything in life, issues can occur with double glazed units and other home improvement products. This is when you need a friendly & professional ear to listen to the problem and rectify it as quickly as possible. Larger double-glazing firms tend to pass this duty on to a faceless call centre, which can take an age to even get to the root of the issue let alone fix it! Reputable double-glazing companies truly value your custom and therefore want your repeat business, preferring to meet you in person to address your concerns as swiftly as possible; for complete peace of mind all round.

4. Personal touch

The majority of local double-glazing companies in Plymouth are run by real people, who know the area like the back of their hand. Understanding the importance of retaining renowned Plymouth aesthetics, local double-glazing companies recognise the needs of customers and meet this with passion and localised expertise that double glazing outside the area simply cannot measure up to.

5. Local jobs boost

By investing in a Plymouth double glazing company, it may surprise you to learn that this has a positive effect on the local jobs market too. This is due to the simple fact that small businesses are the largest employers of jobs on a national scale, therefore they offer the most jobs to the local community as a whole. It’s also interesting to note that local employers are more likely to pay a higher (average) wage than larger chains and franchises. So, by enlisting the help of knowledgeable local installers you’re also playing a part in boosting Plymouths local job market too!
