Hi! Thanks Jogep for contributing, and hope that this issue gets resolved for everyone.
If you look in the doorstep regulations, and in the Implementing Guidance to the regulations, its says conservatories are subject to the legislation, so 14 days should apply. And it doesn't differentiate between normal conservatories or bespoke...it simply says conservatories. I wouldn't look for support for double glazing issues against these regulations, but for conservatories or building improvements, its a clear indication I am entitled to 14 days cooling off.
I've taken the Exceptions quote from the gov.uk website verbatim and pasted it here:
Exceptions
These rules don’t apply to:
* financial services eg mortgages, pensions, insurance
* contracts for the construction of new houses and flats, sale or rental of property (but they do apply to estate agents’ marketing services, extensions, patios, conservatories or driveways and to repairs, refurbishment and improvement of property)
* contracts for food and drink supplied by regular roundsmen, like a milkman
* contracts worth £42 or less
So in the second bullet point, its says that the rules DO apply to extensions and conservatories (within the brackets). So thats a valid point as defence.
I agree with your second point; the contract does not say anywhere that the conservatory is bespoke, and salesman did not say that it would be a bespoke item, so I'm entitled to 14 days cooling off.
Furthermore, I have emailed the GGF 3 times over the last 10 days with my issue (there is an easy way to contact them on their website so I urge everyone to do it) but they have not responded.
Thanks everyone!
