Warming hearts and homes A Hull-based VEKA fabricator and installer, Yorkshire Windows and Doors Ltd has come to the aid of a local family struggling with unmanageable heating bills, largely caused by outdated glazing in their new home. »»Beki Taylor and her family had been living in the property for just four months when they received a heating bill for £800. “I put two and two together” says Beki, “and we got a window supplier to come and have a look at all the windows in the house. He found that 75% of heat was being lost through our windows.” What made the circumstances absolutely critical is the life-threatening leukaemia that affects Beki’s two-year-old daughter, Georgiana, “It is important that we get Georgi’s room warm enough,” Beki explains, “because she can easily pick up cold or flu. Last time she had flu she had to be hospitalised and was put in intensive care.” Realising the gravity of the situation, the family quickly turned to Yorkshire Windows and Doors Ltd – a trusted provider of industry-leading PVCu systems from The VEKA UK Group. Andy Winn, the fitter who attended to assess the family’s home for a quote, was struck by their story. Beki continues: “When we told Andy what Georgi was going through, he got really upset. “When he came back with what we thought was an estimate a week or so later, he just hugged me and said the company would like to fit all the windows and our front and back door as a gift from them and their suppliers to get our little girl better.” The family would have faced with a £9000 bill for the window and door installation. Colin Torley, Sales and Marketing Director for The VEKA UK Group commented: “Yorkshire Windows and Doors has made a truly remarkable contribution to support Georgi and her family. We wish Georgi and her family well in their cosy new home!” Packed with information and advice, each supplement brings you an insight into the latest products and services. ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO...
