We hope you are safe and well in these most uncertain times and want to bring you up to speed with what we have been doing since our reopening and with what’s new at Bereco.

During the national lockdown we remain open for business.

We continue to make deliveries of your windows and doors and have contactless delivery procedures in place to keep you and our delivery drivers safe but our sales and showroom appointments have been temporarily suspended as have our site services.

Our offices reopened on Monday 11th May 2020 and whilst we have made some changes to the way in which we work to improve our service and introduced new procedures that ensure the safety of our staff and our customers we are still offering the same high quality timber windows and doors made from only sustainable 100% FSC certified wood and continue to do so on a 6-8 week lead time from order.

We appreciate that this may be a concerning time to be paying deposits for any products not just windows and doors. To give you some confidence on this we recommend checking the financial data available on Companies House where the balance sheets are readily available for all UK businesses. We also highly recommend making this part of your pre-selection process when choosing a supplier in future and choosing a company that has the most current posted accounts and positive net current assets and a liquidity ratio of 2.0 and higher.

Whilst this data might not be up to the minute it’s a great indicator of a business’s ability to finance its day to day operation (so they won’t need your cash).
