It’s unlikely that your heating has switched on even once during this glorious spell of summer weather, so though the plants in the garden might not be relishing the heatwave, it’s certainly not been harming our pockets. Right now, we’re having the perfect weather for enjoying our conservatory spaces – they’re a great place for a leisurely breakfast during the cooler part of the day, or for the whole family to come together and relax in the evenings.

Wall mounted electric radiators are superb for conservatory heating so get a head-start on your comfort before it turns too chilly!
