Last July, Brackenwood Windows and Conservatories held an exclusive open day in their stylish Basingstoke showroom. Amongst a barbecue, good wine and a bouncy castle for the kids, they offered one lucky couple the once in a lifetime opportunity to win a conservatory.

One year later, our team find out how the lucky winners, Mr and Mrs Tucker from Hatch Warren are enjoying their prize conservatory, installed and built, compliments of Brackenwood. Relaxing in the modern conservatory, Maritza Tucker explains: “We are really pleased, it is great quality and still looks brand new, which is fantastic”.

The open day was packed with hundreds of keen prospective buyers viewing Brackenwood’s extensive range. Maritza Tucker and her husband came to the open day to help push forward their conservatory plans. “Although we had already been and spoken to one of Brackenwood’s team, we wanted to go again to find out more, whilst browsing we saw the competition opportunity and decided to enter “.

To win the conservatory contestants were asked to answer a mystery question, which the couple answered correctly. In the next stage, nervous entrants had to estimate the price of a door; and Maritza and her husband were close enough to the actual price to make it to the final round with four other couples.

Each couple that made it to the final stage of the competition were handed a set of keys to try to open the door of the prize conservatory. When it was their turn, an excited Mr and Mrs Tucker walked up to the door of the competition conservatory, placed the key in the lock, and the door opened - they had won the conservatory!

The couple were able to choose any conservatory they wanted to the value of £10,000, from Brackenwood’s brand new showroom. Choosing from their extensive range with the option of any colour (a 1500 colour range) they opted for the ‘Edwardian style’ in a polished white finish.

Brackenwood’s specialist team visited their home and installed the conservatory quickly and smoothly - from the foundations to the roof. With the kids playing at her feet on the conservatory floor, Maritza explains how hassle-free the installation process was: “I didn’t realise how much work goes into the construction, but the team were fantastic - professional, clean, tidy and amazingly quick - it only took a few weeks.”

One year on, standing on her patio outside the stylish conservatory (which is still in pristine condition) Mrs. Tucker explains how she is still thrilled with the finished product. “Brackenwood are very good quality, if you require quality and a reliable and friendly service then opt for Brackenwood. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family” explains Maritza.

The couple found that not only did the conservatory provide extra space but also it could be used in many different ways. “The conservatory has been a great addition to our house. Being a five-person family, a conservatory is extremely useful to provide that extra space. In summer it’s fantastic - definitely our favourite room, we spend a great amount of time in there. Even when it rains, you are able to appreciate the garden. We relax in there and the children do, it’s something for the whole family”.
