As summer wanes and we start looking forward to the dazzling year-end rush of holidays, parties, guests, and fun, there’s never been a better time for you to get ahead of the Christmas crunch and get your home ready for a festive season that everyone will remember. With the ease and simplicity of an Oak Porches UK porch add-on, you can have the best house on the block long before your neighbours even think of dragging out the Christmas decorations- hassle-free!
The Construction Christmas Holiday
As anyone who’s had a home emergency knows all too well, it’s custom for the building and construction trade in the UK to close for a lengthy period over the year-end holidays. While there’s no fixed date for this protracted closure, and every firm does it a little differently, it’s rare indeed to find a ‘tradie’ working past the closest Friday to the 19th of December.
No one is doing it to spite you, no matter how it may feel if you have a last-minute job to handle! No matter what industry you work in yourself, you know that getting stockists that are open, sourcing supplies, and other day-to-day business activities gets tougher as the festive season gets underway. With more people on leave, orders take longer to fulfil, too. In the construction trades, this supply-line interruption gets even stickier, especially for custom orders and unusual parts. And your team wants your job to be a success.
No one wants to over-promise and under-deliver because their supply-line was on holiday instead of fulfilling orders. Plus, construction and home maintenance is one of the few job areas in the modern workplace where hard physical labour is a given. It’s good for workers to take some time off to destress and rest, ready to face the glut of new January orders with a fresh face.
Couple that with the dingy weather that can sometimes hit the UK at the end of the year, making outdoor work near-impossible at times, and it’s easy to see why the year-end holiday makes sense for industry insiders. Yet it’s also the time of year where New Year’s resolutions, and the rush to get homes ship-shape for festive parties, starts to creep onto homeowner’s radars. Your grungy entrance area didn’t bother you so much when you were spending most of your time outdoors in the summer. Now your mother-in-law is arriving imminent, ready to pick apart your hospitality, it’s a different story.
Luckily, you’re smart, so planning ahead is the name of your game. And the Oak Porches UK team is here to help!
Beat the Rush- Order Your Oak Porch Today
Now the summer holidays are over, and it’s time to get serious for the last stretch of the year. It’s also the perfect weather for some home improvement. While summer rains aren’t entirely off the cards, the weather is typically pretty clement and forgiving for the stretch into the festive season. It’s not too hot to tackle a DIY job if you’re in the mood, and professional contractors aren’t too booked up to squeeze you in before the holiday season. With supply lines running as normal, you can get what you want in a timeous manner, and you have time to plan (and breathe) before the social whirl at the end of the year. Plus, no chance of finding your contact person is on leave already. So there’s no better time than the present to make your home improvement dreams a reality.
