Did you know...?
Even though we are a Nationwide company, we are based in Wareham, Dorset which is just a stone's throw away from Bournemouth & Poole, within walking distance from the train station, and easily accessed from most locations throughout Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset and beyond.
So, if you are in the Dorset area why not come and visit our showroom to see our range of Awnings, Glass Verandas, Aluminium Pergolas, Louvered Roofs and our full range of products designed to enhance your outdoor living experience
Nationwide have been installing high quality outdoor living products for over 30 years. With many of our products manufactured right here in Dorset.
Our Patio Awnings & Verandas are custom made to suit the exact requirements of the customer. Being every installation is bespoke, we are often able to provide solutions to install our products where others are unable.
We are proud to have over 50,000 satisfied customers across the UK.
We provide a comprehensive range of Verandas to suit any property style or personal preference. Often people will choose a more traditional design for the older style property and a contemporary design for the more modern building but you can pick and choose as you please!
Our Dorset showroom has several of our Verandas on display so why not make a visit?
An Awning that we recently installed for a customer in Wareham, Dorset
In addition to our Patio Awning range, we provide other innovative designs such as Freestanding Awnings, Sun & Rain Awnings and Window Sun Canopies. Each serve a slightly different application but all are custom made using only the best materials to ensure a lifetime of trouble-free enjoyment.
A Veranda will allow you to enjoy the outdoors in all seasons and no matter what the weather is doing. At Nationwide, we can provide a range of options to enhance your Veranda making it even more versatile. Our Sliding & Fixed Glass Walls are ideal for those looking to partially or fully enclose the structure.
Most of our addons can be installed at the time of the initial installation or at any point in the future.
As well as Fixed & Sliding Glass Walls, many people like to incorporate our Climate Control Sun Screens into their Veranda. Clime Control Screens provide many benefits. Designed to block heat and UV rays without cutting the light, they can also provide privacy and thanks to the way the fabric zips into the guide rails, you get the added benefit of keeping unwanted insects away.
One of our newest products is the Aluminium Louvered Pergola. Aluminium Pergolas can either be freestanding or mounted to your property. At the press of a button, you can control the light and shade by rotating the louvres to your preference.
If the weather turns against you then simply close the louvres and you are then protected from the weather.
Just like our Verandas, Aluminium Louvered Roofs are fully compatible with our Sliding Glass Walls and Climate Control Screens allowing you to fully or partially enclose your structure.
Our free design consultation service is available to anyone across England & Wales. We visit your home and run through all available options, show photos and samples, take necessary measurements and provide a written quotation with your chosen outdoor living solution.
If you are residing within the Bournemouth, Poole and surrounding areas of Dorset we would encourage you to visit our Wareham showroom to get a first-hand look at the quality of the products we have to offer.
Thanks to our specialist design team we often install our Awnings & Verandas where others cannot. Using bespoke brackets and framework we engineer a solution to overcome most obstacles. It is extremely common for us to install to bungalows!
In most cases - yes! - we provide a range of freestanding options, again, using bespoke framework to make the product completely independent from the building. We regularly install our products to, for example, static and park homes.
In almost all domestic/residential settings, planning permission is not required for an Awning. Of course, there are always exceptions (for example listed buildings or conservation areas) so if you are unsure then it is best to check
It is very uncommon to require planning permission for a Veranda. However, there are exceptions. The main times that planning permission is required is when you are installing to a listed building, the Veranda is larger than 50% of the land the original property covers or the Veranda is more than 3m in height.
If in doubt then it can pay to check with your local authority. The term "Veranda" is very ambiguous and can relate to a lot of other types of products unrelated to ours. It is always best to refer to it as a "Glass Canopy" or "Lean-to Roof" when making any enquiries.
As each installation is unique to you, we can tailor solutions to overcome obstacles. Whether it is utilising bespoke framework or implementing glass cut outs in Veranda Roofs, we can usually come with up with a suitable solution.
Each of our installations are unique to property we are installing to. We provide a free design consultation service whereby we will visit your property and run through all options and take all required measurements. A quotation can then be provided.
For those local to our Dorset Showroom then please feel free to pop in and have a look at the range of products we provide. If you bring photographs of your property and the area you wish to have the product installed, we can provide a guide price at that time.
