"We are in the process of appointing a liquidator and once this is implemented all our creditors will be notified.It is not known what precipitated the company's sudden collapse, but customers were left struggling with unfinished jobs, in one case conservatories with no watertight roof.Customer Dave Nightingale of Clive Road, Shrewsbury says he paid £6,800 in full for a new conservatory roof, glazing units, light installation and an overall health check on September 30.
A sign on the company's door said the premises have been closed"until further notice whilst we seek financial advice”.Mr Nightingale was one of a number of Heritage customers to make contact with the Shropshire Star this week. Before its sudden collapse, Heritage Glass seems to have had an excellent reputation for quality work.

According to the FENSA website it regularly assesses companies to ensure standards are continually maintained. FENSA has been asked to comment.
