Detailed reviews

Anonymous5.0 / 5 ·

The sales representative arrived on time (others didn’t!) and was very professional/courteous/knowledgeable. He left with an order, which says everything. The surveyor arrived on time and was professional in his way of working along with being courteous and friendly. The fitting crew, including the surveyor, arrived on time and cracked on with the task of replacing our bifold door. The job was carried out with no drama and the work area was cleaned thoroughly by them when finished. The guys were friendly and very obviously knew their job 100%.

Worth checking yourself

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.

Check the TrustMark register
Never pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
