Windows and doors reviews (152)

Darren and his helper took the door off to carry out the refurbishment on site (on the pavement in front of the house) and seem to have done a good repair job. The door had a couple of cracks in the panels, and some damage to mouldings, which were repaired. They put the door back on again in the evening, which was a good way to do it, rather than have the expense of a temporary door and the door taken away to repair. The improvement to the door function and appearance is excellent. One problem which was not resolved is that some of the new paint on the door, where it comes into contact with the frame, peeled off as soon as the door was closed and reopened. Darren said to leave the door for a couple of hours as the top layer of paint was still tacky. We left it for much longer than that before eventually closing it, when we had to, that night. The problem seems to be that the final coat of paint was rushed, applied too early before the layer below had properly cured- as a result the paint peeled off down to the undercoat. When told about this Darren said to patch it up ourselves (he had left the almost empty paint can with us for touching up the paint if necessary). As the damage was a line of peeled off paint, down to the white undercoat, showing up clearly through the dark blue top coat, from top to bottom of our large door, I do not think this was acceptable. Overall a good job, somewhat spoiled by a hurried finish.

Darren completed the work satisfactorily but this was overshadowed by 7 missed calls the following morning chasing for payment, which felt unprofessional and bordering on harassment. He also spoke very rudely to his colleague whilst completing the work. Overall we weren't left with the best impression.

Darren booked my job in very quickly which I needed having been let down by another company who failed to attend. Darren clearly explained the pricing and all the work involved. Darren arrived on site when agreed and did the job with mimum fuss, charged the agreed price and cleared up taking all the rubbish away too. I'd reccomend Darren.

Great communication from Darren throughout. Prompt and professional - work carried out to a high standard. Would definitely recommend.

Darren was really helpful and generous with his time - he gave me a call and explained how to open the vents on our windows, and said that should fix the condensation problem without him needing to come out and charge us. If we do have any further issues I will definitely contact Darren again.

Darren completed the repair quickly and gave us some useful advice.

Darren did a great job at a good price. Polite, friendly and efficient, he fixed 6 of our sash windows with new cills and repairs to frames. Highly recommend.

Hi Darren was very patient while my management company got their act together. He attended as agreed and completed the repair to my porch and front door as discussed He repaired the door and frame as agreed to a very high standard I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is considering similar work. Thanks Darren

Darren gave good communication before and after completing the job - fitting an external wooden door to a brick shed. He showed good workmanship throughout and spent time on additional touches to ensure a good finish. Happy with the outcome. Thank you

Darren was very responsive and clear. He showed up on time, gave a reasonable quote, and did a great job. I would definitely use him again.
