Comment A very nice young man, who I would recommend and employ again. He phoned when held up in traffic, he replaced two cracked window panes, he cleared up afterwards. Margaret

Comment A superb job of restoring our sash windows for a reasonable price. Cleaned up very thoroughly and even brought their own vacuum cleaner! Worked extremely hard and always friendly, courteous and good-humoured. Highly recommended. Louise

Job The handle on my kitchen window no longer brings down the mechanism which secures the window shut in to place. I believe that the gearbox needs replacing.

Comment David was really pleasant and efficient. He was able to identify the problem and get the part and fix it all same day. Even though it took over an hour he only charged me the hour he had quoted for. I've already recommended him to family. Lydia

Job I had brand new sash and non-sash windows made earlier this year. They were fitted by a fitter who turned out to be a cowboy and I am left with windows that do not shut properly. I'm looking for someone who can re-fit the windows / tweak the fitting so that they keep a bit more of the winter wind out of my flat!

Comment There were some problems with this work. The guys didn't come on time, though were hampered by bad weather, and also some months later there are problems with lots of the work that they did. They were supposed to send me a report so I could use this in corresponding with the people who made my windows - this report was integral to them doing the work - and this never came. I was disappointed. Wendy

Comment We chose Bennbrook Windows after comparing quotes, quality and the actual people we dealt with. Chris (The Owner) was very acommodating when specifying windows and certainly knows his trade. Good honest advice too, no hard sell which was most refreshing. Price was very competitive as well compared to some other glazing companies we checked. Installation & Service Calls The windows were installed in 2 days which seems to be just right for the number of windows and doors. The only thing I would advise would be on site and check the installers work periodically, also cover up around the whole room and remove as much away from the work areas as there can be a lot of dust from the old windows and we did find pieces of glass in some places after the installation. On completion (and after the drying time) check the seals and edges. Bennbrook were very good at responding to and attending service call requests for a couple of the Windows that required resealing and pane replacement. Overall very pleased with the work and quality of the Windows and would recommend them. Peter

Comment I have had Bennbrook in to install a Conservatory, the quality of the work seems very good, however there were some communication problems. I was not kept updated on the procedures, 2 weeks passed after giving the initial deposit before I called to find out what was happening I then had to keep calling several times during the build to find out why no one had turned up after being told they would. We specifically needed the job to be done before Christmas and as we saw that date looming closer we tried to make sure that it would get done and were given a completion date, that date passed, then another date, that passed, finally someone came on the 23rd Dec to try to finish. I very much appreciate someone coming on this late date to try to finish as it seems this person hadn't been told by the office that we needed it done before Christmas, this man seemed to be under the impression he could finish on the 4th Jan. HOWEVER, the worst and most unprofessional part of this was when I was contacted on Christmas Eve by Chris Brooks from sales leaving me a message demanding payment. I had gone away for Christmas to my parents, where there is no phone reception so on my return on boxing day called the office in the hope of leaving them a message saying that I didn't think the job had been completed yet as the skirting board had come away from the wall and I hadn't yet received an invoice from them. They had no answer machine so I could leave a message. On the 28th I received a very rude phone call from Chris Brooks again demanding money. I explained the situation and he accused me of lying that no invoice had been left and that I was trying to put off payment over an insignificant thing. I explained that I didn't think the current state of the conservatory deemed it finished and when it was finished I would be quite happy to pay, on the receipt of an invoice. Also, we would be paying by bank transfer which would mean using the computer at home at the end of the working day, so I couldn't pay there and then anyway. Also the very reason that the conservatory needed to be finished was because we had guests and therefore it was not convenient for anyone to come before the 2nd Jan. After rudeness that I have never experienced before, telling me how I was being awkward by not letting anyone come while I had guests, telling me how I could organise my day around it, again accusing me of lying that no invoice had been left and accusing me of trying not to pay. He then decided that he himself, the sales man, would come round that same day, fix the skirting board and bring an invoice. Which he did, with some flowers and an excuse of a bad Christmas as an apology. He then nailed the skirting board to the wall and finished. I finally had the invoice and paid in full that same day. I have had no receipt yet...not so efficient in acknowledging the money as demanding it! It's a shame it ended like this, the builders were friendly and Tracy in the office friendly too, just a lack of communication between all parties. Chris Brooks however, ruined that good impression I had of the company. Please beware. hannah
