Very prompt response in acknowledging the issue, clear quotes given, incredibly flexible with accommodating my availability and professional service provided in carrying out the repairs. Highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to use again if issues occur in the future.

    Replacement front door window cassette

    Posted 27 November

    I needed an emergency repair to my front door window. The tradesman from A1 came out within a few hours, measured up and I was then sent a very reasonable quote. The work was carried out the same day. I cannot fault the service I received from start to finish. I would 100% recommend this company. I also need some repairs to some of my misted up double glazed windows and will definitely be using A1 again in the near future.

    Efficient, Professional and Affordable

    Posted 18 November

    Initial visit and quote to replace bathroom window was done incredibly swiftly, and both Alan and Lewis shared thoughts on what a good solution to an awkward window would be, keeping in mind budget and space limitations. On installation day, Craig arrived exactly on time, and was professional, knowledgeable and diligent throughout. I've used A1 for a job several years ago and was really impressed then, and it seems like they've gotten even better. Would 100% recommend.

    They go above and beyond!

    Posted 13 November

    We’ve had front door and several windows replaced by A1 and we’ve always found them absolutely spot on. Today electrical delivery company turned up and announced we’d need to take front door off to get American fridge freezer into the house. I rang the office and explained my predicament and Lewis was here within 10 minutes, saving me from several more grey hairs, a mental breakdown and a costly failed delivery. Lewis removed door and replaced it once fridge freezer was in the house, Very grateful for Lewis going above and beyond, A1 is the best!

    Professional quality service regarding bifold door pane replacement and fitting

    Posted 06 November

    Replaced two bifold door windows that had 'blown' and were condensating between the glass panes. From order, bespoke size replacement units were installed in a little over two weeks by Cameron who was very personable and skilled at his work. He also 'toe and heeled' our two exit bifold doors which had dropped and were catching. This required exact adjustment due to expansion which occurs to these doors in sunshine / south facing aspect. Finally Cameron replaced the bottom sealing gasket specific to the manufacturer of our bifolds. I would thoroughly recommend this co. for value and service.
