Testimonials

Fast and reliable service, highly recommend bath and west windows, very friendly, polite and cleared up after themselves. Job well done.

Mark did a professional job - the windows look good. He serviced our existing windows (which he fitted 8 yrs ago) without charge.

I am very happy with the windows and service I received. I wanted reasonably priced windows, installed by a company I could trust, within a specific time frame and they delivered. Any initial concerns with not using a “big name” quickly disappeared. Mark was very helpful when discussing my requirements and was friendly and professional throughout. The quality of the windows was good, their price very competitive and they look great. Mark’s team fitted the windows quickly and efficiently and met my timescale. They had a good eye for detail and were very tidy. I would use them again.

Just having moved to Bath - required 4 new windows and 3 doors and not knowing any tradesmen in the area, I picked Mark and his team based on good reviews only. I was very glad I did! From the first contact the service was superb, extremely professional and after fitting all the windows I was extremely pleased with the quality of product and workmanship. The price was also very competitive and fitted my tight budget I must commend Mark for his great approach and friendly helpful manner, and his team for a tidy and first class job. The windows and doors have transformed the house!

Excellent service, friendly, polite, excellent.

Mark was extremely helpful and easy to deal with throughout the entire project. We were introduced to him via the main builder on our project and never looked back. Being an old house, some of our 15 or so windows and doors were put into some very odd shaped walls which didn't prove a problem. I'd highly recommend Mark and his company as firstly they did a great job and secondly they were very pleasant to deal with. I wouldn't think twice about using the company again for future projects.
