I've been using Sash Window Specialist for many years now and I can honestly say you won't get a nicer bunch of guys. They have done all sorts of work for me in two different houses. From glazing replacements, sash unit overhauls/replacements right the way to providing me with bi-folding sliding double-glazed doors. I honestly love these guys and will continue to use them and recommend them to friends and family!
“We are really pleased with the quality of the work and the finished result – it has made a real difference to our house and we cant believe the amount of noise reduction! The job was also done in the time quoted which is extremely rare from our past experiences”
We were delighted with our sash windows. They refurbished the majority of windows in our house, and created new sashes to replace modern metal frames and to use in our extension. They were pleasant, extremely knowledgeable and did a great job at a great price. We have had no problem with the windows in the five years since, and they still delight us. We recommend them highly.
"they fitted replacement double glazed sashes to my property back and front and I have been delighted with them. I had old secondary glazing in the front which was ugly and did not do the job. I now no longer have condensation dripping down the windows and the house is quieter and warmer. After doing some research into specialist companies I am so pleased that I chose the Sash Window Specialist. Liam is very knowledgeable and the work carried out was done with the minimum of disruption. My new windows have transformed the house. Very happy with the Sash Window Specialists and would certainly recommend without hesitation."
“We are really pleased with the new seal fitted to the windows; as well as stopping draughts the improved soundproofing is excellent”
"A friend wisely advised us to have one room done first. We were so pleased with the result that we had all the other twelve windows replaced. We live in a conservation area and it was important that the new windows looked exactly the same as the originals. The work was completed so efficiently and so neatly that we cannot recommend Liam and his company highly enough. We survived the cold spells of this winter with our thermostat set several degrees lower than in the past. On stormy days, we no longer have any rattling windows"
“…honest and didn’t try to bombard me with ‘professional terminology’ and extortionate prices; received several quotes by other companies yours was by far the most realistic (one company suggested I remove all my windows!!) and broken down in an easy to understand way”
We’re very happy with the new windows Sash Window Specialist put in. Very good communication, very timely updates (pictures in e-mail sent during the manufacture), quick and hassle free installation. We’ve been passing on their details to any of our friends that need good quality window replacement. Highly recommended!
“An absolutely excellent job. Its a real pleasure to deal with somebody that takes such pride in their work and is so honest in their approach. A faultless service from beginning to end.”
“…. conducted themselves with the upmost professionalism… shown integrity and credibility by advising us against a more expensive solution. We can wholeheartedly recommend Sash Window Specialist.”
“Chosen over a larger competitor as was impressed by professional approach and passion for work as well as being very cost effective. Excellent customer service from beginning to end and a superb finished product which has made a major difference to the property”
Thanks for sorting out my windows – they are marvellous!”.
Great job speedily done. Sash advised us on how best to use our money rather than up selling us. Will use again, recommended
“Thanks for a job well done. Clean considerate honest worker.”
“Truly excellent thank you!”
“Very Professional and delivered product on time with minimum disruption during installation’
“Really pleased with the windows”
“.. especially helpful and straight forward. He listened to what I wanted and understood exactly. I would work with Sash Window Specialist again and recommend him.”
“We are extremely pleased with the results & will be in touch regarding repairs to further windows.”
“You did an excellent job – many thanks!”
“Thanks for the work Liam, especially the discovery (and hopefully cure!) of the horror below the stonework in the middle bedroom. We will be in touch again for the final works but possibly not until autumn. Many Thanks”
“Thanks a lot. The windows look stunning. Happy to be a reference for you”
We appreciate the quality of your craftsmanship to date. A testimonial would certainly be forthcoming if required”.
“We’re really pleased with how they look, so many thanks for everything”.
“Excellent service – a job well done!!”
Thanks for sorting out my windows – they are marvellous!”.
“Nice job.”
