Extremely disappointed
A little over two years ago, we had ADF install two bay windows and a composite front door.
Shortly after installation, we noticed several issues. The lock barrel on the door was protruding from the door itself and was fitted in silver, despite all other fixtures and handles being brass. We also found that the rubber seals around the bay window glass had started bulging out around the sills.
ADF initially responded quickly and came out to attempt repairs. However, once they left, nothing had actually changed. I contacted them again, and they returned to replace the door barrel with a brass one and claimed they had replaced the rubber seals.
Unfortunately, only a few months later, the same issues reappeared. On top of this, damp started coming through the window. Once again, ADF agreed to come out and said they would replace the seals with something more suitable. Instead, they simply applied clear silicone between the glass and frame, along with poorly finished grey silicone around the external seals.
I immediately reported this, as the workmanship was unacceptable. Since then, they have returned and replaced two of the glass panels, but I am still waiting for the large panel, which I was told was damaged in transit. Despite being promised by ADF that all of the silicone would be removed and corrected properly, this has still not been done.
Throughout this process, there has been no sense of urgency to resolve the issues, nor any genuine apology for the inconvenience caused. I am now being told that although the new unit has arrived, I must wait another two weeks due to staff holidays.
Overall, I am extremely disappointed with both the quality of the installation and the aftercare service provided. Based on my experience, I would not recommend ADF to anyone.
