Fab firm for window film
5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Brilliant service and product.
Darren was friendly, polite and professional. He explained the benefits of the different types of film we could choose and was highly skilled in applying the product to my windows and doors in my lounge. Am extremely pleased with the result of the film for both privacy and anti glare from the sun. Lynne in the office was extremely friendly and helpful too. I would highly recommend this business.

Thoroughly Recommend
A great pleasure to deal with a company like this. The product had been recommended and when we first contacted Lynne in the office it became apparent that we were dealing with genuinely nice people with the ethic of doing a great job. Darren came out and did a fantastic job of explaining everything, recommending which film would suit our needs best and doing a clean installation with no disruption. Aftercare has also been exceptional with contact checking all ok and that we are happy. Have already recommended to several neighbours and friends.
Great job !
Darren made a fantastic job of my windows, gave good advice on which of the different films to choose, and was a pleasure to meet for the installation. Lynne in the office also deserves thanks for her help and efficiency. Highly recommended.

Sun damage prevention
From start to finish the customer service received was friendly, efficient and informative. Easy to use system for obtaining an online quote and fitting was very smooth with plenty of advice given on the best product to install. Definitely value for money and pleased to have gone ahead with instalation of the film as has made a huge difference in preventing glare and hopefully future sun damage. Has made sitting by the living room windows so much more comfortable.
Great alternative to net curtains
We were fed up with losing a large part of the views from our windows by the necessity for net curtains to retain our privacy. We enquired to Smashgard and were hugely impressed by the way in which they approached the enquiry and took time to answer all of our questions. We obtained a quotation which was an easy process and that we felt was extremely competitive.
The owner of the business, Darren, came to fit the screening for us and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. We had a choice of film that he guided us through and he took time to detail out the 10 year warranties from himself and the film manufacturers.
The finished project is absolutely brilliant. The levels of professionalism from our first enquiry, to quotation and application have been exemplary and we would readily recommend this product and this company.

Darren was really polite,,friendly and professional,even gave us the option of fitting one piece to glass and if we did not like it,we could change for something different,you can't fault that for service.The room was left as clean when he left,as when he arrived.So much better than the blinds we had,would highly recommend.
Great replacement for tired conservatory blinds
Darren was extremely professional, polite, and finished the job ahead of schedule. I had reflective film fitted to the conservatory roof and privacy film on some of the side panels. Darren went out of his way to make sure I was happy with the work, and Lynne in the office also made the process easy - I would definitely use them again.

Darren fitted each glazing with perfection and took his time, not rushing at all. He is amazing and wonderful explaining everything. 10 years warranty!
The end result was a Wow factor. We can open our curtains/ blinds during the day and we have fabulous privacy at the same time.
It's amazing.
Brilliant Service&Product 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Darren delivered a first class installation and unlike other organisations he really helped me to decide what works better for my property. I was originally going to go with a darker tint and glad I did not and the lighter tint film still gives me comfortable privacy. Darren explained all my options and was very helpful and honest. Lynne at reception also very knowledgeable and will always do her best to help you with what you need not what they want to sell. A company with great ethics I would definitely use again
