Well deserved 5 stars
Well deserved 5 stars. Darren and Lynne were amazing from start to finish. No intense sales talk just proper advice. The window film is a brilliant product wish I'd have found this company ages ago. No more nosey neighbours!! Darren came to fit and was a lovely curteous hardworking guy. Highly recommended.

What can I say first class service work carried out in a professional way. The product is what it says it does. I am so pleased with what was done I’m having my conservatory done now.

I contacted Smashgard with a view to reducing the heat in my lounge. Speaking to a lady called Lynn I instantly had a good feel for the ethics of the company. She advised me succinctly on the products available. I placed my request to have an installation of the film. Darren arrived he was very professional, explained everything in detail, a lovely person, felt totally at ease. I'm so pleased that I chose Smashgard, everything was perfect. I can highly commend this Company Thank you Darren and Lynn. Dawn Simmonds
We had the delight of Darren coming to…
We had the delight of Darren coming to put film on our windows initially we had a couple of south facing rear windows done and the quality of workmanship and product used is excellent so we booked straight away to the rest of our windows done again the quality and standard of workmanship and products used excellent and floor less attention to detail superb. The film is brilliant it keeps our south facing rooms cooler and all our windows now have privacey without the need for net curtains. If you are looking to have this done don't hesitate to contact Smashgard Window films Darren is a lovely chap backed by a lovely friendly team.
Very friendly and efficeint service
Very friendly and efficeint service. I am so happy with the results and the company I have asked for another quote.
If something seems to good to be true it usually isn't, this is not the case with this company - they do what they say on the box.

Really pleased with the work carried out by Darren and his advice when choosing the depth of tint for our lounge windows . Fitted expertly and with the minimum of disruption . Darren was polite, helpful and clearly very knowledgeable of his products and peace of mind about being able to change at no extra cost if I did not like it . Darren was recommended by a family friend and I would happily recommend again from our own experience . Privacy restored , thank you Darren
Game Changer!
We found Darren via an internet search and were a little sceptical that it would be what we are looking for. We arranged our appointment via Lynne in the office who advised we would not be disappointed with our decision. Darren arrived, he was polite, professional and friendly, a pleasure to have in my home.
Darren helped us chose the tint for our lounge windows, we wanted privacy but for the room not to be too dark, we went with the lightest one available. Darren advised if we didn't like it, we could change our mind, we decided to give it a go. WOW, one panel out of five had gone up and I already knew I would love it.
It is fab to not have net curtains at my gorgeous bay window, it lets light in now and I have the confidence in knowing people cannot see in, the best of both worlds.
I cannot recommend Darren enough, it is as good as the website says, you will not be disappointed. A great alternative to net curtains - I will never go back to those things! Thanks Darren and Lynne, I smile every time I enter my lounge now.
What can I say
What can I say, fabulous service friendly and most helpful so you know what’s best to get. Genuine company and fantastic service. Our van looks so smart now! Thanks you for the recommendation and the hard work you have put in. If we need anything else doing we will be in touch most definitely. Highly recommended company, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks again
Great service and end result
Right from my initial enquiry, the service and information I received was excellent.
The suggestion and choice of the Privacy Film has been a complete success, and the fitting was carried out professionally and without fuss.
We can now sit and watch the confused faces of passers-by, wondering why they can't see in!
What a great job Darren from Smashgard did for us
What a great job Darren did for us. He explained all available options and I'm so glad we took his advice on the natural look of the windows. As our cottage is nearly 300 years old, a mirrored finish would have looked totally out of place. What we have gives some visibility just inside the window so you can see blinds, curtains etc. but the filter works to prevent visibility further in.
It's certainly a great way to deter nosey neighbours from looking in.
Amazing product and service
From the off Darren and Lynn were knowledgable and friendly. We followed Darrens expertise and we are not disappointed. We have had the film put through the house and it works a treat. I highly recommend Darren.
Great service and value for money made…

Conservatory roof installation
We had film installed on our conservatory roof to lessen the heat in there during the summer months.
Darren gave a full explanation of the product and his guarantees and he came promptly on the given day. His installation was extremely professional and social distancing was observed at all times.
We are very happy with the end results and would recommend Darren and his company to anyone.
From our initial contact First class privacy film
From our initial contact and visit to the office to check out the product we have been very happy with the excellent communication and service.
Fitting of the films to the front of our house was done efficiently and the result is great.
Much better than blinds and lets so much more light into the house.
Many thanks

Excellent service
Excellent service, from the time we made an enquiry regarding the price, to booking this in with Lynn (who was professional and courteous) to Darren arriving to fit our window films whilst applying social distancing, in line with Government guidelines.
We would 100% recommend this company and would certainly use them again ourselves if we had a need to do so.
