Very helpful and a great service. Helped me identify the exact part I needed, only low in value on an older Fakro roof window but provided great service when other companies would likely not. Will us... See more

Thank you Claire

Fantastic company to deal with, Claire was so helpful with my endless queries. Would definitely recommend and use again. Windows arrived quickly and we're really pleased with the finished look.

Product arrived in good condition. Not easy to install but manageable. Looks good once installed.

Products good, Customer Service very disappointing

Products are good - our windows and blinds are fifteen years old now, and we have just had the first need to repair a blind.

However, very disappointed with Fakro Customer Service, a real "Computer says No" attitude - flat refusal to engage with us on either repair or replacement unless we could produce the blind's serial number and, despite thorough examination of the blind, we could not (we recall now there were some adhesive paper labels which came off after several years in the sunshine and which we did not keep).

We were subsequently able quite easily though to identify a replacement blind on Fakro's linked blind vendor partner's website - quite why Fakro's Customer Service couldn't/ wouldn't help us with that is a mystery.

It's a real shame that we will never know whether our original blind could have been repaired, which we would have preferred given the pattern is no longer available, so we now do not have a matching set in the room.

Also, it is a waste if we've had to throw the existing blind away, if it could have been repaired.

A 40 day delivery!!

Having ordered the replacement seals at the end of January they finally arrived 40 days later and not within the 20 days originally quoted which was disappointing.

Hi Peter, we're really sorry about this experience with us. This was delivered in 27 working days which is unfortunately over the 20 days we advise, this is down to all parts being manufactured to order.

We are extremely sorry for the delay and tried to keep you updated regularly but we understand the frustration around this. Apologies again and hopefully when you order from us we can rectify this for you.

RW4Y has eneacted the order so far…

RW4Y has eneacted the order so far perfectly. The only comment one can make is that the transport company did not as they had said phone or text with a time slot unlike every other transport company whom can give you a 1 or 2 hour window. Luckily we were available at time it arrived.

Hi, thank you for the great feedback. In regards to the delivery company not alerting you, this definitely does seem strange as they should contact you before. I will flag this with them.
