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

Hi Robert, we're sorry you didn't have a good experience with the delivery company we use.

We have spoken to them about this issue, and they confirmed it was booked two days prior to the delivery date. However, it is an all-day service, unfortunately, unless you pay for AM or PM slot.

All deliveries are also kerbside only and at the driver’s discretion if they want to take it any further. We hope that clears that up for you and hasn't caused you too much further trouble.

Very helpful and efficient

The company were incredibly helpful and quickly supplied the handrail we ordered for our loft ladder, complete with easy-to-follow instructions.

Friendly, prompt responses to emails and great service. The kind of company it's a pleasure to do business with. Would happily recommend.

Great loft ladder

I got my loft ladder at a sale price and it is so much better than any other ladder available at that price.
Fantastic quality loft ladder.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service. I spoke with Jessica and I had a few questions that she answered in a concise manner. I found that she had a great knowledge of the items I wished to purchase. The product is first class and I would have no hesitation in using this company in the future. Once again 10/10 to Jessica on customer service Order No.36235

The seals I required had to be made in Poland and sent to UK. However, I was sent messages informing me of progress and approximate delivery dates. This is important to customers who are having to wait.

Excellent product as always

Excellent product as always from Fakro.
The only disappointment was the premium they charge for the conservation feature ... a thin black strip of metal running vertically down the centre of the window. I wouldn't dream of paying the premium for a feature I don't want but which my council requires.

Hi Roger, thank you for leaving us a great review. This is due to a different production process for conservation windows. We understand it is not a need for you but for the council so we are working on trying to lower the price differences.

We were impressed with the product

We were impressed with the product . We only dropped a star as the material was packaged on a pallet they were wanting to charge us extra money for . Thankfully our supplier sorted this for us .

A couple of tricky moments but well worth the effort

I liked the ordering process - just quote the number on the window frame and choose from the list of compatible-sized blinds, no measuring & estimating and hoping for the best. Not every blind fits your window size it seemed, which made the choice both harder and easier!
Delivery was faster than estimated, arrived after just a couple of days.
All the parts were in the boxes (I'd ordered two). Important to lay out all the bits as directed and carefully follow the instructions. The instructions were good but the lack of words (i.e. just diagrams) made a couple of critical stages quite tricky to work out - actually much easier than the diagram was trying to show - and a bit of careful thought enabled it to fit together well, and the second blind was therefore more straightforward & quicker to do based on the experience with the first one.
The end result looks really good and they operate smoothly (manual versions). Recommended.

Hi Mick, thank you for the great and detailed review. We're glad your blinds are up and working correctly!

The website was good but a little…..and the blinds were the same.

The website was good but a little frustrating when moving backwards and forwards between items. I eventually phoned and asked about my product and was told contradictory information to the web site on whether or not the swatch book included venetian blind samples. The web site says no, the company says yes. In the end I didn't buy the samples and decided to make a choice. The colour chosen was grey based on it not looking too grey. In reality the colour actually is closure to beige than grey and was exactly what I was looking for but this uncertainty was not good. ordering was simple and the plate on the window gave me the exact size of what i wanted.

The fitting for me was very fiddly and I couldn't help thinking that a little more thought in design would make it so much easier to post fit a set of venetian blinds. Lots of little screws and I personally hat having to drill into my new window frames to fit something like this. It would be far better to have the thing arrive as a made unit that just simple clicks into place. Instead there are lots of elements and various sizes of screws.

Once fitted the blinds look good but don't fully close as shown on the web site so the bottom 6 inches is loose. This being said they do the job we wanted so we didn't complain but there is no way of tightening the blind so that all leaves close tight.

Hi John, thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. Thanks to your comments we will be making changes to the website and how we advertise our blind colours and swatch book.
In regards to the fitting of your blind, I have just sent you an email as the blind should fit close to the window, not be loose, so we should be able to resolve this issue for you. Thank you.

Excellent service

Excellent service. I ordered two fakro skylights, at a very good price. I got a call from the delivery company to arrange a convenient time and the items arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. I am very pleased with the skylights and they look fantastic in our new kitchen extension.

Great blinds

I messaged the company to ask if a certain blind would fit my window. When that was confirmed, I ordered the blind. Setting it up was easy and it was amazing fit. I highly recommend them.
