Totally transformed a dark shower room into a bright and inviting room, no need now to use electric lights during the day. Installation team very pleasant and informative, social distancing maintained throughout.

If I could give 10 stars, I would!

Approached the company when I was looking to have a solar spot installed. No hassle or hard sell, just honest and transparent information, together with a no fuss straight forward quote process. All very fast and efficient, from initial quote to install inside 3 weeks. Just brilliant. The product is super effective and delivers exactly what it says. Highly recommended, the company deserves every single star. Thanks for a great value, efficient install.

Poor Customer Service

I placed an order for supply & install of a Solarspot light tube and paid for it in full. Goods arrived then with less than 24hrs notice the installer emailed (not called!) to cancel the install. After raising a concern direct to Chris at Solarspot & to rearrange installation for the following week, Solarspot chose to cancel the entire installation & sale against my preference. Very poor customer service. Very disappointed in Solarspot, - wasted loads of my time. Based on this I would avoid.

Dear Graham
I think we need to clarify the chain of events; yes, the installer cancelled the installation (due to illness) by email and we agreed with you that he should have called instead. I did speak to him on the day and they will now call people if they ever need to do this in the future. We also apologised profusely for this both on the phone and in writing the same day.
As you say, the installation was rescheduled but you then wrote back to us demanding a 'guarantee' that the fitting would happen on that day and threatened to cancel the job if for any reason it wasn't done - a guarantee that was impossible to give (for multiple reasons, in particular the weather - which turned out to be appalling on that day).
We felt that by this point, as did the installer, that this was wholly unreasonable and that you were unlikely to be satisfied with anything we did, so made the difficult decision to cut our losses and refund your payment.
As I said at the time, we did this with heavy hearts as we pride ourselves on delivering a 5-star service, but it was clear that the relationship had soured and it would be best for both parties to go our separate ways.
Yours is the only 1-star rating out of hundreds of 5-star reviews commending our customer service and product, so we're confident that readers will be able to come to their own conclusions as to the way we deal with the vast majority of our customers.
Regards
Chris

Honest company, quality product

Quality product and accessories. Even down to heavy duty foil tape. Very effective light source for our previously dull bathroom.
Most importantly for me, Chris at Solarspot had every opportunity to sell me more product than I needed (I thought the bubble would need to be on the south facing side of my roof - it didn't) but took the time to explain why my assumption was wrong and pinpoint exactly what I needed. This saved me a fair bit of money. Helpful all the way. Nice to deal with a company who treat customers honestly. It doesn't happen often!

Sun Tunnel installation

Very friendly & helpful people. Parts arrived on time through courier. Fitters were very friendly, clean & tidy and made no mess of any description & removed packaging outside. Sun Tunnel is amazing and I can’t believe how much light it lets in, it’s almost blinding! Worth every penny spent. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone thinking about having on installed. Many thanks, Stuart.

Excellent

I can’t recommend Solar Spot highly enough. Not only the product but the excellent advice I received from Chris and the great fitter Andrew. I knew the daylight system would make a difference to our dark kitchen but I wasn’t expecting such a transformation. We were so impressed that we arranged for two more to be fitted in our hall.

Amazing transformation to our dark hallway, keep going to turn the light off! Can fully recommend Solarspot Daylight Systems so very helpful from start to finish. The fitter was friendly and conscientious and fitted our lightwell in just a few hours. He cleaned up and left as good as new. Would recommend highly and use this company again. *****

Good customer service

I spoke to Chris, he knew exactly what I was try to explain, priced it up quickly for a bespoke set up.
Once I had paid, delivery was arranged within a few days.
Fitting was straight forward although always a worry when you are removing tiles and cutting holes in the roof!
Pleased with the amount of extra light it now provides.

Quick, Easy and Effective

The whole purchase and installation process was very quick and easy. Chris at Solarspot offered very helpful advice and kept me well informed over the delivery. The installation was done in half a day. We are very pleased with the result which has lightened up a dark landing. Only trouble is that we can now see that the room needs redecorating!
