From start to finish the communication was excellent, nothing was too much trouble, and even the surveyor took his time, listened and then confirmed to us the changes that we asked for. When the windo... See more

We called to the showroom for advice on a problem we had with a door on our holiday home.
Unfortunately they do not repair Timber doors, but the lady in the showroom Rachel I think couldn't have been more helpful, lots of advice, but didn't try to sell us anything, so when we need new windows or doors, we know we'll return for sure..... lovely showroom too.

Great experience, Great Team

Spent a few hours at the showroom in Kendal, what a great experience.
Warm welcome from Rachel, and both Andy and Rob were extremely helpful and knowledgeable, genuinely felt the team there couldnt do enough to help.
I wouldnt hesitate to use them.

Bad attitude, bad service. Requested a quotation a man turned up…

Requested a quotation a man turned up stood outside in line with covid rules. Asked what I wanted, I said did he have a brochure- apparently no he didn't have a brochure, I tried to find their brochure on my phone. He said no you won't find it in there go & Google this ! He gave me a name of another company! Verbally said a price without seeing the type of door I wanted & said he would send me a quote. Guess what nothing at all - no surprise. I waited over 2 weeks for this appalling service. Unprofessional & total uninterest. Your loss Planet found a company Plas-Tec that know how to operate
