Great work!

I can’t really understand why this company doesn’t have higher reviews on Google, from our experience they definitely aren’t reflective of what we purchased.

The sales guy Steve was very good, and 100 times better than a couple of other companies who had quoted for the work, likewise the surveyor who was also good.

We’ll save the best comments for the installation guy Scott who was amazing, he fitted 7 windows alone (two of them being almost 3m x 2m) as well as a new front door. Not only was his work fantastic but he’s a genuinely nice guy who we can’t recommend highly enough. We’re very happy with the finished product and will request Scott again when we need further work completed next year.

One slight disappointment was the original installation date wasn’t kept BUT I don’t feel that is enough to knock off a whole star.

That aside, great product great price and more importantly three great people who came to our home.

Surprised but disappointed

Firstly I’d like to say I was pleasantly surprised by the service we have received from smiths glass.
We took a gamble with this company based on the reviews we found and in all honesty the reviews nearly made us cancel our installation.
We had an install date set for 10 November 22. Scott our fitter turned up and was excellent, clean, tidy and efficient in what he does.

Bad points on the day, the lock on the door that we requested (ultion) wasn’t what we received and our chrome letterbox was scratched.
I contacted Chris the installations manager, he done all he can to sort our problem, an engineer returned the following week, unfortunately the lock wasn’t correct again and the replacement letterbox was damaged again.
This was frustrating to say the least but Chris contacted me straight away and offered to resolve the problem as soon as he could get new parts from the suppliers.
Fast forward to the 8th of March 23 our problem was finally resolved, Lawrence the engineer come and installed our new lock and letterbox.

The communication from smiths while this was ongoing was good and Chris informed me that the long wait for parts was supplier issues and no fault of their own.

Overall I can’t complain on the service we have received.
One thing to remember is that all the negative reviews have two sides to their story.
Thanks again to all at smiths for a seamless install even though it took a long time.

Update 04/09/23
No Fensa certificate has been issued, I was promised it would be sent after the final balance was settled, all I get is I’ll pass that on to our accountant when I enquire.
So if this does get read, please get in contact.

Good Evening Mr Webb, We have just been notified that you have changed your previously good review to an average review and can see that your comments update on 4/9 are regarding a FENSA certificate.

FENSA send the certificates out directly to customers and this is not something that we are responsible for and cannot be held liable for them if they have not sent it or the postal service not delivering it.
However, we have checked our FENSA system and can see that your works were registered and a certificate was issued on 31/03/2023 with certificate number 15700697.
I will reach out to FENSA on your behalf and try to obtain a copy of the certificate for you (FENSA normally charge for this) however it is our accounts department who carry out the registrations of works once balances have been paid in full which is why you may have been directed to speak with them but they are only available Tues-Thurs.
I hope this has dealt with your query.
Many Thanks

24/2/24 Good Afternoon - Please can you confirm that you have received your FENSA certificate, we have had no notice from you to say you have still not received it so assume you have but your review is still showing as 3 stars.

Great and service

Mick and Carl were very professional installers. Smiths were easy to deal, and Steve surveyed very well beforehand. All in all a good experience and i am very happy with the result

Very pleased with my new doors…

Was given all the necessary information before arranging to have the job done.. I thought was so good I easily decided to get my front and back doors replaced.. The jobs were carried out very profesionally and fitted and finished to a high standard and I will have no problem recommending them in the future..

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and we are glad you are satisfied with the finished product.
I understand from your file that there was a small hiccup with the locking barrel being supplied incorrectly from the manufacturer and I again apologise for this but am glad to see this was rectified very quickly for you.

Thank you again for your review.

This was the second door I had fitted

This was the second door I had fitted. I was just as pleased with the back door as I was with the front.
Staff were helpful and gave good advice. The door was fitted by the same man who fitted the first one.
He was punctual and left everywhere clean and tidy.

Had a good experience with this company. One of the window pains cracked a week later, phoned the company and had it replaced a week later. Scott the window fitter was excellent he got on with his job and we would recommend the company to other people

Good Morning

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review however I am a little confused as to the content.
We spoke recently when we conducted our own aftersales survey and this issue was not raised and we have no record of having the wrong lock installed or this would have been corrected immediately. I have checked your order, survey, manufacture notes and installation notes and again this issue has not been raised and I've checked our call logs and emails and we have received no notice of this that I can find.
During our customer survey we ask if you are satisfied with all the works done and on a scale of 1-10 how you would score us overall and you scored us 9/10 with nothing noted about needing any remedials.
I will certainly address this directly with our installations manager on Monday however we would ask that once we have carried any remedials out for you that you revise your review to reflect the whole experience and your comments to us.
Without being informed that there is a problem we are unable to rectify it and by going online to leave a negative review without addressing it with us is a little unfair.
If you would like to discuss the matter further please do not hesitate to give me a call on 01268 530485 and I will certainly deal with things for you.

Many Thanks

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY ** DIABOLICAL**

Once again leaving a review for this diabolical company - despite being informed & requesting for my details to be removed from their call list I am still routinely still getting phone calls from them - last one was this week - 1 year after I left the previous review. I will never give them the opportunity to quote again as they simply cannot be trusted and will waste your time if you try. My last review has just been flagged as for the wrong company - it is not - it is definitely you who simply will not leave me alone Would love the CEO to get in touch to explain their selling practices.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, I can see from your contract number these works were done for you in 2016 so the fact you have left us a review still satisfied so long after initial installation is great.
