  1. This Guarantee does not cover any accidental damage, neglect, breakages, blockages, wear and tear, storm damage, and misuse of products.

Testimonials

Our customers' feedback is important to us. Read our latest customer testimonials below.

We have had 13 new windows and two sets of French Doors

"We are delighted with our new windows and French doors that have been supplied and fitted by Global. Andy and Shaun the fitters have been very professional throughout the process and have been so clean and tidy. From start to finish it has run so smoothly and each stage has been communicated well. Paul, Doug in sales have supported us through the whole process and helped us make some choices. They all work to the current Covid guidelines in these difficult times. Thanks to you all, would highly recommend them."

- Customer in Doncaster, February 2021

New Front Door

"We have used Global before and will use them again. Had a new door fitted and the whole experience was great. From ordering to fitting it was easy. All staff are helpful and friendly. The door was fitted on the day as promised and was done quickly to a high standard level. No mess to clean up too. Very pleased with our new door thank you."

- Customer in Sheffield - Checkatrade Review, March 2021

French doors and Composite door

"Went to Global on the recommendation of neighbours. A pleasure to deal with from start to finish. The salesman was pleasant and helpful (in difficult circumstances, as covid plus refurbishment meant we could not visit the showroom). No pushy sales tactics whatsoever. The fitters were very professional. Fast and efficient, and gave the distinct impression that they truly cared about doing a good job. The French doors were fitted with handles that we didn't care for aesthetically, but this proved to be no trouble whatsoever and were promptly changed. Will be using again for future installation."

- Customer in Sheffield - Checkatrade Review, March 2021

Windows, porch & door

"Excellent windows, very good standard of work during difficult weather, Very pleased. Just one window to exchange now, but kept advised on progress etc."

- Customer in Sheffield - Checkatrade Review, February 2021

All windows and doors replaced Verified Review

"Fantastic customer service and fitting from start to finish. Absolutely no problems from the initial sales to the fitting to post sale care. Have no issue with recommending, good communication with honesty every step of the way. Also, my doors and windows look fantastic. Exceeded my expectations"

- Customer in Sheffield - Checkatrade Review, March 2021

Replacement Kitchen window

"This is the second time we have used Global Windows and have been extremely pleased with both the product and the service. On both occasions, we were kept well informed from the point of the survey right through to the date of installation. Installation on both occasions was very efficient and completed to a very high standard by their experienced installation team. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be using them again."

- Customer in Sheffield - Checkatrade Review, March 2021

Professional organisation – a job well done through a difficult period

"We are very pleased with the end result - our beautiful new conservatory. This company was recommended to us by two of our neighbours and we are now also happy to recommend Global Windows. The building work was started in August but due to the pandemic there was a delay in erecting the conservatory. However once the materials arrived good progress was made to a high standard throughout."

- Customer in South Yorkshire Which? Review, 16th November 2020

All glass conservatory

"We used Global Windows after reading their customer rating on Which. The fact that their showroom/office was nearby was a bonus. We can’t praise the service and quality of the conservatory highly enough. The conservatory is quite bespoke. It required a box gutter. There was a small leak. The Global guys promptly sorted it and it’s been fine since. We’re absolutely delighted with our new conservatory."

- Customer in South Yorkshire Which? Review, 20th January 2021
