As per the Company’s conditions of sale, this guarantee does not apply to minor imperfections in glass or prevention or elimination of condensation (subject to the discretion of glass manufacture and glass and glazing federation quality of vision standards).  Any glass unit fitted into any pre-existing frame has a 12-month guarantee.

Testimonials

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

Three first floor windows across the front of our detached house

"The three windows were fitted to replace old, blown units. Mark (the fitter) was efficient, polite and skilled. The quality of the units and the workmanship was excellent and Mark cleaned up any mess he made, both inside and out. I was told by the surveyor that the old units would be recycled which is really good in the present climate. Recycle, Reuse, repurpose. There have been no issues since fitting but there is a comprehensive guarantee included, so we have peace of mind for years to come. Well done Global Windows, which I will also add are a local company!"

- Checkatrade Review, May 2022

Thank you for excellent service

"Thank you for excellent service. Professional throughout. We are delighted with our new door. Alan was great with the design stage and the fitters were brilliant!"

- Trustpilot Review, April 2022

New patio door.

"Global replaced our old sliding patio doors. The result is a warmer room and an easily opening door. I was grateful that I was able to choose a date which was not changed. Everyone in the process was kind and helpful. It only took a couple of hours and my neighbours who oversaw the job for me said the workmen were efficient and everything was left clean and tidy. Very pleased with the result."

- Trustpilot Review, April 2022

"Nine new windows fitted efficiently on the day stated. Fitters were polite & helpful."

- Trustpilot Review, April 2022

Composite door and side light’s

"This is the second time I have had installation work done on a property by Global. Both times very competitive quotes, outstanding customer service from all the team, and the product? Both times really pleased with everything I had done."

- Checkatrade Review, March 2022

Conservatory Roof Replacement

"From first to last this company is excellent. Fair price, work completed to a high standard and great communication throughout. Daily visits from the Project Manager. Pleasant and professional team throughout. Respectful of property, our home was left clean and tidy at the end of each day. Having work of this sort done was a big investment for us, but we felt confident that they were looking after us throughout. We gladly recommend them to anyone considering a conservatory roof replacement. And now that the roof is done, the conservatory is much warmer and quieter."

- Checkatrade Review, April 2022

Putting a solid roof on our existing conservatory and plastering inside

"We have enjoyed our conservatory roof conversion since January. The workmanship was first class, both roof replacement and plastering. The management kept you informed every step of the way. The room now warms up quickly and has been enjoyed throughout the colder weather. We are so happy with the end result. A big thank you to all involved."
