Absolutely Terrible. AVOID!!!!

Absolutely terrible. Ordered door and windows through Just Value Doors and the service from both has been shockingly bad. Zero communication. The door (actually arrived on 3rd delivery date, already 6 weeks late) was damaged and sent back. They kept it for a further 6 weeks and sent the same damaged door back out to me. Nothing had been done to it and the door was damaged due to the fact there is minimal packaging for shipping. I’m now left with doors and windows I don’t want but am held over a barrel as I need to finish a project. Just avoid, I will be taking further action on what is a shocking company to deal with (just read any of the recent reviews) who simply do not care. I bought these products to fit to an out building before placing a much larger order for the house, will be going elsewhere. Oh, and I can’t even fit the damn things as I am still waiting for larger cills to be delivered.... so let’s just wait for the copy and paste response of how there is a resin shortage..... thanks for that. It seems they only communicate after they have failed and negative reviews generated.

Failure

Ordered mine through Buildbase on 2nd August and given delivery date of 12th September and then on the11th they finally told me that they were waiting for a part and hadn't even made them yet, they gave me a new delivery date of 26th October. I emailed Buildbase on 4th, 11th and 20th October to check delivery was still good and was told yes, so here I was today (26th) waiting for the delivery, I rang Buildbase this morning and was told delivery is on. Buildbase chased Crystal and they backtracked and said they were waiting for the door profile meaning they haven't even made them AGAIN!!!!!! still waiting for a new delivery date. What makes me really livid is they couldn't be bothered or have the decency to let me know what the situation is, two days holiday wasted as well. Given up now gone for a refund now fed up with waiting

There is currently a national shortage of PVC resin, which is used by our suppliers to extrude the profiles and then in turn used by us to manufacture windows and doors.

This shortage is not systems company specific and has affected the entire PVC industry and all manufacturers such as ourselves. This is a very serious consequence of production facilities lock-down earlier in the year, due to the Covid pandemic, and In the same vein as many other commodity suppliers and shortages nationwide which has been well documented.

Its important to recognise that Crystal are a manufacturer and supplier, not a retailer and that your order is with Buildbase, so we are unable to comment on their communications to you. We continually advise our customers (such as Buildbase) of shortages and delivery delays due to the supply chain issues currently being experience as high lighted above.

We pride ourselves on delivering a quality bespoke product to thousands of customers across the UK every week, and so are very disappointed when we experience the constraints that are outside of our control..

Lies lies 🤥

I ordered two windows through Alsford timber. It took two weeks to get a delivery date out of them. I was told the lead time was three weeks even with the current situation but the delivery date given was over 5 weeks, I asked if something could be done about an early date and was given 4 weeks. When it came to the delivery date no show, they said it was a mix up with the address, I was given another date ( 6weeks from the point of order) I got confirmation that the windows were coming then next day I get told that they don't have the materials to make the windows. I cancelled the order and got the money back. Just full of lies, lies 🤥

Thanks for the reply, can I ask why I was given TWO confirmed delivery dates, which fell through and then to be told by Alsfords after six weeks that you haven't got any materials ???

Thank you for your feedback.

We would like to apologise for the problems that you have experienced with ordering our products through Alsford Timber.

In line with Government guidance our systems house were forced to suspend production for 8 weeks due to COVID-19. This is a crucial period of the year when essential stocks are built up for the forthcoming busy season of July - November. Once operations commenced they have experienced demand which is above their expectations and historic norms, this still has not settled and the acceleration of demand has seen stocks depleted even with their plant running at current maximum capacity. We would also like to emphasise that it is our understanding that this is the case across the whole industry. In addition they have also unfortunately been affected by the lack of raw materials due to an external power outage their supplier of PVC-U.

Both Crystal and our systems house have also added additional labour, expanded shifts and ordered additional equipment, but we are still experiencing significant disruption and delays, and will do for the next few weeks.

We are literally doing everything that we can, as fast as we can, in order to minimise any supply disruption, but on this occasion we were unable to fulfil your order due to no fault of our own.

All the information above has been communicated to all of our customers – including Alsford Timber - over recent weeks/months

Kind regards

I just got delivery of a new front door. The door is great, but more importantly, their team made the whole ordering process a delight. Even the driver was helpful, so that tells you a lot about the company culture. I'm sure if I have a problem in the future, they will deal with is just as readily and helpfully as they did with the rest of the process.

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service.
As a homeowner I don't have much need to contact Crystal, but part of our roof lantern snapped off and with lockdown, it's tricky to get out, so I emailed Crystal direct and within minutes they had replied and helped me to get it all sorted. Thanks so much!!

Thanks for the feedback, we changed ownership and our system some time ago so i assume the change in hardware was related to that.

Gave amended measurements we needed and was assured this had been changed. When product arrived the size amendments had not be accounted for!! causing us more work to adapt to the space we had.

Normally good service

Normally good service! However we have been waiting for over seven months for Crystal to send out a replacement window, causing us to loose the contract and end up with windows we can’t now place any where.
We have been dealing with Crystal for many many years and in the past they have been brilliant, not sure what’s gone wrong just lately.

Top quality bifold doors

We received our bifold doors for our new extension ordered through Crystal and are very happy with the product which feels a good quality and a well manufactured product. However, one of the windows had a fault with it. Upon contacting customer support, they quickly identified what was wrong and informed me it was a manufacturing fault. They immediately ordered me a new piece of glass and gave me a delivery date for the glass which was very quick.
Fantastic product and great service from customer support.

Been dealing with Crystal Clear for the last year on a housing development with 35+ plots, the full office staff are really helpful specially James & Suzanne who have been the main contacts with quick turn around on quotes/re-price and with new measurements.

Will use them again for our next housing development due to our client been very happy with service and quality.
