Avoid
Review for Tswr.pro and traditionalsashwindowrestorations.com: Avoid this company. I had a horrible experience. Quick rundown: after paying the deposit, they agreed fitting would take 3-4 months. Close to fitting, they told me they had lost the measurements, and my windows and doors hadn’t been made. After a lot of last-minute cancellations throughout the year, they eventually fitted a year after the deposit was paid (this was a very long and stressful experience, where I was looking into taking legal action). The quality of the doors and windows made in the workshop isn’t great, but it’s the fitting that was more problematic; a week after they were fitted, the doors expanded so much that I couldn’t open them, and all the sealant they used had washed away from both windows and doors, despite it being completely dry for days afterwards. I suspect it’s because Andrew (the fitter) immediately painted the sealant after applying. They had not fitted like-for-like on the doors, and did not add a threshold or weather bar to deflect the rain, so the doors just sat in rainwater which was running down the frame & collecting at the bottom. Several screws had snapped off in the hinges – the fitter had then replaced with ¾ inch screws sunk in at an angle to avoid the snapped screws (amazing they held considering the weight of the doors). A few other screws were completely burred over, which I had to remove & replace. The chiselling around the hinges is the worst I’ve seen, and the doors are bowed, so I had to fit handles top and bottom to pull them in to lock shut. I tried tens of times to get them to fix their mistakes, with no luck. After 6 months of them giving me dates, then cancelling on the day (and only when I called to ask where they were), I gave up. I fixed the issue myself, at my own cost. Andrew the fitter seems like a nice enough guy, but he is not a skilled joiner and his organisation and communication is awful – he and Dave (the ‘owner’) both ignore messages and calls and the business seems to be all over the place. Avoid at all costs, go with a reputable company with a good history & decent reviews (this company seems to change its extremely generic name frequently – take a look at Dave Pridding on Companies House. Extremely difficult to find reviews).
