Our property is a barn conversion that is several hundred years old, so finding a style of window that was in keeping was not straight forward. However despite this Tony and his team were patient and offered a number of suitable options. His final recommendation was spot on and we couldn't be happier. Darren and Aiden carried out the installation, they were both polite and extremely clean and tidy. Nothing was ever to much trouble for Emma in the office, who I had cause to speak to a couple of time. I would have no hesitation in recommending Clarkes Windows to anyone and will in fact be arranging for them to return to complete the next phase of our work. A big thanks to all!

Clarkes Windows installed a set of sliding doors into an existing stone wall, at first floor level. The job involved knocking out existing windows and masonry, carefully re-building part of the outside wall in stone, creating an opening that would take the sliding doors, supplying and fitting the doors, then making good, including plastering and laying down a bespoke wooden threshold. In other words, a fairly complex building project involving a range of specialised trades. All the work was done to a very high standard, on time and within the agreed price. When a structural problem arose that could not have been foreseen before the project started, Clarkes Windows immediately called in a structural engineer at reasonable cost to propose a work-around that met both their requirements and our concerns. As the clients, we were briefed on every stage of the work and, when decisions were required, given clear options. All the installers were friendly and helpful. They were also very tidy. We could not have been better served. This is a family firm that clearly cares about its reputation and its customers.

From requesting a quote to the completion of the work I could not fault Tony and his team. I had 9 windows replaced with flush sash type with cladding to a gable on a dormer. The whole process took under 9 weeks from the initial phone call and with Christmas involved I could not have asked for a better service. The team who fitted the windows were excellent, turned up as arranged and completed the work in 3 days. They were polite, good at their job, happy and a pleasure to have around. They put dust sheets down and hoovered everywhere they had been, swept the drive and even picked the bits out the flower bed! The windows look so good and I could not be happier and wish I had replaced them sooner. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

From estimating to fitting Clarkes Windows Ltd. could not have been more obliging and reassuring. No fuss, no hassle, just excellent top quality windows and doors fitted efficiently by a friendly team of expert fitters. Having strangers in your home can be a worry but we really enjoyed their company while our living conditions were transformed in just three unintrusive days. Always polite, thoughtful, and grateful for cups of tea with biscuits, they just got on with what seemed to us would be a massive undertaking. After care looks promising as a lovely bunch of flowers arrived the day after they left! It only goes to show that you should always ask around to find those who really know what thy are doing. We are very pleased that we did this and can truly recommend Clarkes Windows as a First Class Trader that can definitely be Trusted!

For years we tolerated a rotting, hideous roof light on our porch and one day, driving past Clarkes Windows showroom, I stopped on an impulse. It was the best thing I ever did. Tony Clarke came round to quote within a couple of days and within two weeks his very polite and efficient team arrived, removing offending structure, leaving in the evening not a paint fleck, or splinter to show they’d been. The job was completed in three days, doubling the light into my dining room which was fabulous. We highly recommend this company for their well organised, friendly, reliable, exceptionally tidy and quality workmanship. Joanna, Dorchester

We recently had all our wooden windows, doors and conservatory replaced by Clarke’s In Dorchester. What a great job! The house is transformed and looks updated and fabulous. Our leaking conservatory is now modern and warm. Tony and the team are professional and make sure they deliver a quality product and service and are always on hand to advise you. Dale and Ashton were the fitters on site and could not do more to ensure I was a happy customer. I would highly recommend Clarke’s to anyone who is considering new windows or doors. An exemplary local business too which makes a difference. Thank you to the whole team at Clarke’s - great work!

Had new upvc porch, fascia, soffit and guttering fitted. Obtained a number of quotes of which Clarkes were the cheapest. Tony & Chris took the time to advise on what would look best and were extremely helpful throughout the entire process. The work was completed by Lewis who must receive special mention. He was extremely hardworking and a credit to the company. Very pleased with the result and will have no hesitation in using Clarkes again for any future work.

Clarke’s Windows changed our front door glass from frosted to clear to allow us to fit artistic glass behind them. This was a small job that they fitted in and delivered a lot faster than originally thought. They mentioned that the door was tight and they re-aligned it and told us how to fix it for no extra charge. Just superb.

We have just had all our windows replaced with a quality product by Clarkes and are delighted with the result. It's like having a new house. Tony and all his team were prompt, friendly, hardworking and keen to get everything just right. They cleaned up every day and kept us informed about the next day's work. After sales enquiries have been dealt with promptly and efficiently. We would highly recommend Clarkes to anyone.

Thanks to Tony and the team they did a brilliant job on our organery and composite decking from the design to the finish job. They kept us informed at every stage and also helped out with slight detail changes which we hadn't thought off. They came back after payment to do some snagging quickly .I have already recommended Clarkes Windows to a friend which has also gone ahead with them. Thanks again to Tony,Chris,and the team.

Tony and his team fitted aluminium bifold doors and reproduction aluminium crittall style windows to our 1930s house. We were very particular about what we wanted and Tony was extremely patient with us, involving us in the process, keeping us informed, and achieving exactly the look we wanted. The customer service we received was first class from start to finish from Tony and all of his team. Dale and Jamie and the other fitters were also extremely competent, friendly, tidy and genuinely nice guys who clearly take pride in their work. The whole team went the extra mile to ensure the job went smoothly and looks fantastic. This included for example, re-skimming the whole wall where the bifold doors were fitted, to give a very high quality finish, where many others would have just patched in as it would have been easier. Our front bay is very exposed and had rotted in places and Tony provided solutions and coordinated work to remedy this at the same time as the window installation. Any inevitable minor snagging issues have been dealt with promptly and I have total faith that any aftercare that may be needed will be of an equally high standard. In addition, considering the quality of the work and levels of service, the price we paid has proved to be good value. I would thoroughly recommend Clarkes to anyone in need of new windows/doors/conservatory etc and I hope to use them again in the future for the rest of the house. A big thanks to Tony and all for a first class job!

Our experience with this local, family owned business could not have been better. The team used their experience and professional expertise to help us to make a decision which we are really happy with and they were completely focused on finding the door and windows that were right for us. They were a pleasure to work with and delivery was well within the timescale given. The fitting team were cheerful, hardworking and professional - they did an excellent job and left everything wonderfully clean and tidy. We were delighted with the whole process from start to finish and all for a very reasonable price - couldn't be better! We would definitely use them again and have no hesitation in recommending them.

Very happy that we decided to employ Clarkes to install our windows, roof-line and conservatory. The price we were quoted was very competitive and the product is first class. We were given some excellent advice during the building of our conservatory that meant that we ended up with the perfect solution (grey frames and smoked glass). It looks awesome. The workmen they use are without exception excellent, on time, courteous and have great attention to detail. We wouldn't hestitate to recommend Clarkes Windows. Plus no pressure sales tactics and badgering that we had (and still have 6 months on) from some of the nationals. Top local company.

I went in today to enquire about possible solutions for opening my back door with severely arthritic hands. They were so helpful, practical and intelligent (and kind) about the issue and were prepared to save me a considerable amount of money (which I would have paid if they told me it was necessary) through their excellent advice. Having worked with people with disabilities for many years, I know how rare it is for firms to have such insight and integrity. I will definitely go back to them in the future if I need more help.

From initial quote visit, Clarkes were professional and respectful, as well as informative as we are new to the area. They have kept us informed at every stage and even sent a lock specialist at no extra cost to us, to source and fit materials for doors and windows not being replaced. Work team of three over three days worked very hard, cleaned up well after themselves, were friendly. The finished results are fantastic.
