I had an attempted break in resulting in two windows needed replacing. Crestshield came out to quote. They were very professional and also sensitive to what had happened. They prioritised the order of the windows and replacement of the windows. Excellent work.

We needed to replace 1980s windows in two of our bedrooms. I researched local companies quite thoroughly and got several quotes. We ended up choosing Crestshield and were not disappointed. The measuring visit, office organisation and fitting were all done with care and any queries we had were addressed swiftly. Billing was clear and there were no unexpected costs. All staff were very friendly and helpful, and the fitters also tidied up well. A good experience, and would definitely use Crestshield again.

I replaced my front door and bathroom window (not a small window). It was a lot of work as it's an old property. Ian made it look easy. All surfaces were covered. He took a lot care removing old window/door and replacing with new. He cleared away all the mess and even put up some tiles in the bathroom that had fallen off.

Crestshield Windows are absolutely fantastic. From the beginning when Peter discussed our project and provided the quotation, to Ben superbly replicating the leaded lights with stain glass shields in our bay windows through to the installation by Brad and Scott who were efficient, very tidy and ensured the finishes were to a high standard. Not forgetting the ladies in the office who were friendly, helpful and professional. Our sincere thanks go to everyone for a job well done. We have no qualms in giving Crestshield the highest recommendation.

Crestshield recently installed a new front door and new windows to 6 different rooms. We were very happy with the cost and schedule taken to do the works and the quality of the windows. The installation team Scott & Brad were helpful and minimised disruption to us whilst changing windows in multi rooms in the house. When we were concerned that the front door was sticking they revisited to adjust it.

Throughout the company was friendly and we kept chatting to arrange the best time to get the job done (Some scaffolding was delaying the works) but that was sorted and the guys who did the fitting rattled through it at a machine like pace meaning everything was completed in a few hours and the final result is great! Considering the windows hadn't been changed sine 1986! Yep, they definitely needed an upgrade and the fitters managed to keep my bathroom tiles intact as they were at risk of falling during the fitting, so great job all round.

I had a back door and front sash windows replaced. The work was carried out as scheduled and took two days. The back door lock needed adjusting and Ian responded immediately and came the next working day to fix it. I was always able to speak to someone when I had questions. The process from initial consultation in January and quote by Peter, then survey and installation by Ian in April was smooth, and everything was clearly communicated. The cost remained the same, so there were no surprises there. Highly recommended.

Crestshield Windows replaced our top window which had been poorly fitted and was leaking. They were very easy to communicate with, offered us a reasonable and fair quote and carried out the work to a very professional standard. We then had a bit of roofing work done which caused a gap between the window and the roof. I called them unsure of what to do. Despite being very busy they came that very same day to provide a solution to the gap. It hadn't been part of the job and they very kindly took the time to help and didn't charge extra. Highly recommended.

We had two windows put in, as they drilled and hammered at our windows, they broke our curtain rails and also the walls, they didn't make good. They forgot to silicone one side of the window. They used foam for one big crack after I'd complained - another workman said that that isn't a good material to use as it creates later problems, I also noticed that it never hardened. I had to replaster everything and silicone it myself. They left out a screw. The corners of the windows don't join up. The edge of the windowsill looks like bitten nails, it is an absolutely terrible finish. They were also very rude, defensive, they weren't going to tell us that we would have to replaster the whole room and they didn't wear masks despite repeated requests, in the middle of lockdown in the Covid-19 pandemic.

Unfortunately in this industry you just sometimes have difficult customers. I can’t really defend this job, but I shall In brief. The whole room before we started needed plastering and cracks everywhere (we took photos to cover our selves and showed the customer) after we had finished, of course the customer blames us for the cracks. The foam mentioned, was not foam it was caulk, of which you need to leave a day to set (customer says it’s wrong and should be dry immediately) the customer was rude to my fitters (even going mad at them for having a cigarette on the street pavement, but she could see them from her house). To be fair, the finish wasn’t to our normal quality, but the fitters just wanted to leave this hostile environment and rude customer. I myself have spoken to the customer to make sure she is happy now and to rectify any thing she is unhappy with. The customer said she was ok with everything and appreciated the call and then paid me in full. I have heard no more about this job until the very rude and unfair review. I am of course more than willing to go back if she isn’t happy and rectify what seems to be wrong. But I do believe, some people are just not happy people. As for wearing masks in this covid time, my fitters are fully up to speed with all PPE requirements and understand the importance. I’m sure they where wearing their masks, but I shall indeed be looking into this to make sure they are worn at all times as normal. Thank you. Ben

I am very happy with the work done by Crestshield Windows. The windows look fantastic and have made a huge difference to my flat already. Before they were installed I had the heating on all day and now I only need to turn it on for small amounts as the room holds the heat. The two guys who fitted my windows arrived at 8 am and were finished by 1 pm. Very efficient job and they knew what they were doing. Conducted themselves very professionally throughout.

We wanted all the windows in our house replaced with UPVC sash windows and having seen the excellent reviews on Which? decided to go with Crestshield. We met with Ben who made a good initial first impression and the quote seemed very reasonable. We were initially very pleased with the windows but soon realised that there was a draft coming through under the windowsill, a lot of the sealant around the windows looked messy and our kitchen floor was damaged. The fitter came back a few days later and fixed the draft and we were compensated for the damage to the kitchen floor. We were still not entirely happy with the finish around some of the windows but didn't get around to saying anything. However two years on and one of the windows, after being opened to clean it, wouldn't shut again very easily. Something had broken on the hinge/spring and the window then wouldn't slide up and stay up. The windows came with a 10 year warranty so we rang Crestshield at the beginning of October 2020. After chasing them several times and after at least a month, someone was eventually sent out to fix it (who arrived later than arranged) but when they arrived they didn't have the part so said they would ring the office to sort out getting it and get back to us to arrange getting it fixed. It is now nearly January 2021 and we haven't heard anything from them and still have a broken window. I appreciate the pandemic had caused some delays but a quick phone call to keep us updated takes a few minutes!

Hello, I am very sorry you are disappointed. I can see when you first had your windows fitted that you were very (happy minus the sealant issue on one window and a slight damaged floor, of which as you stated you were compensated for the floor and and the window was resealed). Two years on you have reported an issue with a window. We have responded to this matter and sent my engineer round asap. I had to send an engineer out to your property to obtain what the issue is (sorry you were expecting this to be fixed the same day, some issues can be resolved there and then, but this issue requires a part), we informed you that we need to order your part and will be in contact as soon as i get it (the part was ordered the very next morning). As you are aware, due to this horrible time of covid-19, a lot of parts are very difficult to get hold of and delivery times are next to horrendous. We've still have not received your part yet as i have informed you. As soon as i get it in stock, rest assured i will make contact and come straight round to fit it. I do appreciate that i could of kept you in the loop a bit more with where we are on the whole delay process. I have called you a few times to try and keep you up to date, but was unable to get through. I have chased the company again and they have promised me i will get the part in January and i will immediately call you and get you booked in. Thank you and sorry again on this delay.

Crestfield windows fitted new windows to the front and rear of our house. The team arrived on the Monday morning and if they had rushed the job or not been as neat and careful, could have had it all finished on the Thursday, but they took extra care and effort and completed it on the Friday, making sure we were happy with everything, before they left. Nothing was to much trouble and the price we were given, was the price that we paid. The windows look excellent and we are very pleased with them and again, we got exactly what we asked for. Would I recommend them to a friend? Without a doubt or hesitation.

We had a window installed in our 3 year olds bedroom. The window was fitted within an afternoon. The fitters were professional and tidy. However after they had left I noticed they had forgotten to fit the window restricter to prevent the bottom window from opening too wide. This was essential to prevent my son falling 20 ft onto a concrete patio! They said they would come back to fit it but after several calls over 3 months they failed to come. I called again just before lockdown was instituted and they said someone would pop around to fit it. I am still waiting...

Bradley and his trainee Drew arrived each morning on time, smartly dressed in logo sweatshirts, providing a good image for the company they work for, Crestshield Windows. They fitted 6 windows and a front door, efficiently, neatly and were courteous and respectful the whole time. I am delighted with their workmanship and would wholeheartedly recommend them. The salesman Peter was professional at all times without being pushy and delivered the job he promised. This experienced far outweighed my previous experience with a bigger corporate window company and was much better value for money.

Have nothing but positives to say about Crestshield. Yes their quote was a touch (and only a touch) higher than others, but you pay for what you get. Windows delivered to my specifications with no hidden costs, quotes and installations happened when they were supposed to, near 24x7 comms from the owner to reassure and answer questions as they arise and all done within a very quick time frame. Don't be fooled by companies that say long lead times equals quality - Crestshield absolutely meet high standards in every regard without a 6 week wait. I have one issue with a window which has been well addressed and am now waiting in the manufacturer to resolve - all done with no quibble, fuss, or impact to me. Simply put, Crestshield have done everything I could hope for to make the otherwise expensive and rather dull experience of replacing windows a pleasure. I thoroughly recommend them!!

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Crestshield Windows and I am glad that a neighbour recommended them. When considering purchasing a product such as double glazing it opens a minefield of unknowns, but I had no need to worry because from day one; from having the first visit from Peter, my mind was put at rest and I am grateful to him for sharing his knowledge and expertise. There was no pressure what so ever and I was encouraged and given thinking time to research the products i.e.: windows/ locks and manufacturer. Peter even suggested design changes which did not effect the cost but has enhanced the appearance of the property. A survey was conducted by the fitter Ian in a timely and professional manner. During fitting, Ian was helped by Tait. Both were polite, friendly, professional and worked well as a team. The double glazed “linear” A+ windows look amazing. Although some minor damage was caused to render on removing original windows, Ian assured me that he would make good - well all I can say is that he was true to his word and once the render was replaced around the windows and allowed to dry, you can barely see a difference it blends in so well. The finishing of the windows is superb. Throughout fitting both Peter and Ben ensured things were going smoothly and kindly accommodated my diary. Crestshield Windows clearly care about their reputation and customers, which is evident by virtue of the fact they have been trading for the last 17 years. Thank you.

Our whole experience with Crestshield has been a pleasure from the quotation to the installation of our replacement door. The engineers arrive at the arranged time and were quiet and professional throughout, they removed the existing door and frame without damaging the external pebble dashing or the internal plaster work. Apart from the fact that the door is far superior to the original you wouldn’t know it had been replaced. All rubbish was cleared and the site left clean and tidy. The whole team, in the office and onsite, were friendly and answer queries promptly. Over thirty years ago Crestshield replace all the widows in our precious property, they took the same care and attention to detail then, and the windows still look good today.

Double glazing installation

We decided to replace the windows in two large bays with double glazing, as well as one in a small bedroom. Ben was excellent in listening to our design requirements and has provided us with exactly what we had hoped for. The fitter Ian was unfailingly courteous throughout and did his best to cause the minimum of disruption while he was working. On completion of the installation he took great pains make good any evidence of the work as far as damage to the building fabric and decorations were concerned. My faith in the previous good reviews on this site was amply justified.

Ben made sure I got exactly what I wanted for my windows and front door, he took time to talk me through designs etc and I really felt he understood what i wanted; it was nice not to be 'sold' to! Whilst not the cheapest (I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for), Ben certainly did a great job, I had total faith in him and his fitters and was not disappointed!

We moved into our house in October 2017 and the windows were in urgent need of exchange. We did contact one of the big window companies and got rather fed up with the hard sale. Ben came round from Crest Shield windows and gave us a straight price. Brad then came in and fitted our windows even managing to solve the problem of the front bedroom bay trying to fall down without very little fuss. Ben came round after the work was completed to make sure we was happy and I ended up ordering another two windows, which really finished the job off perfectly. I probably could have undercut the price with one of the big companies and saved a few pounds but I don't think I would have received the same service. We do have a large patio window at the back, which will eventually need replacing and I will go back to Crest Shield when I am ready to do that.

Our house is double fronted Victorian house which needed windows replacement. We wanted to keep the character of the house by replacing the sash windows with Upvc and keeping the character of the house was paramount. I carried out market research and had about 20 Quotes because the job was huge (40 Windows approximately plus doors.) We decided to give the job to Crestsheild because they offered us high quality product with a reasonable price and no pressure. Peter is very knowledgeable and honest man. The windows were delivered in time as promised. The fitters were very professional , courteous and clean. Peter came to the house twice a day to ensure that everything was going according to plan.A lot of our friends find it difficult to believe that the windows are upvc. I highly recommend Crestsheild to anyone who is looking for good quality windows with reasonable price and no hard selling. Adel Tawfik

Our old wooden casement windows in our upstairs flat were in a very bad way! I chose Crestshield because of all the excellent reviews here and because they are local to us. Ben came along and apart from being an extremely pleasant chap was absolutely straight with us, was clear and precise with what needed to be done with no gimmicks or sales patter and gave us a very fair and highly competitive price on the spot. A date was agreed for the work to be done and in the meantime his Dad Peter, also an extremely courteous and nice chap came along to measure up. The work was done as agreed over 3 days last week and we are extremely delighted with the results! The 2 fitters Danny and Reece could not have been more friendly, considerate, helpful and obliging and I have never seen 2 chaps work so hard! The quality of their work was superb - dustsheets were laid down before the work commenced and they cleaned and hoovered up at the end of each day. They also did extra work which was not stipulated at all for no extra charge ie cementing over some crumbling bricks in front of the windows, scraping off the outside window sills and even replacing the curtain rails. All the debris which had been placed in the front garden was removed on the last day and a good sweep up as well. Thank you Which for putting me in touch with this excellent company and to Ben, Peter, Danny and Reece for doing such a fantastic job! I have no hesitation at all in recommending this truly excellent company!

I used them to install a new bathroom window, a kitchen window and replace a bedroom window with a door (all double glazed, AA rated) so I could use the flat roof that it led onto. The latter involved knocking out some brickwork. The work was done to a high standard - the windows were made to the exact size required and fitted very neatly in place. Brickwork was repaired nicely and the the rooms were left clean and tidy. I have no hesitation in recommending this company and would use them again if I wanted more windows replaced.

Crestshield replaced all the windows and patio doors in our 3 bedroomed terraced house. We chose them because of the reviews on Which. We were not disappointed! Ben was a great salesman, no pushy sales techniques, just down to earth and good suggestions. The prices were reasonable too. We were very happy with Dan and Reece who came and fitted the windows and doors. Everyday they cleared up spotlessly behind them, you'd never know that they'd been! It took one week from start to finish with no hassle whatsoever. Its amazing how much difference just changing the windows and doors makes to our house. We definately recommend them.

We used Crestshield to fit six new windows and one glazed garden door. Their service was excellent from start to finish. The initial quotation was made with great professionalism, was direct and to the point with no unnecessary sales patter or phony discounting, and was at the very bottom end of the range I had already ascertained was reasonable. There was a one week cooling off period, after which I confirmed I wanted to proceed with the order, then three weeks for manufacture. After that fitting was very fast, professional and tidy: it took only two days (they had allowed three but the fitter was extremely skilled, the job went smoothly and he was willing to work a longer second day to save disruption to me). The windows have been in for a month now and we have absolutely no complaint - they fit well, look very smart and are extremely well-finished. Having heard some horror stories and been subjected to intrusive and agressive sales tactics in the past, I think I was very lucky to find this local company, and I wouldn't hesitate to reccommend them to anyone seeking good value and professional service in replacement windows and doors.

Martin and Alex (the fitters) arrived promptly and carried out the work efficiently meeting our requirements. We are very happy with the end result and have no hesitation in recommending them.

Crestfield Windows did an excellent job in replacing the upstairs windows and French doors in my three bedroomed house. The quote was competetive and, although not the cheapest, I liked Peter's straightforward approach to the job. The house has been let and I was concerned that the work would be very disrupting for the tenants. However Peter assured me that they would work closely with the tenants and replace the windows in the order that the tenants required. My concerns were completely unfounded and the installers worked closely with the tenants and left the house spotless at the end of every day. They even went as far as to re-render and pebble dash around the newly installed windows. They come with my highest recommendations.

All who have seen the new windows have commented on their quality and the high standard of workmanship, plus all was done within the timeframe quoted by Ben. I received a visit to check on things half way through the work and was called after completion to ensure all was well, I highly recommend Crestshield.

We had all of our windows & french doors replaced by Crestshield for our flat. This is a small family run firm and Ben came out and did our quote. He was very down to earth and friendly and there was never any sales pitch. The quote was reasonable and certainly the cheapest of 3 quotes I got. There was a small issue of communication with arranging the fitters to come out and do the final measurements before the order was put in. However, Ben chased this up immediately and this was rectified within 10 minutes. Ben has also rung to check that everything was OK with the windows since they were fitted which we appreciate. The fitters Kevin & Scott were excellent & really done to earth, cleaning up after themselves. Would definitely recommend Crestshield.

After having quotes from several large companies it was a relief to deal with a small family company such as Crestshield Windows and to get some individual attention. They replaced a number of blown double glazing windows, which was simple standard work, and then French windows and cracked roof panels in an extension, which required more planning and design. They carried out the work quickly on the planned days and I am pleased with the results. They have returned twice to deal with subsequent trivial problems without any quibbling. The prices compared satisfactorily with the other quotes I had.
