Steve is great, he was super relaxed and approachable and made the ordering process easy. We had to wait 4/5 months for our doors but they were worth it when they arrived. The communication in between order and fitting could have been better, just a few updates on lead time would have been appreciated. Once fitting came around, the team were fantastic, I can’t rate them higher. Great communication, great standard of work and very friendly.

From start to finish Steve and Mark have delivered a friendly, helpful service. Their advice at the design stage really helped us choose the right windows. The installation was on time and was completed without a problem. The product is great quality and they look fantastic, as many of our neighbours have told us. I would not hesitate in recommending Foulger & Childs to anyone.

I've been totally impressed by this company, from start to finish. Two initial visits pre-contract signing were detailed, informative, professional and an enjoyable interaction. The fitters were a joy to have around. A sunny, can-do attitude, with attention to detail, a fantastic work ethic and really clean and tidy. The results are brilliant and neighbours have commented not only on the windows themselves but on the way they saw the fitters work. Congratulations to them and thank you!

I have had the pleasure of Fougner & Childs replacing both my windows and front door during the past 12 months. I did a lot of research before hand and I found the product supplied by Foulger & Childs far superior than others. The initial planning was carried out by Steve and the order placed. It took several weeks for the work to be carried out but it was well worth the wait. The fitters were extremely efficient and had the job completed in no time at all, always checking if we approved the work they did. If you want a brilliant produced planned and implemented efficiently then check out Foulger & Childs

Foulger & Childs have recently fitted a patio door for us. We are very happy with the result. The Installers were very efficient and friendly. We have previously had our front door, most of our windows and soffits, facias and guttering replaced by them. All excellent. Foulger & Childs are a good company and although their waiting time is quite long - its worth the wait and evidence that people trust them to do a proper job.

I have just had two new bay windows and a back door fitted at a terraced house in Wolverton. Steve and Mark were extremely helpful and professional throughout the process. The quality of the product used is extremely high and they could easily be mistaken for traditional wooden sash windows. Which is why I chose this type of windows. In a conservation area it is important to use high quality materials in order to obtain planning permission. The fitters were very thorough and considerate and we are delighted with their work. I can honestly say that the house is now one of the best looking on the street. I would not hesitate to use this company again and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to improve their home.

From the quality of the products to the craftmanship of the fitters. I couldn't want more from a company replacing my windows. The product has a solid, aesthetically pleasing, high security, quality feel. The the fitters were always on time, polite, courteous and professional during the installation. Continually cleaning up as they went along In conclusion I definitely recommend them to anyone looking to replace their existing windows and doors. Definitely a 5 out of 5 company

Foulger & Childs were highly recommended by a friend who had used the company. We found both Steve and Mark to be very professional and very personable, Mark likes his coffee to be brewed just as we like our coffees. The manufacturer of the units delayed the installation because of COVID-19 but we were kept informed of the needed delays. The installation team worked speedily but carefully and left us with the appearance of our garage much improved. Thank you Steve and Mark and your installation team. We will be very happy to highly recommend Foulger & Childs.

I went with Foulger and Childs after having them recommended by friends and family, and was not disappointed! Steve and Mark both very friendly and approachable, and their work can't be faulted. Having the work carried out to this high standard now means my house looks much nicer as a result - top work!

Had 2 square bay windows (up and and down at front of property) and two flat upstairs windows replaced. Professional and reliable service from start to finish - including no hard sell! They turned up when they said they would, were polite, friendly, hard working and left no mess. Delighted with the results! Will definitely use this company again when we get round to doing the rest of the windows and would not hesitate to recommend them.

We had our old garden patio sliding doors replaced with new french doors which now look amazing. The team were professional and friendly from the initial quote to the installation. November was agreed as the installation time and they did exactly what was promised. Very tidy, leaving no mess and at our request returned at a later date to fit cabin hooks that were suitable for our bespoke frame. We were relatively new to the area and this company was recommended to us by several neighbours. I will certainly be recommending to family friends and colleagues.

We had cladding fitted by Foulger and Childs in September 2018. Joe and his team were extremely polite and friendly as well as being most professional in there attitude. It was a pleasure to have them around. I very much appreciated the courtesy they showed to both my husband and myself. My 'go to' company for any future work.

Have used Foulger and Childs before and would not consider any other Company. They are friendly and courteous, and extremely professional. Even though it was a busy time of year (it being almost Christmas) they went out of their way to ensure my Patio Door etc was fitted before the event. Thank you Foulger and Childs.

Disappointing

Paid my deposit in June 2016 and was told the work would be completed in September, which I was happy with. September came and went, so did October and finally, after 5 months of waiting for the work to be done and various phone calls from myself and my boyfriend chasing somebody to confirm a date, it was completed in half a day in November. Not quite sure why I had to wait 5 months and chase this company on a number of occasions just for half a day's work?? Following the completion of the work, I then received a confirmation document addressed to the wrong property, so it was invalid. Back it went to be amended, but to date I have not received the document with the correct property details, and have had to chase the office, speaking to a very patronising man who told me that he would ensure his 'little lady' would amend it. For a local company that has been trading for many years, I found them very disappointing and I would not recommend. Having said that, the guys who actually did the work at my property were excellent, very friendly and did a nice job.

We contacted this company because although we needed new windows we were very disenchanted with double glazing firms. Finding the ones that we had contacted previously rude and condescending or pushy. What a difference! They were a breath of fresh air from the initial meeting to completion. They were friendly, trustworthy and courteous. Very knowledgeable and their advice was spot on. They arrived with a smile and left the place spotless. I live in Bletchley so the distance was no problem for them. I now have, I believe, the best windows in town! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them 100%

I used Foulger & Childs for a new French door in my utility room after receiving an excellent quote. They managed to fit the door earlier than expected and I'm literally over the moon with the fitting, quality, service and everything else you could possible think of. Without a doubt I will be using Foulger & Childs again very soon for other works that will need doing on my property. A very friendly family run business that give you professional results! Very VERY happy! -Mr Panteli Dunstable

Caring after sales service & input/advice, & always available/helpful. When asked all major companies with regard to external beading, was assured that this was not a problem. Many in family in police force, and it was a problem (in 1996). Foulger & Childs visited (no pushy sales-person) suggested internal beading. No problems, always trustworthy.

We've known Steve and Mark for over 20 years when they did their first job for us. Their windows are still, as then, as good as any on the market. They leave as they find it - only the tea caddy needs a refill.

I have used this company twice and was extremely pleased on both occasions. The original review and estimate was carried out in a friendly and courteous manner they invited me to their depot to view the products and process. The quality is as good as anything else I have seen. Installation was carried out in a similar friendly fashion with the finished quality being a high standard. All mess was neatly cleaned and everything left as they found it. Prices are good value I would use them again.
