I recently used Headway Doors and Windows Ltd to replace the doors on either-side of my porch and to brick-up a third, unwanted doorway as well. I was very impressed with their professionalism from start to finish and feel that the service they provided was reasonably good value too. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anybody else and will probably use them again myself at some point down the line.

Despite Chris and Scott starting work on the hottest day of the year they were very hard working, skilled and considerate when installing the windows. An excellent job, thank you .....I would have no trouble recommending Headway.

Just had a door fitted, they said up to 12 weeks from measuring but it was fitted within 3 weeks which was great. The fitters did a great job and were very tidy.

External shiplap door

Headway were able to supply and fit a non-standard size external door. No glass was required in the door and a shiplap finish was agreed as the door provides access to under house storage. The time from ordering to installation was around 5 weeks with Christmas and New Year in that period. Chris the installer was courteous and professional.

Two replacement windows

We required two replacements windows and contacted several local companies, Only four of these were willing to give a quote over the phone. Headway had one of the best quotes so we asked them to come out and confirm. They came to see us and explained very clearly what we would get and the price all with no pressure. We ordered and the turn round was very quick. The fitter arrived as arranged and fitted with no fuss and no mess he even sorted out a problem with our front door while he was here. Would recommend every time.

Unresolved entry of water during wet and windy weather under poorly installed UPVC French doors.
Customer Service
Quality
Value
We chose a low threshold, inward-opening set of French doors due to safety concerns in order to reduce trip hazards and the threat of wind gusts. In full knowledge of the westerly-facing elevation of the site, Headway at no time suggested this particular product was unsuitable and would perform badly. If they claim otherwise, they are merely trying to pass the responsibility onto us. Multiple, unsuccessful visits have been undertaken by Headway to rectify this unfit product. An attempt at draining accumulated water from the threshold frame—drilling a few holes in the linear sump—was never checked for effectiveness. Measures such as the addition of an effective drip bar have not been attempted. Headway Doors and Windows have never responded to my formal letter of complaint. During recent episodes of rain and wind, water continues to enter. This company is fine if the job goes well. However, if issues arise that are difficult to remedy, they become invisible, leaving these problems unresolved. Do not employ this contractor.

The trader replied (on 30/11/2020)
We are sorry & disappointed to hear of your dissatisfaction after an installation you were very happy with & note your comment that we disappeared after installation but can confirm & as stated by yourself in your review we have returned on several occasions when contacted by you about a very minimal water ingress issue which only occurs with extreme weather in a certain direction. Unfortunately low disabled thresholds are not weather rated & our representatives as standard do inform all clients at point of sale of this if a client requests this option. We have returned several times to try to assist by adding further drainage & drip bars but unfortunately as stated these thresholds do not hold a weather rating & having a low step was important to your order with us. Please accept our sincere apologies for this product design.
Great conservatory build

This company agreed to build our bespoke conservatory. There was constant communication from start to finish, even when there was a long delay between the building of the foundation to the erecting of the UPVC double glazing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The work done was very professional and we had chosen the company as a result of numerous works seen through friends and family. During the delay we kept in contact with the company who advised us as to the state of play in relation to the delay. The workmen were very polite and completed their work satisfactorily.

We had arranged to have new bi-fold doors and a new kitchen window fitted before the Covid lock-down was imposed, but the work was done as soon as the lock-down was modified. We had actually used Headway a couple of years before, when we had three sets of new windows installed in the house that we had just bought (they were recommended by the previous owners). Anyway, on both occasions we were very well advised by Headway, the standard of the work and the quality of the materials were excellent, the service very friendly and the price very reasonable. When a particularly high wind discovered a very small gap in one of the window frames, Headway fixed it immediately. I would recommend them without hesitation.
