Jon and Joe did an excellent job of replacing my front door and 3 windows in my porch. I was very happy with the whole process, they gave me a quote in a very timely fashion, explained and clarified all the options and made adjustments very readily when I asked them to; they gave me a date for the installation and stuck to that; their communications were always prompt and helpful; the installation was carried out carefully and to a high standard, and completed on schedule. From my experience, I would be more than happy to recommend them.

We had our windows, front door and French doors replaced and from start to finish the service was excellent. At the planning stage there was no pressure put on us and I felt that we could chose exactly what we wanted. Work started on time and was completed in the time frame. They were always punctual and kept us updated throughout the process. They were extremely friendly and I felt comfortable having them in my home. The work was completed to an excellent standard. They were neat and tidy throughout and cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day. Invoices were provided via email so payment was easy. I cannot think of anything negative about their service/work. I would definitely use them again and would highly recommend them to others.

J.C. Friend & Sons recently replaced a 12ft panel of patio windows with double sliding doors for us. The quality of the product, the value for money, as well as the faultless installation, were enough to warrant a 5-star review, but the real joy of the installation was the Friend family themselves. Not only were they super friendly and polite, but Jon Snr was here for a time on the first day and he noticed that my front door wasn't closing properly, so he just fixed it and then told me about it afterwards! He was also kind enough to recommend a local tradesman to do my floors for me. Exceptional family business who take great pride in their work and who truly live up to - and in my experience, exceed - their excellent reputation.

The installation was carried out on the agreed date and time. From the time of receiving my quote until the work was completed I was kept informed. Jon and his brother Joe are very personable and take great care, they oblivious take pride in their workmanship. I cannot fault their work in any way. As an added bonus their bill was cheaper than a quote I had from another Trusted Trader. No hesitation with recommending this company it was a pleasure to deal with this business.

Called John to help out my 87 yr old mum with a really complicated job. He attended site quickly, surveyed and provided a quotation. There were some changes, he re-attended site and re-measured. Nothing was too much trouble. He kept me informed at all times, kept to his quote and kept me updated on the lead in times etc. They kept to the dates, attended site on the day and at the time they said they would. They took out the old shattered windows and installed the new ones, a perfect fit efficiently, cleanly and diligently, with a keen eye on cleanliness. His two operatives were very, very personable and clearly very good at their job. Apparently it was the expertise of their trainer. Would not hesitate to use them again and recommend to others.

JC Friend and Sons replaced 8 windows this week at our house. They are a highly professional company, do what they say they are going to do and when they agreed to do it. Most significantly, the whole team were delightful, friendly, polite and very very tidy. They were completely respectful of our home and protected everything from any damage. Their workmanship was perfect and they left the job in better shape than they found it, going out their way to even do a few extra jobs beyond the scope that they identified, such as removing some conduit whilst the scaffold was assembled, filling in a few draughty holes that they spotted in the on other window frames that were out of their scope and tidying up some pointing of the brickwork that was not in the scope. I would highly recommend this company. the friendliest and tidiest contractors we have ever had.

JC Friend and Sons fitted new windows and patio in our home. Jon Snr gave us a very fair quote and was very thorough in the process helping to explain all the different options available unlike others who came to quote. Whole job was completed within a week - could not believe the speed and quality of work. The whole team were polite, friendly, tidy and skilled. A true family business who value their customers and each other. The team have continued to be helpful and sincere since finishing the job, sorting out Certass certification and recommending other tradesmen to us. Cannot recommend Jon and his team enough!

I now have used this company on three separate occasions for the instalation of double glazed windows over a period of 3 years. On each occasion estimations were carried on time as agreed. The work done was of a first class standard in both materials used and fitting of the windows.Preparation was most professional and all debris both inside and outside cleared away and the site left clean and tidy. The amount of redecoration we had to do afterwards was minimal. I have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this company for this work. They were courteous and helpful ( my wife and I are in our eighties) and a pleasure to have had them around the house, doing this work.

Used John Friend Windows to replace all my Double glazing, he on initial visit was very helpful and took me through the process, his estimate was on par with others, but he had that certain professionalism about him. When I agreed to use his company, he returned to measure accurately, as his initial quote did not go into removing render to accurately measure, also I had changed my mind to the style of some of the windows. John kept in contact with me advising of progress of order and approx installation date. On the first day of installation his sons (Jon and Joe) and a lovely character Mike arrived at 8am, and began to cover my carpets etc, advising me of where they were starting and it would be cold and it was, but hey what else can you do in winter with windows removed. 4 days of work and every day they cleaned up and tidied, great workmanship throughout and my house feels warmer now. In my opinion, you cannot get a more trustful and professional team, it was a real pleasure to see them work, they were so friendly and attentive all throughout the job. In my eyes money well spent and a credit to him, Mike and sons. Thank you

We had a new front door and side panel fitted February 2023. Jon and Joe arrived when they said they would, were polite, courteous and friendly. We have used the company several times and always find their work to be of the highest standard.
