We used J.C Friend & Sons to install 6 new windows including 2 bays. They were very consultative when putting together the quote, with helpful suggestions such as putting acoustic glass in my autistic son's bedroom. The quote compared favourably with local competitors. They were professional and considerate when on site, and we are very impressed with the finished product.

We had bifold doors fitted by this company and from start to finish their service was first class. Work was carried out in a professional and helpful way and the attention to detail from John, Jo and BJ was really impressive. So pleased we had this local company undertake our work and would happily recommend them to anyone.

J.C. Friend have just finished fitting double glazed windows for our re-furbished bathroom and landing and a new composite front door. From the beginning of this project, they have been incredibly helpful, giving sound advice when we were trying to decide the most appropriate styles, glass designs and colours. The work itself has been carried out on time and everything has been done to the highest standard including meticulous cleaning up at the end of the job. We have been delighted with the work done and the the end result looks fabulous. We highly recommend J.C. Friend Ltd.

I had quotes from at least 5 different double glazing companies, most of them not giving me any confidence they could do a decent job, but when John came in and after we had spoken about what I was looking for I knew he was the person I wanted and could trust. Being a true family business was also a great selling point. Everything from start to finish was handled in a very friendly and professional manner and the quality of windows and finish was superb, even after a few years the windows look like new and work just as they did on day 1. I have since recommended them to various friends and they too have been delighted with the windows and doors they have had fitted. Highly recommended.

Very poor attitude
Have used Jon before so pinged him on WhatsApp asking him when he could come out to take a look at a door that was giving us trouble. He read the message but did not respond. A few hours later pinged him again to see if he was interested in the job and when he could come over - he read the message but again did not respond. Wrote to him the next day and said that I will look elsewhere as I have not heard back from him and would have appreciated an acknowledgment - I call it common courtesy. Got a stinging message back and he blocked my number calling me rude for pointing out to him that he should have taken 30 seconds to acknowledge my messages and not just ignore me and leave me in a situation where I didn’t know whether he is available or not.

Would highly recommend Jon, he fitted our garage window and replaced another broken window. We are very pleased with the fitting which matches our other existing windows. There was a scratch on one of the sills which Jon pointed out and got replaced. Very competitively priced, efficient and both Jon and his brother were so helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Thank you

Jon helped to fix a porch sliding door which had become very tight. He provided a quote upfront and agreed that he would carry out the work if it could be done in a short space of time. He provided an invoice afterward and carried out the work in a timely and professional manner. I will use him again.

It has been an absolute pleasure having John and the team carry out work for us. The windows and doors look amazing and the team have been really helpful throughout the whole process. It is so nice to meet a genuine contractor that provides an excellent service all round. I will not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needs new windows and doors.

John, Joe and Sam were a delight to deal with from the outset - from arranging the initial measurements/quote consultation through to signing of contract to install and execution. John was referred to me by a family member and my initial impression of him was friendly, professionals, thorough and knowledgeable and he priced the work fairly. On that basis we decided to go with him. I had a lot of questions and changed one of the glass styles after the order was placed with the supplier but nothing was too much effort and John acted quickly to find solutions at no extra cost. The team installed 5 sash style windows including 1 bay window. They worked quickly, efficiently and tidied up thoroughly at the end of each day. The work was completed within the agreed timeframe (3 days- which was quick compared to other companies) and to a very high standard as expected. I can not recommend them highly enough and will be using them for my kitchen extension.
