SolarFrame Reviews

My extension is fabulous! The initial visit for the quote was helpful and detailed but I wasn't under any pressure to place an order. Having SolarFrame project manage everything gave me peace of mind, I was kept informed all the way along. The trades people were all very polite and professional throughout and the quality of the work is obvious. From start to finish the build took less than 5 weeks. I thoroughly recommend SolarFrame to anyone thinking of undertaking a similar project. It really has enhanced my living space.

4.8 out of 5 stars Job number 10983 Sales : 4 stars Gareth, the sales consulant took the time to go through what I was trying to acheive, there was no hard upsell and I felt free to make my own choices. There was an large discount if I booked on the day due to a production slot becoming available, the cynic in me thought this was a sales tactic but when I said I wasn't prepared to make a decision on the day it was accepted. I did get a few phone calls over the following days from the sales manager, but it wasn't excessive and again I didn't feel pressured to make a decision on the call there and then. From the initial consultation there were three things that I wanted out of new windows, first was triple glazing for the heating efficiency, second was discrete trickle vents and third was to maintain the size of the glass. Triple Glazing : 5 stars So far I am very impressed, the noise reduction was instant and very noticeable, obviously will have to wait for the winter months to see if it makes a difference but it is looking promising. Trickle Vents : 5 stars Solarframe were the only firm who said that they could do the discrete type and again I was very impressed with how they've turned out, with both the external and internal view looking more discrete than the hoods. Glass Pane : 2 stars I was warned going to flush fit would result in a big reduction on the fixed panes but that the openers would have minimal difference. That said, the openers are around 18% smaller than the previous windows and it was noticeable as soon as the first window was fitted. I did report this and I got a fairly standard response about how the windows are manufactured, which I think missed the point I was more frustrated at being assured there would be minimal difference. Installation : 5 stars It was a smooth experience, John & Archie worked quickly, kept me informed of what they were doing and ensured I was happy with some of the decorative aspects of the install. They cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day, went round the finished windows and touched up any marks with a paint pen and decorative damage inside was minimal and only requires me to touch up with paint. Product : 5 stars The quality is visible and you can feel the sturdiness in the windows on opening and closing. I was left the paint pen to touch up any other marks I might find or for future if any scuffs occur during cleaning. The two imporant questions; Would I reccomend them? Yes Would I personally use them again? Yes
