Installation of bi-folds, French doors, patio doors, fixed windows, sash windows and smoke windows in a block of 7 flats.
We first saw this company working on two neighbours properties. As a result we viewed additional projects they had worked on prior to commissioning and testing Mr Lower on one of our flats. He and his team have proved to be courteous, punctual and very reliable. We have no hesitation in recommending him. The quality of the products are good, pricing is competitive and delivery has been on time. He has now provided windows, bi fold doors, French doors, patio doors and sash windows across multiple units of ours. We are a local property development company and tend to always use local companies in the Brighton and Hove region wherever possible. It supports the local economy and the quality of personal service in our experience vastly out-weighs the national companies. Mr Lower has just obtained preferred supplier status. We will be using him again. Should you wish to see the quality of his work we would be happy to show it.

Job was to resize an old wooden patio door frame and install with doors. Paul gave me a good quote for the work and did a brilliant job. It took less time than anticipated and he adjusted price accordingly. I would highly recommend.

Replaced leaking garden tap
Even though it was a small job at very short notice, they were happy to come round early Sat morning so we wouldn't be left with it leaking all weekend. Couldn't have been more helpful and very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.
