Howard has been exceptionally helpful. From coming round to give a quote, to looking into ventilation systems and to getting the work done within a busy period in a time-frame that suited me. He was friendly, professional and clearly willing to go above and beyond. I am extremely happy with the results and would definitely use Surrey and South London Glassworks again.

Reliable, punctual and professional. And very tidy. Lovely guy, what most impressed me was I was given 2 quotes after measuring the window. One was for more expensive tinted and one for normal. After finding out what type it was, I was quoted for the less expensive (with a coating) despite it being obvious I wouldn't have known the difference. Hence trustworthy as well. Highly recommended.

I cannot recommend Howard highly enough! I was impressed from the offset when Howard couldn't take my call to discuss coming to do give a quote but said he would call me back...  past experience with other workmen left me feeling sceptical however Howard called me back within the hour. He then arrived to quote when he said he would and what is more was the cheapest quote by over £500!  In short Howard is a star... a nice man to have in the house and meticulous with his work.  My only negative thing is that I wish we had found him before we had done the rest of the sash windows refurbished! Call Howard you wont regret it.

Howard replaced ten double-glazed units (in which water had entered) in three aluminium windows all about 30 years old. The windows now look as good as new. Howard did a very good job even though one window was inaccessible by a ladder and he had to remove the window frames to change the units. Although this took longer than he expected, he kept to his original quotation which was very competitive compared to other quotes I had received.. I would certainly recommend Howard.

Two other glaziers told me there was no possible way to repair it and that I would need to replace the entire window whilst a third glazier took one look at it and simply didn’t want to know. I called Howard after reading his very positive feedback on Checkatrade and was not disappointed. He managed to repair the window - which now looks as good as new – both quickly and at a very reasonable cost. He even primed the new wood for me free of charge. Very impressive.

Howard is not wrong - he is a total perfectionist!  He installed coloured glass splashbacks in our kitchen. The shape that was required was very awkward (inside a chimney breast recess) with no right angles and with difficult access, but the finished product was amazing.  We are more than 100% happy with his work and are very happy to recommend him.

He came on a weekend to fit a draught-proof seal and escutcheon cover to the French doors to the garden.  A first rate job from a first rate trades person. Great!!

Howard did a fantastic job of repairing the cracked glass in my front door and windows. He went to great trouble to match the pattern and colour of the lead light glass in the front door to the extent that it is now impossible to tell that there were ever repairs done. I would thoroughly recommend him, he was polite, professional and completed the job perfectly. He even helped with a few extra things such as fixing a couple of sash windows that weren't opening properly. If I ever need a glazier again, I will certainly be going back to Howard!

I phone Howard as a window had smashed badly leaving shards of glass everywhere. He came as soon as he could (within 2 hours) and not only replaced the window perfectly but also told me not to worry about sweeping up the enormous amount of glass as he would do it and dispose of it. Howard was tidy, polite and extremely helpful and charged a very fair price for his job. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone.

What more praise can I add to previous reviews? Howard is a real craftsman who takes the time and trouble to get things right. His draft-proofing of our old victorian sashes has transformed them - not just for drafts but street noise too. The new sashes he fitted are superb quality and a snug fit despite a slightly wonky old frame. His costs are very reasonable and he's religious about getting your approval for any unforeseen extras. Left the place cleaner than when he arrived. Faultless.
