“My new front door was fitted on 26 May after many months of indecision (by me) and a huge amount of help and enthusiasm by the team at Stratton, led by James. He was extremely patient and full of ideas to help me to achieve my perfect door. Fitting wasn’t easy as the opening was totally out of alignment, which was why it had been almost impossible to open and close the previous door without the use of brute force, but the fitters have left me with a beautiful door that opens and closes smoothly and with ease. It was a joy to work with such an enthusiastic, friendly and professional team.”
