Testimonials

The English Craftsman did an amazing job swapping out the old rattly windows in my 1912 villa with new double-glazed windows. This was quite a challenge for the team as there’s not a single right-angle in the place! They were more than up to it - the bay window and bifolds are a particular success. Quality work from a quality outfit, highly recommend.

Debbie McCoard

The English Craftsman are an exceptional firm to deal with. From the initial consultation, detailed quote, reliability in sticking to the dates and times to the efficient, polite and thorough installation of double glazing in my renovated turn of the century cottage everything was professional, open , honest and skilled. I couldn’t be happier and would not hesitate to recommend this firm to anyone.

Hilary Norris

We live in a 1920s house that was partially double-glazed by a previous owner. We engaged with The English Craftsman to double-glaze the remaining windows which included awkward triangular frames and windows with lead-lined panels. The results are great - the house is both quieter and warmer and the windows look very smart. The team were polite and pleasant to be around and communication was excellent. I would recommend them to others (and in fact have already done so).

Juliet MacLean

Top folks. They just replaced all the windows in my 1907 warehouse conversion with brand new double-glazed sashes, and I couldn't be happier with the quality. They're always professional, courteous, get everything done on-time and with excellent communication. Highly recommended.

Robert Curry

The English Craftsmen have replaced for us a badly buckled and unusable bifold window. They are great on communication and timeliness, and we are very pleased with out wonderful new window. Highly recommended.

Mary-Anne Borrowdale

We contracted the English Craftsman to create two bespoke liquor display joinery units for a restaurant fit out. They were extremely professional in their processes and delivery a very high end product in a tight timeframe. We are very pleased with the outcome. I can't recommend these guys highly enough.

Ben Fletcher

It was a pleasure engaging with the English Craftsman to replace some tired sash windows in our 1910 home. I experienced great communication and professionalism. The craftmanship and skill involved is remarkable. My home looks great and is warmer, drier and quieter as a result. I highly recommend.

Brigid Stoneman

The English Craftsman did a beautiful job with the installation of wooden framed double glazed windows and doors in our 1950s house. Having just one company to do the manufacture, installation and painting was so easy and there was nothing left to do after they had finished. Joe and his team were very tidy and considerate while they worked. The communication with everyone in the company was superb and they made a real effort to ensure that we were satisfied with the job.
