This is first time I used this company, so it was a risk. However, I found them to be a trustworthy, reliable company with good pricing. Quoted and fitted within a few weeks.
House looks great.
Will definitely use this outfit again and highly recommend them.

A UPVC window at our property in St Ives suffered burn damage from a mirror that had been placed on the ledge. We got a replacement from HWBP which was then expertly fitted by Daniel. He was masterful at his craft, highly experienced and a pleasure to chat with!
I'd highly recommend HWBP for windows, doors etc.

Can highly recommend HWBP. I had a new set of french doors and a new window installed. Penny and Jaron handled the whole process from start to finish incredibly well; quick and clear communication, good advice and happy to answer any questions. The final installation was top drawer.
