I never realised I was had from the offset
I should have read this page The real customer reviews before allowing them to direct me to trust pilot
The salesperson pretended to phone someone-head office- and offered me an enormous discount almost half the price -it was a Sunday so how stupid am I.
Also when I said I wanted a composite door and could I look at a brochure he said I didn't need one that PVC is just as good and looks the same and showed me PVC brochure and only costs £1000 whereas composite door costs £2000.
I recently had another older stone house fitted with another company this was £5500 all in and composite front door in duck egg blue & larger windows so I am able to draw a comparison it took them the week to complete took their tine and looks perfect excellent quality Sureseal.
I went with Safestyle even though it was £500 more expensive than Sureseal because it could be fitted in 4 weeks and it was.
The 2 fitters came from Gloucester the house is in Aberdare Mid Glamorgan South Wales.
They flew the windows and doors up in half a day.
And results showed this was done at pace.
During the installation I noticed the front door was on a slant diagonally and top right window also slanting backwards and to the side.
I pointed this out to the younger one off 2 who was there.
I showed him the window he was narked & Cross about it
The other bloke had gone to fetch some plaster
He said he would see what he could do
I went home and complained to Safestyle
When I went back nothing was changed the older one off the 2 tried to give me some banter about it being an older property
I tried to say the windows and doors that came out were straight
I never gave them the balance what was owed as not happy
The next day some one else was coming to complete the ironmongery on door that is spy hole door nob house numbers safety chain
All the above were fitted next day and he said he was a service engineer from Gloucester
He gave a similar speel
And offered me £500 off the price and I said it wasent enough
And I wanted new sorted asap and again refused the balance of payment
I had to leave to collect my car from the garage wasent sure if I had locked front door properly as was in a rush
The service engineer was in his van opposite when I left the street
I had opened and closed door since many times with no problem
When I returned I couldn't get back in the house
The manager in Pontypool had phoned me as I was on way for my car so I had his phone number
When I returned I couldn't get back into house had had no problem previously
I phoned Pontypool manager and he sent someone local round
He sorted it straight said the mechanism was too tight and he loosened the lock area and it was OK like it was before
This gentleman was nice and helpful
I said to the Pontypool manager when he came why couldn't I have had someone like that sorting my installation there wouldn't have been a problem then
He said they were very busy and asked a Gloucester team to fit mine
I said I was unlucky then the salesperson must have had me down as a pushover.
I spoke to my friend who is a solictar he went on about windows plumb and Victorian houses trading standards and basically saying they should have done a reasonable installation.
Meanwhile it is now 3 weeks later and the manager in Pontypool has also seen house
Apparently the new window and door have been ordered
So will watch this space and give update
The upshot is the quality is no where near the quality of the Sureseal windows
The hardware fittings for similar style windows are miles apart and the look off the windows
Sureseal were also much cheaper in comparison
As for the Safestyle installers it is luck off the draw many off them are no doubt good and if people are not paying for the entire job ( apart from deposit) on completion then they have choice to pay balance or not and if people have signed a contract for monthly payments Safestyle have them over a barrel should the quick as a flash couldn't care less team turn up.
The trust pilot reviews
I have reviewed their reviews and it says false negative reviews are removed and false positive ones are not so that explains it.
So in conclusion it is best to take he trust pilot reviews with a pinch of salt.
I will be doing trust pilot review at the end off this story.
