“Everything went wrong from the start to finish. The so called double glaze windows was cracked by their workmen. When I complained about it for workmen to revisit and replace the cracked window, from the edge to the middle of the glass. Everest demanded I must pay for the damage they caused. All windows and patio door not sealed adequately. Key handles to window wobbly. Scaffolding left for weeks before they were finally removed after much email and phone calls. Everest increased the balance I was to pay. Now I am being taking to Court demanding what I didn’t owe. All documents sent to their supposed address returned unclaimed. Please look very well before you leap. Do not go near Everest at all otherwise you will regret it BIG TIME. The cheek of it is that they warned anyone dealing with them not to publicise anything about their experiences.”

“What went wrong? More like what went right. Had complete glazing for a new build. 3 sets of french doors all the wrong size, are very difficult to close and creak like a haunted house. They couldn’t complete installation while scaffolding was up then couldn’t do the work once it was down so 2 years on still not complete. Charged us VAT when they were not supposed to. HMRC write to tell us Everest needs to pay us back. Spent almost 2 weeks arguing with them over this. They seem reluctant to refund, even though I have sent them a copy of the letter from HMRC. Shame I had to give any stars at all because not even worth 1*. When you have to contact customer services they won’t let you speak to the person needed to deal with it. They email the relevant person who emails them back who phone you. Just go round in circles. DO NOT BUY EVEREST!!!!!!!”

“We had a representative over, and. .my world! We could not get him out! from 12 to four o'clock! The quality of Windows seems okay, but the prices started from over the sky high, then when it came down to a reasonable amount, the guy annoyed us so much that we couldn't wait for him to leave! The manner of talking to customers trying to guilt them because they do not want to spend crazy money was so ridiculous! We had a budget and already enquired With other big companies about the prices,so we were aware of prices. The guy was so unprofessional,that we had to ask him to leave, but even this didn't stop him from talking and trying old techniques ^to call the manager^ to persuade us! Dreadful experience!”

“Very professional from start to finish. Everyone we interacted with was nice, reliable and simply professional. They did what they said they would, they didn't ghost us like everyone else, so we are very happy with their installation. We used Everest twice already, and sure will be coming back if we need anything else done. We had two doors replaced, both external, both have been done to a high standard.”

“Had app with oct Everest the rep was annoyed that I didn’t hear when he called my door bell he was unable to provide me with pictures of what the secondary glazing would look like instead he drew a couple of lines on his phone which I couldn’t see properly as the picture kept moving. When he left he put his hand on my shoulder and said thanks mate. I found the whole experience unprofessional and I was very uncomfortable calling a 55 year old mate over familiar and patronizing as for the hand on the shoulder was a step to far. I informed called Everest straight away about my experience and spoke to Jasmine she said it was very unprofessional they said someone would get back to me by the end of the day no body did. I did get a call from mr larki if I wanted to proceed I informed him I was waiting for customer service to call me back 2 min later I got a call from his manager was was rather perplexed by what had happened. Ive since has an estimate from Britelite so far Ive had good service from a knowledgeable professional advisor at my home. I will be going with this company to install my double glazing. I informed him of my experience with Everest he quite rightly said everybody has the same level of customer service regardless. This was echoed by the complaints dept today at Everest. 0 satisfaction. Date of experience: 07 October 2022”

“They fitted a door and a window, the workmanship was inferior. Firstly removing the old door they were like toddlers with power tools after their efforts there was a gaping gap plaster falling after the wall and roof . Then the door was presented though a surveyor had measured twice, and the promise of a manufactured door to fit our door way. It was obvious they had fitted a too small a door with a window on top so there is at three four inches which they filled with insulation foam and messing up our main power cable did an amateurish work with plaster and render which leaked near my power cable so dangerous too. Customer service when faced with a complaint was they put the phone down, so please please do not buy from them do not rely they are a good and professional company they are an arrogant and shoddy outfit. we are now left picking up the pieces”

“Doors and window fitted years ago but now have massive draft coming through both. Got independent to have a look and he found half the screws missing from both. Normal reply, we are a new company we don't honour the old company warranty. Will not touch the new company with a barge pole, new style scammers.”

“Do NOT buy from this company, my lifetime guarantee means nothing as they put the company into receivership then 2/3 months later buy it back so everyone before it went into receivership have now lost their lifetime guarantee. PS the fitters that did my two windows and door were cowboys other fitters had to come and take the window out and refit it, and the door still not working properly but now can’t do anything but pay someone else to fix it. You have been warned.”

“If you are looking to have your windows/home improvements done, please DO NOT go with this company. All they're concerned about is getting their money!! Their workmanship is rubbish and staff are very rude.”

“First thing you should know about Everest is that they are owned by a private equity firm: Better Capital, after going into administration in 2020, voiding all previous customer's warranties then opening up again under a different company name 'Everest 2020 Limited'. Private equity firms are essentially the leaches of the business world, they suck out every drop of profit for their shareholders, cut corners everywhere they can to maximise them profits and keep any investment at minimum or zero, until the company again goes bust. My mother had been an Everest customer for over 40 years, paying a shocking amount of money to have her home done in high quality aluminium double glazing, back in the 80’s when Everest actually earned the title 'fit the best' now it should be 'fit if you’re lucky'. We, now looking back at it, stupidly opted to go with Everest for a back door replacement, thinking it would be the same exceptional service, unfortunately as stated at the start of this post, the impact of being owned by a private equity firm is taking its toll, customer service is none existent, if you managed to get through to someone, they are hard faced, rude and brash. It's only when they want their money do, they suddenly become proactive (8 times they rang my 70yo mother in one day, from 4 different numbers with 2 voicemails and 3 text messages, chasing the final amount of just over £200 only a couple of hours after fitting) then there is the fitting.......Of course all the sales patter is very fast, quick and efficient. But once they get the bulk of your money, it's like Russian roulette, after waiting weeks for a door to be built, our installation date of the 21st Dec was brought forward to the 8th Dec, fab! we thought, the 8th arrived, ‘’oh no, won't be fitted today’’, installer hurt himself, disgruntled we rebooked for the 16th Dec, the 16th arrived, ‘’oh no, it won't be fitted today’’, installer is ill, by this time we are understandably fuming, one of the people in the ‘’Customer Relations’’ department, who we can’t name on here, treated my mother as complete dirt, obnoxious and very unhelpful, she simply made the matter worse, how she is allowed to deal with customers is anyone’s guess. Hope someone will at lease heed my warning and avoid the now lengthy problems and stress we have had to endure, Everest is not the company it used to be, and indeed it never will be, it's on a level with the likes of Safestyle UK, go small or independent for your windows and doors, Everest is proof that a long guarantee means nothing, so you might as well support a more deserving business, than feeding the private equity vultures.”

“Had roofline fitted which meant scaffolding on house. Three weeks (and still counting) after fitted scaffolding still on house. Calls to Everest produced zero action. Abysmal customer service. Would advise anyone not to use this company.”

“This has been an appalling experience. An installer turned up in a van that was straight out of Only Fools and Horses, a set of golf clubs fell out and our expensive windows were buried amongst the junk inside. A pane was broken, and despite a 5 hour visit from a surveyor, the trims were the wrong size. We had asked for some floor covering and shoe covering to be used as we had laid new carpets in one rooom. The installer had neither of these things. He left the job unable to complete it and we had another long wait of several weeks before someone else turned up and said that his predecessor could have fixed the windows on site. He said that he had done a bad job, and he was now spendinghis time visiting various sites toput matters right. Work carrying on in the house which had been timed around this had to be delayed. We were offered £150 compensation which was later withdrawn. A rude, unprofessional company whom I would recommend be avoided at all costs.”

“Avoid this compnay like the plague! Awful customer service, installers were rude, one of them peed on the outside of my house even though we had a working toilet (they were even installing the window in the toilet room??!), laughed at me and turned up late every single day (took more days than needed as they were only working half days due to turning up so late). When installed there were cracks and chips in the windows, there were draughts coming through the windows and doors, the windows didn’t shut correctly so we had the heating on full throughout winter for months until it was finally fixed! All they offered was £300 off the £10,000 bill. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! I wish I researched more into the reviews seeing so many bad ones after using them! Caused so much unneeded stress and anxiety. Disgusting.”
