“Couldn’t believe that a UPVC door was over 2,000. They said their prices are better than other companies but this is far from the truth. Advisor took about 2 hrs in my home. His laptop was not working well. Was a complete waste of 2 hours. I’m getting far better quotes from other companies. Don’t bother with this company. All recent reviews are all bad as u can see”

“They only work fast when it comes to securing quote the rest of service doesn't exist. Immediatly after install I pointed at bad installation, one window wouldn't open/close. I was offered hinges to rectify problem with my windows and a YEAR and 4 months they call me each month one day before engineer visit to tell me parts didn't arrive. I tried all complaint channels but hear nothing but re-arranged engineer visit a month later. One year later I give up... STAY AWAY from SAFESTYLE!”

“Shown the sample unit by the rep and was impressed. Place the order, paid deposit. Surveyor called to do the "Milimetre Perfect" measuring. He advised 2 of the 3 windows required lintels to obtain FENSA certification. A few days later, I was called fom head office to be told, "We cannot do one of the windows as specified, as it is too small and you need 2 lintels, which will caost an extra £300". The installer called and did not fit lintels, when challenged he said, "you don't need them, they just say that to cover their arse". The frames where undersized and packed out with loads of nylon shims and foam. They do not appear to be the same specification as agreed at point of sale and One of them is very hard to open/shut. "Chatted" with online agent, who said an agent would be in touch but nothing yet, despite 3 emails. When I managed to speak to a customer services agent, to query the lack of lintels, she said "If the installer said you don't need them, he will be right, they know what there doing". As a footnote, the salesman claimed Anglian and Everest had ceased trading and Safestyle had bought Everest's business, so we are now providing Everest spec windows.”

“Asked for an estimate. Was given a price then miraculously £200 was knocked off. I was then contacted again snd another£200 knocked of. I advised Safestyle I was getting offer estimates snd I would contact godmother if I was interested. I then received another two calls and was told if I didn’t sign up today tge price would go up by £400… may I advise your salespeople that if you want to have successful sakes, do not speak to people tge way I was spoken to. Disgusting v customer service.. I wouldn’t have you near my property if you gave me the windows free”

“Shocking experience- I Arranged a quote from safestyle (Ellesmere port). The sales advisor arrived 40 minutes late, having a different excuse to the one provided by the office in the courtesy call. Regardless, I politely invited him in. The sales advisor measured up and quoted me £3800 for 2 medium windows and an exterior composite door. When I declined this, in his next breath he reduced this to £3000. When I explained that I had a local company providing a quote in the afternoon he then lowered this to £2650. As expected with any sales company, he proceeded to speak unfavourably about other companies and advised me to use Safestyle as other companies wouldn’t be able to fit me in until March-April 22 and would be poor quality. I advised that I would get back to him but thanked his for coming. Later that day, I received a call from the local manager. I advised that we had received a quote of £1800 (all in) for the same windows and doors, to be fitted end of January by a local company but thanked them for their time. The manager was pleasant. The following day I received a call from Safestyle’s Head office asking for feedback. I politely advised of my experience and that I was unhappy that they were going to charge me £3800, which was quickly reduced without any clear calculations. I shared my concerns that some customers may have been blindsided by the sales patter and ultimately paid significantly over the odds, in my opinion. The male became extremely rude, sarcastic, raising his voice and speaking over me. He asked for my honest opinion but then responded completely unprofessionally. I asked him not to call me again. That night I received another call which I did not answer. The following day I received a further call from the Head Office manager asking for feedback. I advised of the conversation I had with the previous representative and she initially apologised. However, again when I advised them that I have been unhappy with the experience and their sales approach and quote, and will be using a different company, she began talking over me, stating that safe style products are the best and that my windows and doors will fail after 5 years (despite not knowing the company). She also began raising her voice and arguing with my opinion, speaking to me in the manner that was belittling. She initially advised that they no longer use the ‘old school’ sales approach and would have called me to reduce the price had I have accepted the initially £3,800. Which I highly doubt. She then began stating that I should have expected them to start off high and reduce the price (despite just saying they don’t practice that anymore). Utterly disgusting customer service, causing stress to customers that is completely unnecessary. Contradictory and disrespectful. I will NEVER use Safestyle and I urge anyone to consider the company’s ethos and compare them to other companies before instructing them. I have had to block their number to prevent them from contacting me further. The local company have been brilliant, friendly, efficient and the quality is excellent too. No complaints! *based on my own personal opinions and experiences*”

“I was looking to replace my windows and front door with bifolding door in the living room fitted.. I thought I get a quote from Safe Style UK. A salesman came and took 3 hours and took £1000 deposit for the order and nothing has been done since then...its been 2 months and no phone call from the company. I have emailed them and called them many times but was told someone will call me but no one has.. I wish I had just done to a local window company with less hassle... if you want hassle free then definitely this company is not the one to use...”

“We had french doors fitted on 29 November 2021. Shortly after the installers left, we noticed there was a gap letting air in from outside. We called the offices and spoke to quality assurance who assured us someone would come out on 30 November to resolve the issue. No one arrived. We have called the office every day since and each time we are told someone will come out but we are still waiting and it’s 4th December 2021. Safestyle are not interested to fix their own poor standard installation and we paid a lot of money. Very poor customer service.”

“Trust me, NEVER give Safestyle UK the benefit of the doubt and allow them to come and quite. I only said yes because I actually want a quote for new windows and doors - the idiot lost himself a sale by going straight into his control tactics rather than just measure up, quote and let me buy windows I already want. How thick can you get? Typical pressure sales tactics and I've heard from others since that they will go as far as to bully people into signing a deal, refusing to leave until you do - how desperate can you get? What satisfaction is there in making money by trying to manipulate, control, pressure and bully people - and why, if the company's products, service and price are any good, would a company depend on sales people like that? They are clearly self-employed and earn on commission only - but if they were decent individuals they'd get another job. They're not decent, they're horrible nasty vile low life scum with no sense of pride and no moral decency, and they work for a money grabbing rip-off merchant company that amounts to nothing more than a soulless sales engine. Window companies like that, and people like that, make you want to avoid even buying new windows when they're something you actually want - so god knows what remorse the poor people must be feeling who never wanted windows in the first place and were pressured into it. Take my word for it, buy your windows elsewhere.”

“If I were able to leave a review with no stars I would. Terrible communication. workmanship and constantly let down with appointments not kept. No one takes responsibility to resolve issues. 14 months later and still having problems - fascia coming away, window locks fallen out and guttering wonky! I just wish I’d known before spending a huge amount of money with Safestyle. One of the biggest regrets of my life.”

“I had two new doors fitted, my beck door has constant locking issues and leaks water into my kitchen during heavy periods of rainfall. I had an engineer from another company come out, he spent 45 minutes inspecting the doors and found that the door frames were not installed correctly, both had bows which resulted in seal failure, end result water entering my property onto a new laminated floor. After many months of phone calls and repeated visits to try and resolve the issues, a Safestyle engineer arrived on 16/11/21 to relocate the door frames and fit a new back door, from what I can see the engineer did a good job re-alining the door frames which should have been done at the time of the initial installation, however, he was unable to fit the new door because I'd had a £200 drop down blind fitted to the window, he was not allowed to remove this. I called Safestyle today to ask if they would cover the cost of removal and refitting of the blind as the problem was caused due to their installation, not that of my having a blend fitted to what I assumed would be a correctly fitted product, NO was the answer, so I'm now in a position of removing the blend myself and possibly causing damage to it or calling the fitters back in to remove and refit it at my cost which I feel is unfair as this is all down to Safestyles sloppy workmanship nothing else. I do not and would not recommend this company to anyone, their customer relations and ability to understand their responsibility with regard to correcting their customers miss-aligned incorrectly installed doors is outrageous.”

“chased and chased again Just to be clear we didnt buy from safe- style but if you are thinking of getting a quote be aware of the following: the price the quote at first drops by many thousands of pounds if you sign up immediately - always a sign of a company that doesnt want to compete with others. Having then declined the quote with a definite email I was chased on some more occasions from head office when i said that they could give me a final price by email I was then rung back to be told that it had to be discussed with me on the phone so my conclusion is if you want to have a sensibly quiet life dont talk to these people about windows”

“I would put minus star if I could. Stay away from this company. The sale man was full of lie. Installation was unsafe. Big damage to the property during installation and no fix was done afterwards. Fitters & their manager tried to avoid replacing faulty product during installation and push me to use warranty in the future. Fitter tried to push me to sign completion form even before I saw the most expensive piece of the product - front-door, not to mention its installation, when being questioned, fitter said his manager pushed him to do so. Customer service was difficult to reach, and didn't help even if the phone got through. Initially I thought it was just bad luck with the fitter, but after interacting with two managers from the depo, I realized the company is systematically rotten. The attached photo is how the window looks like after 5 months' installation. And it's only one of the many problems they've left.”

“On the 8th October a salesman came to the house at my request. After speaking to the representative I ordered 2 patio doors, I was then contacted on the 14th October saying it would be 4 to 6 weeks to installation, he said that any damage to the K.rendering on the house would be covered by their insurance. I suddenly had a call at 7.30 this evening saying that they would not go ahead with the contract, telling me that I would get my deposit back. Probably something to do with any damage to the rendering Completely out of the blue. Also, asking personal questions, which had nothing whatsoever to do with fitting 2 patio doors. Only just seen the terrible reviews this minute. Absolutely dreadful”

“Scam, Fraud, Health & safety hazard, hidden charges / extortion , lies, aggressive and this is just the beginning. This company is a record holder on the highest fine given by Trading Standards (2018) and it is still the same company if not worse. I have made a mistake to choose this company. They damaged my property - plaster around the windows I can see internal of my walls! When I asked to repair the damage they caused, they said it is 110 pounds extra per window extra (hidden costs, or extortion?!) They delivered broken hard wood shelves - when I rejected them I was told they are made out of natural materials, and the nature wants the wood to crack and you cannot wind with the nature! Installation was suppose to take 2-3 days, max week. After two weeks of what they called work (by a single person ofc.) still no way near to completion. Fast forward 4 months, I got windows and door "installed" with big damage to plaster - +15 cm width. Shelves broken and damaged during installation, PVC chipped in a window, patio doors shelve completely loose and causing tripping hazard. During the installation fitters decided to leave screws, nails debris all over my house. No cleaning was done. During installation they throw the window frame from 1 floor directly onto my patio in the garden - I guess it was the fastest way?! Additional scaffolding was apparently needed - but only on the front of the property, not on the back (my house is symmetrical) and paved patio on the back! In the middle of installation fitter was trying to force to me to sign the completion form, before even the front door was installed, and all the damage present! the drama he threw was unbelievable, trying to make it personal as he worked hard, and he won't get paid etc. etc. Shouting and begging was involved.... Unbelievable. The whole safestyle (UK) operates as one big scam organization with all the work being sub contracted. In order to get in touch with customer services and finally reach a person who can potentially help resolving the issue you will spend several hours on wait, being transferred between departments, until you reach a mysterious person who call him/her self "safe style" just to hear they will call you back - that never happens. Each time I rise the problem with faulty glass, frame or shelves, fitters, and who ever I managed to get in-touch with so called customer services, they tried to convince me that I have to buy faulty and damaged goods, because in this case I will have the warranty on them ! Some times reality is stranger than fiction I guess.. I bought the windows using their 0 % interest free loan. The principle was that safestyle will not get the money until I sign the release form - this is a lie! as in small print in agreement with Barclyes Partners they can get the money anytime the want, saying they have delivered the goods and service!!!! I was just notified that they (safestyle) decided that they have delivered goods and service so they took my money. They sales person was also lying - saying that he will provide us a quote, which is only valid for 1 day! After 4h of sales talk we signed - so stupid of me! Please checkout the court case against this company. I reported this case to Trading Standards hoping they can resurrect the court case from 2018.”
