Dale and colleague refitted the poorly fitted sliding doors in the upstairs of my duplex flat. Before, there was water coming in. After, there is not. Great service, communication and was a pleasure to have them on site. Thanks both.

Best in the business. Recently got a new front door installed, from the quote to the door being fitted was seamless, absolutely no hassle whatsoever. The old door was replaced and fitted within 3 hours of arrival and you wouldn’t even know they had been. I could not recommend Cityglass enough and will definitely be recommending to friends and family. Thanks again guys, top class service.

City glass double glazed all my windows over a period of time. Last week Dale created a wonderful double glazing solution for the ice cold cupula. The difference in the normally chilly staircase is incredible. Most grateful.

City Glass replaced several failed double glazing units in our house and three rotten sashes. They were excellent - the estimate was competitive and allowed for a helpful discussion about what was required.

When it came to the work it became apparent that more work was required than estimated. This was dealt with extremely reasonably and professionally by Dale and the team, and I was kept fully appraised throughout.

The work was completed to a high quality and they were very accommodating to our timescale. Thank you for an excellent job!

Double glazed traditional sash and case windows fitted to 7 windows of second floor tenement flat. I was very impressed with service of City Glass. Right from getting a quote to installation. Everything went smoothly - the quote was clear, my queries answered promptly and the installation team, Dale and the boys, were great - very quick and efficient. They were installed in a day and a half and on the date agreed. I'm extremely pleased with the windows...they have made such a big difference to my flat. Its warmer and quieter and they look great.

Can I take this opportunity to say what a great job the guys did when fitting the windows. They were polite and took the time to discuss what they were going to do before starting. They didn't stop working the entire time they were on site. What was also nice was that I didn't hear any swearing or shouting even though it was a difficult job due to the wall and building construction. Over all it was a professional installation. Although it was a long lead time from order to installation, the office staff were spot on with dates and we were able to plan around the install date.

Replacement of 6 double-glazed window-panes, which had become "misted".

Work expertly and quickly done. I was especially grateful for the care taken to leave the windows sparkling-clean and the work place as clean and tidy as they found it. A first-class job altogether!

We had City Glass replace all the windows in a tenement flat we purchased. It included large bay window plus odd sized other windows. The job was done on time, to a high standard, they cleaned up after themselves, and no extra costs. I wasn't left with any joinery or issues with the mouldings/surroundings of the windows, despite the age of the property.

I would highly recommend this company and use them again.

Hi,
I have had 2 windows replaced and one window replaced with patio doors and I received a high quality standard and service with this company.
Dale is very professional and listens to what you want and gives good advice and has always done our work to a great satisfaction for us.
We are definitely using this company again in the near future.
Also always clean up after themselves.

Review Comments
City Glass installed 7 windows, French doors and composite front door.

Concerned about the quality of the installation I employed Greg Adams to complete a survey of the installation. Greg Adams has BSc (Hons) in Building Surveying and is a Fellow of The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors 2014 and Fellow of Chartered Association of Building Engineers. He has 16 years practical experience of all aspects of Building Surveying with particular in relation to building pathology, condition related aspects of buildings, workmanship and building disputes.

The following are extracts, in verbatim, from his report:
My initial inspection of the window and door installations revealed sizeable gaps between the newly rendered ingoes and lintel soffits to the door/window frames, which is unusual for a property that is undergoing window and door replacement combined with new rendering. Review of the apertures externally and then internally revealed that the gaps were in my opinion resultant from the new frames being undersized within the aperture
As an example the rear patio doors at the jamb location was noted to have a gap internally of in excess of 20mm, where 5mm would be a normal tolerance if installed to the reasonable standard to be expected of an ordinary competent contractor exercising reasonable skill and care. In essence the patio doors are 30mm short in width to the aperture.
A 45mm gap was evident at the head of the entrance door filled with PU foam, outlining that the door unit and side glazed panel is undersized.
Various non-compliances were noted during my inspection, with evidence of corner fixings located too close to the external corner and a lack of fixings to sills and heads.
It should be noted that large gaps leave the window and doors installations vulnerable to failure in relation to weather tightness whilst compromise the thermal capabilities of the installation.
In conclusion, I am of the opinion that the window and door contractual works fall below the reasonable standard to be expected of an ordinarily competent contractor exercising reasonable skill and care. Specifically and of most concern in my opinion, is that the manufactured sizes of the windows have not been correctly measured to suit the aperture resulting in excessive gaps around the frames. Further issues were also evident to the contracted works including the frames being set forward and not bridging the vertical DPC as would typically be expected whilst inadequate fixing arrangements were also noted.

To resolve this matter I had to employ a solicitor as City Glass initially refused to replace the windows with correctly sized units. Then, they offered to replace the units but requested that I sign pre-installation agreement taking responsibly for sizing the windows, which was refused. They then requested that Greg Adams supply the dimensions. Again this was refused.

Finally, I requested a refund and sourced another company to install Rehau units.

Moderator Response
BUSINESS RESPONSE: This review is for work carried out almost 2 years ago. and after over 12 months of offering suitable solutions, advised to us by trusted and respected individuals throughout the building trade, window manufacturers and others. Providing documentation supporting that these solutions did not compromise the window products or have any effect on the thermal performance of the windows that would have achieved the level of expectation of the client. These offers were refused. There are many facts that this review fails to cover and, after 2 years and having reached, what we thought was an amicable agreement we would like to decline further comment. Except to say that this review is based on selected information and does not cover the full situation.
