Report
We had new windows, doors, conservatory and gutters/fascia/soffits done. All the work should have been completed by end of June but for various reasons got delayed and except for some snagging issues the works are only just complete 9 September! This has clearly been very stressful and we felt like we have only now just got our home back. Having said all of this I found Ken Rhodes (firm & owner) to be fair, reasonable and willing to see the job through. If they got something wrong they would resolve it somehow. Overall I am happy with the work especially our new conservatory. We also had some new

I was given a quote, paid the deposit and was told i would have to wait 8 weeks for the installation. I was eventually given an installation date, took the day off work, waited at home and they never turned up, i was told i would have to wait another 8 weeks. I cancelled the installation and requested my deposit back.

This is by far the worst business I have ever dealt with in my life.. The sales guy gives you all the lips service, " we are professional yaady daa nonsensical salesman talk", but when it comes to delivering on their contracts and actually being professional and honest there you find the real dishonest unreliable incompetent Kenrohdes management
They stalled us with every excuse made up under the sun . 4 times they fail to deliver on agreed dates, 4 times the laying unreliable management come up with excuses
I cannot fault the installers, good job they are contractors to them not part
