The best craftsmanship

The best technical knowledge

The best and the most suitable technology

professional & experienced

The Staff at Dovecote Windows and Doors are among the most experienced and professional people working in the industry.

Andrew and Will are our two most senior fitters with over 35 years of experience between them. They are widely acknowledged to be amongst the most technically competent in the County. Both are dedicated to providing an outstanding customer service.

Working with them are a team of highly experienced and trained fitters. They were attracted to the business by our reputation for high quality, our fair dealing and our commitment to our customers.

One key differentiator between Dovecote and our competitors is our commitment to providing our fitters with the benefits of full employment. In an industry with a poor reputation for quality of service and care for its staff, we are deeply proud of the people who work for us and committed to helping them develop and perform to the highest possible standards.

Every one of the team has been trained by the best. When you choose our services you know that the people you are letting into your home have learned and maintain their skills from top quality instructors. All of them have been trained and certified under the formal guidance of our suppliers.

The quality of our work is also under-written by our FENSA certification. FENSA is a government-authorised scheme that monitors building regulation compliance for windows and doors. As such, the work we do for you is regularly checked and assessed by independent regulators.

In conjunction with being underwritten by Fensa, we also offer you the assurance of providing a HomePro backed guarantee. HomePro insure over £5 Billion worth of home improvements and membership of their programme is proof that you are employing a reputable and well established company. We are delighted to be able to offer you this additional level of guarantee.

Our office staff are also among the most experienced in the industry, being drawn from multinational corporations and with decades of experience in the home improvements industry. If we don’t immediately know the answer to your question, rest assured, we know very well where to go to get the answer.
