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.

Dovecote have now replaced all the windows and doors in our home including 2 sets of bifolds for a new extension. They were very helpful with the initial design, visited site during construction to ensure delivery fitted with the project plan and did a fantastic job on installation. The team kept in touch with regard to delivery and worked safety in line with all the current and ever changing guidance! Really cannot recommend this business enough. They take real pride in their work and quality of finish. Fantastic service and a pleasure to work with.

When we ordered the windows and front door they did everything we wanted and needed for our autistic sons window. On the day they came and installed the windows and door they was no mess and they had done minimal damage. The quality is amazing we now can’t hear the traffic out the back of our house. The front door we have had some lovely comments on it. Thank you Will, Andrew and Diane.

Andrew is incredibly reliable, works to a really high standard and is ALWAYS happy to help his customers by going above and beyond. Andy fitted new windows for us and has also been over for odd jobs, all without hesitation. I wouldn’t go anywhere else in the future; I know I can firmly recommend him to anyone and they won’t be disappointed!

Absolutely thrilled with the new windows and doors at the back of my property; warped dark brown wooden frames with leaded glass now replaced with smart modern UPVC sash casement windows in Anthracite Grey which compliment the house beautifully, and let in so much more light. Hopefully save a bit on heat loss too. The service received from Will and Andy was fab – I never had to wait for a reply to my questions and there was next to no time between the initial enquiry, the quotation visit and the fitting date. Will is experienced and knowledgeable and it was easy to talk through the options so I could make the right choices. The fitting was completed efficiently by Will and Andy with minimal upheaval and no mess left behind. A couple of minor snags were swiftly rectified. I definitely recommend Dovecote: trustworthy, reliable and professional.

We are completely happy with our finished conservatory which was project managed by Dovecote Windows & Doors. Will and Andy were engaging from the start, providing suggestions and alternatives to improve our initial design. At every stage Will communicated clearly to inform us when each element of construction would be carried out and was always happy to talk through any issues (our build took place during lockdown which impacted the supply of materials). All tradesmen were polite and took care of our property and we have no hesitation in recommending Dovecote for similar projects.
