Highlights

"The work comprised the removal of some existing doors and the installation of two sets of aluminium bifold doors. I accepted what I considered a very competitive quote. The work was commenced on the agreed date and completed within two days. The two fitters were competent, tidy and friendly. I was worried that the removal of the old doors might cause significant damage but, with their care, there was no damage whatsoever. They did an amazing job which has improved my house enormously. I would definitely use that again for similar work and recommend them strongly."

"1st Independent windows replaced all our original sash windows with double-glazed pvc sashes as well as installing sliding and bifold doors. Everything was completed to a high standard and all the installers were excellent. Highly recommend this firm."

"I have used 1st Independent several times over the years. Their work has always been carried out efficiently, promptly and all their workers are very pleasant and helpful. I had the windows in my porch replaced, back bedroom window replaced and patio doors onto my garden. Most recently a window/door in upstairs bedroom. I received comments from a friend's retired builder husband who said what a good job had been done. Blown windows were replaced down by a previous installer about 25 years ago. Cannot recommend this company highly enough."

I have used 1stindependent a number of times over the years and they have always delivered for me. Installation was very quick and seamless and they did their best to minimize disruption. Quote process was very good and we went through a number of options before finding the right one. And finally everything was ordered, delivered and installed exactly as they said. Would highly recommend.

The works comprised the removal of existing doors and the installation of two sets of aluminium bifold doors. After a slightly frustrating leading period for fabrication, which was unavoidable, I received a delivery date which was adhered to. I was worried that the removal of the existing doors might cause substantial damage but that was completely avoided. The work was carried out in an exemplary manner by two competent and very pleasant fitters. I am really pleased with the final product and finish. It has made a big improvement to my house at what I considered to be a competitive price. I would definitely use them again.

I had a door/window put in a bedroom, and the last work done on 5th September 2025 was replacing blown windows that had been put in by a previous supplier 25 years previously. A builder who viewed the window/door work commented on how well it had been done. The two chaps who completed this work were very pleasant and completed the job promptly. I have used 1st Independent over recent years. A new porch was put on to replace the existing glass, a bedroom window was replaced, and patio doors were installed in my garden. All these jobs are superb, and no problems were encountered. I cannot rate or recommend this company highly enough.

The 1st Independent team were superb in terms of advice and workmanship. They were friendly, understanding and patient as this installation was for my 73 year old Aunt. The budget for the 4 sets of high quality double glazed windows was very affordable. Their tradesman (Rob) kept to the schedule of this two day piece of work and swept up after the work was finished and also took away the old windows which were replaced. Overall a really good family owned business. We have already shared to some friends their details for future possible work.
