I definitely recommend Archer Windows. Our house was originally double glazed in the 1980s. Since then we have chosen to gradually replace the patio doors and most of the windows with more modern looking and efficient new ones. Archer Windows have supplied and fitted all these in five separate visits over the last few years. They have been happy to supply and fit just one window when needed. Their workmanship has been superb and their care and cleanliness has been exemplary. Nice friendly guys too.

Official checkOn the public register

Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 26 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.
