We have used Hytek, a local family run business, for 20 odd years for all our double glazing window and door fitting and once again very pleased with the quality of product and speed and efficiency of fitting by very friendly fitters. No pressurised sales technique at the outset. Quotes always realistic unlike some other companies where prolonged haggling is necessary. After sales service exemplary. No hesitation in recommending Hytek.

Darren and Gary from HY-TEK WDC installed a front door with side glass units, an internal door and replaced blown double glazed units. From start to finish their work was excellent. We were kept updated on installation dates, even through the current supply problems due to the pandemic. Their work ethic was second to none, being on time, fast, tidy and of high quality. We were very impressed by their clear explanation on how to operate the locking system, and ongoing maintenance. We would certainly use this company again.

We are very pleased with the 2 doors and windows that were provided and fitted by Hytek in October 2020. These are high-quality products and we were kept fully informed throughout the process from discussing our needs; quotes; ordering and fitting. Darren and Gary were very professional and polite whilst completing the fitting and tidying up. It is also worth noting that the after-sales customer service is second to none! I called Hytek as the stable door had started sticking and Darren and Gary came out to check and adjust it straight away. Thank you for a superb service! I can highly recommend Hytek if you need replacement doors, windows or conservatories.

everything was great from the first home visit for estimate, placing the order, and rapid time to completion. The fitter was so experienced and competent I was completely surprised as to how quickly the job was completed. He was also very friendly and helpful. All in all a great company to do business with. Thank you.

All the pitfalls of choosing a Double Glazing Company disappear with the help of Which. Prefering a small or family owned business to a large company my choice of Hytek-WDC right from the beginning did not disappoint. Michael their sales representative was efficient in measuring the 4 windows that were needed for now and it only took approx 6 weeks from that point to complete the necessary checks to installation. Darren who now owns the Company and has a very active part in installing their product was keen to get started so was very punctual, very pleasant and worked hard towards an excellent outcome on schedule. A meticulous worker not only on the installation but on his approach to covering everything in the room with sheets and cleaning up afterwards as if he had never been leaving a very professional and lovely job done. There is still more to do later in the year so will certainly have them back. Thank you Which.

We needed our conservatory roof replacing, looked at a solid roof but decided it was too expensive, so chose a glass roof instead. I would like to thank Michael the sales rep who was recommended to us by a friend, who went that extra mile to get some samples of the coloured glass for us to choose from. The team arrived nice and early on the day and introduced themselves to us, Darren and Stewart. The job was forecasted to last two to three days, but they got stuck into the job and by lunchtime, the old roof had been removed they then set about installing the new frame, as the job was going so well they decided to continue working late to get the glass panels installed. On day two they arrived to complete the finishing touches. While here they did a couple of minor alterations to the door and windows which needed adjustment for us. We are extremely pleased with our new roof and with the quality of the materials and the professional standard of the work carried out by Darren and Stewart. I will be calling them back in the near future to replace a couple of lower window panels and change all the handles for me. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs any double glazing work done.
