“We needed a new front door for our Victorian House which had a relatively small door opening, and very tight inner arrangment . We had a number of different door companies come to give us a quote for a composite door, all of which said it was not possible. Ricki took a carefull survey and was confident it would be possible. We now have a great looking front door! We are very happy to recommend Ricki, Chole and the team.”

Highlights
“I would not hesitate in recommending Rickie and The Shinfield Window Company! We had a new front door fitted and are delighted with the end result! Price was perfect, we felt comfortable with the lads in our house as they were so polite and courteous. I wish more trades people were more like this.”
“The reviews were the reason I opted to go with Shinfield Windows and when we met Rickie, we knew we’d made the right choice. His work ethic is second to none, always on time and will keep you updated every step of the way. The work itself has been exceptional and they have always gone the extra mile to clean up afterwards and make sure the we were happy. Rickie’s colleague has been an asset to him and worked so hard despite the hottest weather ever! Couldn’t rate them any higher… brilliant 🤩”

Verified by CheckatradeNew Front Door
From start to finish both Rickie and Chloe were so easy to deal with. Rickie arrived promptly at the arranged time, we discussed what we were looking for and he gave lots of advice. No hard sell at all. A quote was promptly provided within a day or two, together with some pictures of what the door would look like installed. Installation was quick, neat and tidy by Rickie and his team. No mess left. And they even sorted out a couple of our existing window hinges. Would definitely use again and highly recommended
They were very helpful and delivered as promised.
Both Chloe and Rickie were a delight to deal with, from first contact until the work was completed. We were looking for a new front door and after discussing what we were looking for, Rickie gave advice on anything we were unsure of. Installation of the door was quick, neat and tidy by Rickie and his team. And they even sorted out a couple of our existing window hinges. Would we use again - Definitely Would we recommend - Definitely
I have used this company twice now to install my windows. Ricki treats the job as if he is installing the windows in his own home. Ricki is down to earth and honest and his quotes are extremely fair and good value. It was great to do business with a man who not only does a fantastic job but oozes integrity, and goes that extra mile for his customers. I can highly recommend this company!
Great, professional, friendly and super efficient service from start to finish. Thank you Rickie and your team, my windows look amazing.

Makes a refreshing change to deal with someone who is always polite, communicates well, carries out excellent workmanship, and is pleasant and friendly to chat to. I would 100% recommend Ricky and his company. We will not hesitate to recommend personally to friends and family and he will definitely be our first choice when we need this type of work again. Thank you so much.

We recently had several doors and windows replaced and installed by Rickie and his team from The Shinfield Window Company and the experience was excellent from start to finish. They replaced existing French doors, kitchen windows and installed 5 metres of French doors and glazing in a new kitchen/ dining area. They all look amazing.

From the quotation stage, they were incredibly helpful with advice, making the decision process much easier. Even after the installation, they continued to offer valuable support. Their team was tidy, organised, and clearly took pride in their work, leaving everything spotless once the job was completed. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend The Shinfield Window Company to anyone looking for quality workmanship, great value and outstanding service.

Excellent service. Three large upstairs windows, as well as major proportion of our fascias and guttering, replaced in two days exactly as quoted, including organising the scaffolding supplier. A good visit to look at the job, and a prompt, accurate and clear quote supplied by email as promised. The team turned up on time when they said they would do and did the work exactly as quoted, with professionalism, courtesy and respect, and removed all materials and rubbish. We're very happy with their work and would happily recommend them to others.
Chloe, Rickie and the boys at Shinfield Windows were a pleasure to deal with. Great communication, prompt and reliable. My bi-fold doors are everything I'd hoped for.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Be wary of high-pressure 'today-only' discounts and a salesperson who won't leave. A reputable window or door firm gives you a written, itemised quote you can take away and compare against others.
Never pay the full price up front; a modest deposit with the balance on completion is normal. Ask what deposit protection or insurance-backed guarantee you get if the firm stops trading before fitting.
Get the specification in writing (frame material, the glazing units and their energy rating, and any trickle vents) so you can check you got what you paid for.
