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." > Source: Anonymous (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "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." > Source: Customer (5.0, via Checkatrade) > "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.

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. - Replacement windows and external doors must be signed off as meeting building regulations. Use an installer registered with FENSA or CERTASS so they self-certify the work and give you the certificate you'll need when you sell. - Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile. ## Contact - Phone: 07307 205645 - Website: https://www.theshinfieldwindowcompany.co.uk/ --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/the-shinfield-window-company-ltd Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, and reviews are cross-checked across 2 review sources.
