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 51 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Highlights
“We have just had all our windows, doors and porch replaced by this 5* family firm. From start to finish the service provided was excellent and the fitters went out of their way to finish the job to a very high standard meaning no redecoration is needed by us post installation. We liked that their fitters have been with the company for a long time and it showed in their attention to detail. The price was very reasonable too with no hard sell or "special offers"! All in all we would recommend this company without hesitation.”
“We found W J Richardson Glazing Ltd to be really helpful from quote to fitting. They were always very helpful and professional and honest. The work was started and finished on time and their workmen were friendly but professional. Very good workers and made good and cleared away after themselves. The made the process of having new windows fitted a very easy one and i would thoroughly recommend their services.”
“We initially had all our back windows and kitchen door replaced by W J Richardson about four years ago, after visiting the shop to view the products. We were a bit apprehensive as in the past we have had some bad experiences with double glazing installations, but after talking to the family run owners we went ahead and could not have been more pleased. In fact, we then had the front door and windows replaced. Again the quality of the install was amazing where the fitters took time and effort to ensure it was a first class finish. The reason I am writing a review now is we had a slight issue with the backdoor handle and after all this time and to our surprise we had an immediate response and visit to rectify the issue. In these times it goes to show there are still companies like WJ Richardson where pride in the level of customer service provided still matters. Would not hesitate to use the company again, or recommend to others considering replacement doors or windows.”

We are so pleased with our new front door and surrounding windows that we feel compelled to recommend this family run company. We received excellent help and advice in the showroom without any pressure. On installation day Reece, Cory and Stuart couldnt have been more polite, helpful and respectful of our home. The quality of the door and windows is excellent and are fitted to a high standard. The attention to making good around the new installation is excellent! We highly recommend WJ Richardson Glazing Ltd and their staff!

Picked from the Which? Trusted Traders list, WJ Richardson Glazing is one of six companies I asked to quote for replacement windows. Their friendly and helpful approach was clear from the start when measuring my windows and explaining how a problem window could be successfully replaced despite a pipe passing through the frame (some companies felt this was going to be difficult). My many questions were answered clearly and patiently when I visited their showroom shop to look at demonstration windows. Their quotation was the clearest I received, with each window priced individually, and a total price very similar to the other companies. There was no sales pressure at any stage and it was a pleasure to deal with WJ Richardson Glazing. Just a few weeks after ordering my new windows were installed with the team taking great care to achieve a very neat finish inside and out despite having to work in bitterly cold weather. All went well, including the difficult parts of the job, and I'm very pleased and impressed with the finished result. I'm very happy to recommend WJ Richardson Glazing.

Excellent customer service. Very courteous, helpful staff. The work undertaken (replacement windows and door) was completed to a very high standard. Replaced a broken tile when the old window was taken out - resolved satisfactorily. Aftercare was offered should the need arise. Use this firm with confidence.

The replacement conservatory was installed in a professional manner by a very experienced team who took a great deal of pride in a job well done. The work was very neat and resulted in a product that we are very pleased with and was done at a competitive price. The team were very helpful and nothing was to much trouble. We have since had the three windows in the front of the house replaced and again we could not fault the workmanship. When the team were giving the windows a final clean they noticed that one window had a blemish inside the sealed unit. This was reported back to the office and a replacement window is on its way. A good aftercare service Once again a very professional job carried out by friendly installers. Two great jobs, thank you.

Windows.
David4.0 / 5 ·
In my opinion, this company’s windows are ‘not fit for purpose’ (sub-standard) under the requirements of consumer law (the sale of goods and services Act/s). This company refuses to fulfil its obligation to ‘repair or replace’ the faulty windows they supplied and installed as required by consumer law. (the sale of goods and services Act/s). By its own admission this double-glazing company refuses to cover or include glass under its warranty/guarantee. At the point of sale this company claims to provide within the price a 10 years insurance backed warranty/guarantee but fails to provide one. This company has refused to honour the obligations of its ‘own’ 5 years warranty/guarantee when called to do so. Contrary to their responsibilities under consumer law this company tries to back off any warranty claims to its manufacturers. Contrary to their responsibilities under consumer law this company claims they cannot fulfil their warranty obligations when a manufacturer goes out of business. Unknown to its customers this company installs toughened glass where it is not necessary and by doing so increases the price by approx. 25%.

Good communication. Excellent customer service, no fuss. Job done really well. We had building works going on too that impacted on the windows, this caused complications. WJRG made this easy to deal with.
