Outstanding

May I ask you for a review on how we performed? – all very good except that it took a month to get the correct size of glass doors after the wrong sized ones turned up on initial installation – good job it wasn’t winter or might have been having a different conversation. I appreciate this was an error at the factory. In response to my initial query– Paul fitted a locking handle to the outside of the door on the second visit which helps. We just need to solve the air gaps when the door is not sealed.
How were we from initial contact (were we polite)? – Paul and Ricky were very helpful, polite and knowledgeable – please pass on my thanks to them both.
Arranging installation (were we on time and on schedule) – Both visits on time for 08:00
Were we clean and tidy? – yes
And finally are you pleased with our doors (would you Recommend us)? – Yes –  I’m very pleased so far – look great and of good quality, feel solid and safe. I’ll know better though after a few months of constant use from the family…….. In terms of the competition – you are slightly more expensive than a traditional tri fold door. We decided to use you as we were already converts to glass curtains. And we needed the flexibility in the way your doors split and open. I think the majority of people need convincing for some reason.
I have an outstanding query ref the sealing of the doors when the handle has not been turned. Paul is developing an idea to help me – I’d really appreciate it if Paul can come back to me as soon as he can. The glass curtains are in constant use all day and my family are not good at going through the doors and then turning the handle to seal….. – Paul knows the details. In terms of making a difference – these glass curtains have replaced some single glazed glass curtains – and there is already a difference in the evening if the temp drops outside and we have them shut. Family getting used to them . Cat is freaked out by them, nobody has run into them yet….

From the time of our first visit to your premises we felt comfortable with your product. It was a product just as we had hoped and envisaged for our new kitchen extension – double glazed, frameless glass doors to cover a 7.310 meter opening ! Until then we were not sure if it was possible.
When the 9 doors were first installed the overall affect was more than we could have hoped for, just exactly what we wanted – on time – in budget and wonderful to look at. After a technical hitch with the locking system which was rectified in a short time , the project was completed to our satisfaction.
All your team obviously take a pride in their work, which is much appreciated. A brilliant product that we wish you good luck with in the future. A very satisfied customer. Thank you all.

With regards to feedback, the pre-sales advice and support from Adrian was excellent and we found it really valuable to visit the factory and see the demonstration doors.
Furthermore, the installers were very professional, on time, polite, tidy, hard working and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable operating the doors before they left. The only negative experience was the survey, feedback I shared with Adrian as we needed his involvement to resolve the matter. Although we had agreed a 3 door configuration (this was confirmed as within tolerance by the factory) the surveyor persistently tried to make us change to 4 doors and he even attempted to influence our builder to make us change which we found unacceptable. Additionally it appears the measurements taken were incorrect because the doors were manufactured 20mm too tall and we had to grind the brickwork to make the opening bigger which, along with phone calls and deliberations on site with our builder, meant an delay of over an hour before the install could begin.
Despite this negative aspect we are really happy with the doors and would to recommend them to any prospective customer as well as being included on your list of completed installations.

A strip of the furry trim at the top of the frame that the doors run on had come loose. On the one hand the sort of thing that one could have a go at fixing; on the other hand having witnessed the care and attention the FGC installation team do their work; I thought it best to leave it to them. Not an emergency, I contacted HQ FGC and asked that when a team were in the area could they give me 30min of their time. A fortnight later a team returning from Totnes spent 5min cutting a new trim in place, and a further 15min wiping down the frame, respraying the seals and the runners, and generally leaving the doors and the immediate area immaculate.
After sales service, first class.
