I would warn all potential buyers of home improvements to stay clear of this company. As a now ex manager and reading comments on this site it is truly amazing that with there dodgy dealing how they continue to trade. Surely trading standards will be monitoring them? Seems they are not......
I have worked here for sometime, and know this place and the industry inside out.
in short, potentially excellent product! INSANE sales reps with absolutely ridiculously expensive prices and the worst of worst ways of dealing with potential customers.... misleading lying abusive threatening heartless and pray on the old and vulnerable,
most of the folk at weatherseal are genuine, honest lovely people. doesn't stop me wanting to warn every single person in the UK off using any of there products or services and also any of their sister companies,
the man in the driving seat has no idea about running a successful business this is evident in the amount of times weatherseal has closed its doors and re-opened overnight as another company trading as weatherseal..... clean break we say, new start.... lets start a fresh do it the right was.... lasts for 4-6 weeks then the greed kicks in again and we're back to the same old borderline criminal carry-on.
like I say fantastic product no doubt, but you can buy better for much much much less. I did!!!!
ignore this at your own peril! I have made, surveyed managed fitted and sold double glazing its in my blood and my bones I really do know the industry inside out.
please please please steer clear for your own sanity, stress levels and bank balance.
hope I've helped.
soon to be ex-employee (my choice and for the better)
As i have already said i am very angry regarding with the lack of respect the general public have for weatherseal. This company has been running for a very long time, so people in the U.K support Weatherseal. Perhaps there is a minority that aren't happy with the work thats been done for them but I'm quite sure that if handled properly the company will gladly put things to right. On the grander scale of things the majority are more than happy with the company.
Work just finnished on my windows and job well done.Called three weeks ago when I seen the tv ad on.Spoke to a man named sean who talked me through the promotion.After asking all the questions I had thought it sounded too good to be true bit still decided to get a representative round for a quote.Kenny came round the same day and showed us all the samples took measurements.I thought one hour into the presentation it was long enough so asked for a price.Kenny was happy to get the calculator out and price up there and then and left us with the quote no pressure at all.Got two other companies round who tried and tried to make us sign and stayed for over two hours pushing for a sale.Phoned weatherseal again told Kenny we wanted to go ahead with his quote on Monday fully fitted by the following Tuesday (12 windows 2 doors).Would recommend to friends and family.
My overall expirience with Weatherseal has been poor, the installation of my windows was adequate but they did fit a couple of damaged items that they had to replace (a facia and a sill). After the installation was done I started to receive phone calls from them, lots of them, 17 in the space of 5 days asking if I wanted to replace my doors. Despite telling them I didn't they continued calling, the only thing that has stopped them was as soon as they say Weatherseal I just hung up. It is worth mention the price of the windows, I had all mine changed, their starting price was £12000 and I actually payed £4000, how can a company drop £8000? More interestingly I recomended a friend to them and was present when the salesman came around to do his pitch, my friend only had 4 windows to get changed, less than half I had changed, and they wanted to charge him £4000 (started at £10000), imagine the salesmans face when I told him what I had been charged, he finally came in with a figure of £2400. On last thing, they say they will only be an hour, they usualy take at least two, do as I do with any salesman, give them a time limit, everyone gets 45 minutes, if it can't be sorted out in that time, send them away, put the pressure back on the salesman.
done all my windows and doors with this company a few years back no problems wot so ever the lady came out measured up went through styles ect left me with a price no pressure.after looking around and getting quotes weatherseal was the best so i went ahead with the work am also in the process of having a conservatory bring on the summer thanks weatherseal
Their fast track service is brilliant. Beats the waiting around for ages while they sort things out. It actual;y worked out cheaper for us because we ordered online and got the extra 5% off our order nad we already had something like 40% off our conservatory to start with. We managed to get the price down a bit when the sales rep came round to talk about what we wanted too. There was a tiny problem with one of the seals on the windows after they left but I when I spoke to customer services they sent someone out a couple of days later to sort it out. I was impressed by their service.
I just signed up to weatherseals Fast Track service online and got a call from one of their reps atraight away.
I’m getting half off my windows and doors with an extra 5% coz I signed up online. I really don’t thing that many places can beat a price like that. Plus they are coming out next week to do the job – really quick. Im really happy with this price and service so far.
I will post again when the job has been done and it will hopefully be as good as everything so far!
i have used this company for all the work i have needed over the last few years and can honestly say no problems wot so ever the product and service is great wouldnt go anywhere else
Cannot believe some off the comments on this website!!!!!
Weatherseal were recommended to me by my mother who had her double glazing done, the job Weatherseal did for my parents was fantastic, so much so i had my windows front and back done, what a fantastic job, i cannot fault what they did for me i had other quotes but Weatherseal were by far the best quality.
Boy am i glad i chose Weatherseal.
I moved into my house 3 months ago, i needed new windows and doors. I recieved a call at tea time from a lovely young lady from weatherseal advising me that i could have a quotation with discounts. That I did, and im so glad I did, my lovely windows, two doors and conservatory look fantastic....im the envy of the street. Thankyou weatherseal, you`ve done a great job, im sure all my neighbours will be calling you to have the same.
Had a phone cold call and as I wanted a quote for fascias and guttering, arranged an appointment. The salesman came across initially as being just a useless salesperson, but quickly it became clear I was going to get a hard pressure sell. I said within 10 minutes of him arriving that I wasn't going to place an order on the day. After an hour of tedious irrelevant stuff and a very unprofessional measuring, he gave me a price. As a quote was all I wanted and it was becoming clear I was now going to be pressured into taking the great 'discounts' available if I ordered today I repeated that I wouldn't be buying anything on the day as I always get other quotes to compare. I had the repeat his over a dozen times to no effect. I then politely asked him to leave. It took a further 15 minutes at least by which time I had raised my voice and was shouting for him to get out of my house pointing at my open front door. He still refused to get off the sofa until he had phoned his manager. Eventually he finally left. I would hate to think of the effect this kind of sales technique would have on an elderly couple who were not as able to demand him to leave as I was. Appalling. Don't ever accept an appointment from anyone to do with this company as the sales pitch is a con from the start and also utterly immoral. Disgusted.
i recently moved in to a house the front was d/g but the back was s/g u could really feel the drafts from the back so i had a few quotes.a friend reccommended weatherseal,so a guy came out measured the windows went through designs ect then came the price compared with the others i had it was fab so i signed up.the work did take a week longer then expected but better than a shabby 5 min job couldnt be happier with them am thinking doors next year
A friend reccomended weatherseal, i was a bit sceptical as i had heard bad things, but i had them round, the salesman was excellent, the price was a bit more than some of my other quotes but the quality was excellent. The fitters did an excellent job and i would reccomend weatherseal to all my family and friends.
We wanted to put some good feedback on this site for weatherseal. We live in a bit of a dodgy area and one day had our door broken at a party. Our landlord is really nice and asked us what colour we wanted our door to be and we wanted something bright. The local companies didn’t have much choice but weatherseal had a pink one so we got that. It’s ace!
im shoked at the comments on this site i was recommended to weatherseal by my friend,after seeing how they transformed my friends house i couldnt resist but to go with them i must have shoped around with numerous companies,weatherseal was the one for me the product was of the best quality and price,the sales man may have taken a little long but was so helpfull he knew the ins and outs of the product,security,profile and so on,so when i decided to place an order i did so in full confidence.the instalation team were fantastic they lay dust sheets clean tidy perfected the job and did so very quikly and even offered tp take there shoes off while in my house.since ive had the work done i couldnt be happier my house looks amazing and i will be going back to them for a porch this summer and i have already recommended 3 of my friends to them i think every one who is concidering any home improvments should take a look for themselves.
I own a couple of properties and have used Weatherseal for all of them to install both windows and doors. I wouldn’t use local merchants personally as there is no guarantee that the work is finished to any kind of standard and I know that I am covered by the 10 year plan if any repair work needs doing.
I’ve always found Weatherseal to be very professional and the work to be of an excellent, standard. They are great for me personally as I wont necessarily be in the property when the job is being done and I can trust them to complete the work on time and not to leave a mess.
*Anyone else in a similar situation to myself – Weatherseal come highly recommended!*
a few months back i decided to upgrade my conservatory had a few quotes but still wasnt happy,a friend of mine reccomended weatherseal she had alot of work done with them and was very happy,so a chap came round measured up went on a bit about the company ect.i went ahead with the work and the new conservatory is great did have a slight problem with the handle on the door getting stuck ,they came out after a few days and was fixed without charge.
WELL WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT WEATHERSEAL WASNT TO SURE ABOUT LETTING THESE GUYS INTO MY HOUSE BECAUSE AFTER I MADE THE APPOINTMENT I GOOGLED THEM WHEN THE GUY CAME OUT HE WAS SO NICE DIDNT MESS ABOUT GOT TO MEASURE MY WINDOW THEN WENT THRU HIS SPEEL DID TAKE A WE WHILE TO CONVINCE ME TO GO AHEAD BUT AM SOO GLAD I DID GOT 10 NEW WINDOWS AND FRENCH DOORS AMAZING!! THEY HAVE GIVEN MY HOUSE A NEW LEASE OF LIFE MY ADVICE IS DONT LISTEN TO ANYONE GO AND SEE FOR YOURSELF MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND THATS WOT I DID .
AFTER THE SUMMER AM GOING TO GET THEM BACK OUT FOR A PRICE FOR MY KITCHEN
a few years back i decided i needed my windows replaced i had a few quotes but wanted the best price i recieved a call from weatherseal the guy came out showed me what products they offer and the discounts they gave me i couldnt believe it i signed up a week later couldnt be happier with them,i would certainly use weatherseal again in the future for any work i need.
i had weatherseal round last year after receiving a 'feature home' call. I was considering replacing my windows in the next couple of years so had them round. The rep who came to see me couldn't be more helpful, he went through the pro's and con's of replacing my windows and came up with what I thought was a reasonable price for a good product. After signing up I heard about this site from a friend. After reading the comments i was slightly concerned to say the least. How wrong I was. I love my new windows, the instalation was quick, the product fantastic and I am know in the process of talking my husband into buying a new conservatory from them. I just wish as many people who had good experiences wrote on sites like these rather than all you scaremongers!
wow cant believe these comments last summer i decided to have a conservatory, i got a call from weatherseal offering huge discounts on their products,i arranged an appointment a chap came round he designed a beautiful conservatory,the price was great so i signed up straight away. the work carried out is outstanding iam planning to do my windows and doors next and would recommend weatherseal:)

The comments left by 1966 I would be warey of as on the Space Kitchens page he has said he works for them.
I'm sure someone who works for the group would not leave a negative comment.
I don't wish to affect the blagger rating for Weatherseal therefore no rating, however please bear this in mind.
