“Excellent service received from your company” http://www.foldingslidingdoors.com/news/entry/excellent-service-received-from-your-company http://www.foldingslidingdoors.com/news/entry/excellent-service-received-from-your-company Dear Subhas,

We recently purchased folding doors from your company which arrived on time and fitted yesterday 30th November.

I would like to complement you on your service and the quality of your staff. The senior was called Chris and he and his able assistant had come to us from Kent. They telephoned to advise us they were on their way and arrived in good time. We found them courteous and very able and we are delighted with the outcome.

We will certainly recommend your company to others and could we ask you to thank Chris and his assistant for really good job done.

Yours faithfully,

Wendy

Kenley, Surrey

“Service option hugely appreciated” http://www.foldingslidingdoors.com/news/entry/service-option-hugely-appreciated http://www.foldingslidingdoors.com/news/entry/service-option-hugely-appreciated I received superb service from the Folding Sliding Door company today and feel credit should be given when it's due.

Some background: we bought our house three years ago with a conservatory and sliding door set that was put in by the previous owner. The doors have never quite worked as we would have liked and we've been meaning to sort them out for ages. Our builders had a look at them and suggested contacting the original supplier and I'm so glad we did.

From the first phone call, the company were polite, helpful and keen to help despite the fact we didn't make the original purchase. Their suggested service option was exactly what we needed and amazingly they had people round the same day to start the job. As with all the staff we encountered, they were friendly, polite and talked us through what was wrong and what they needed to do. We now have most of our doors working perfectly and the final set will be when they return with a part.

I knew nothing of this company a couple of days ago but based on my experience would happily recommend them and look forward to proper working doors over the next few summers.

The fitters get all the good jobs! Our recent installation took a team to Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise in the French Alps. Hardwood timber doors were installed into a ski chalet, opening up the room on to some fantastic views. Nice work if you can get it.
