Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Great service and quality at reasonable cost. I would certainly recommend this company to my friends.
Im very pleased with the quality and the way the new windows look. The installers were professional hard working men. I would highly recommend this company and installers.
I purchased 7 new energy efficient windows from the Window & Door Specialist. I selected them because they did a good job the first time I used them and because their pricing is very competitive. They did a quality installation, completed the job in the time promised and the installers were professional and polite and cleaned up before leaving. Based on my experience, I would certainly recommend their services.
For years we have opened our front door during the winter only to be greeted by gusts of cold air! I have also for years had the front door cluttered with shoes and boots.......The Window and Door Specialist have now added additional space and as mentioned warmth to our home. The job was professionally completed and on schedule!! Very pleased.
This is the third time I have had my windows replaced by W&D Specialists. I have done all the windows in my house in stages. Now they are all done. Each time has been an amazing experience from the measurements, to the selection and then finally to the installation. Professional, courteous, fair in pricing and on time with delivery expectations. You can tell a good contractor by the way they leave the space after finishing. Both outside and inside were left in a clean manner and we had the least amount of disturbance during all their installations.

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
Be wary of high-pressure 'today-only' discounts and a salesperson who won't leave. A reputable window or door firm gives you a written, itemized 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.
