Disgraceful additional charges

Mortice for loft hatch rounded out so needed new one.

£10 no problem all good very helpful.

The robbing you know what's charged £12 for carriage and then a further £12 for shipping for a tiny part.

And I have to get it shipped to a relative as they don't post to Northern Ireland. So will have to pay further postage on top.

Disgraceful.

Hi Andrew, I'm sorry to hear you feel like this! However, we do not charge £12 for carriage and £12 for shipping, so if that did happen, you would need to contact us so we can process a refund for you, as the carriage charge should be £11.99. That is correct that we don't ship to Northern Ireland, as that is FAKRO Ireland's territory operated via Tradecraft.

Terrible loft hatch design

Terrible design of a loft hatch. Why would your purposefully design a hatch to not sit flush with your ceiling and have to be trimmed up by architrave? People put architrave around things to cover up messy finishes, designing something that way blows my mind. There are other loft hatch manufacturers out there, use them instead.

Hi Stuart, we're sorry that you are not happy with our product. Due to construction tolerances, manufacturers must ensure that the ladders are slightly smaller than the opening to avoid situations where the ladder cannot be fitted because the opening is not perfectly rectangular and lacks installation clearance.

Therefore, each model of our loft ladders has a slightly smaller actual size compared to its nominal (commercial) size.
After installation, a gap remains around the perimeter (filled with thermal insulation material), which is then covered using finishing trims.

The ladder hatch is intentionally lowered to align with the level of the finishing trims”

So to summarise, the reason the hatch sits lower is in case the framework in the ceiling has not been or is unable to be fitted square, the ladder would still be usable.

Superb assistance…

Despite delays and lack of information on my side, Abigail managed to liaise with other members of the wider team and found me a great solution. Brilliant service and assistance.

The great spare parts hunt

After spending a couple of weeks scouring the internet for some spare parts for an older window I finally relented and contacted their customer service dept.

A couple of days and a couple of email exchanges later their customer service team located the necessary parts and packed them all in an online shopping cart to order.

Outstanding service and very impressed

FANTASTIC PRODUCT AND SERVICE !

FANTASTIC SERVICE !!

I purchased 5 Fakro windows over 15 years ago and they have been amazing and reliable. When ORIGINALLY installing my fitter cracked a small clip which eventually failed (after 15 years). Abigail gave me time and attention helping to identify the part and raised an order for me even though it is only a small low value item. I would definitely recommend over other roof window companies. Thank you Fakro and also a big appreciation to Abigail.

Extremely helpful product support

Exemplary aftersales service.

Ordered a blackout blind for a roof window, which arrived badly damaged. The manner in which a replacement was organised was exemplary, arriving the next working day.

Awful

Awful. Given wrong advice. Bought wrong item. They charged me £100’s to restock and for me to return the item.

Tread very carefully,
Don’t trust what they say when you call them. Double and triple check you have the right product.

We’re very impressed with the build quality and finish of our two Fakro skylights. Even the integral blinds and the extendable poles are really well made. We’ll be buying direct from Fakro again too, because the delivery was fast and efficient. Thank you Fakro for doing everything so well in a world of cheap and poorly made goods

Quality Loft Ladder

Rennovating an Edwardian period loft space, and wanted to improve the access.

Decided on a Fakro LWL Extra due to the 3m celing heights upstairs. Installation was easy, the product is excellent quality, robust and I have no complaints whatso ever.

Fitted it myself, the only improvement I could suggest, apart from improving the price ;), is fully annotated installation instructions. They were adequate.

Returns policy? Absolute DISGRACE

I ordered slightly the wrong product for the builders for my roof flashings (they all look the same for goodness sake) and mistakes happen. I have to pay for these items to be returned which is costing me an absolute fortune due to the size of these things. There is no exchange policy... Absolute joke. Avoid.

Hi Joey, thank you for taking the time to leave this review. We are sorry you feel this way about our company. We do not offer an exchange policy on goods and our returns policy is outlined on the website. As you can see it does cost a decent amount to send and deliver these items so this is the best way at the moment we have found to handle our returns. I will report your concerns to the correct department and look to improve things in the future. Thanks again.
