Above and beyond.........

I contacted the GGF to obtain some advice regarding a complaint against one of their members. It transpired I was mistaken about the company being a GGF member but this did not prevent Samantha from going "above and beyond". She provided me with clarification on who I should be contacting and recommendations on how to proceed with my issue.
An exceptional experience all round.

Fantastic service from GGF

Our case handler was Dave at GGF who was fantastic. We had many issues with the window company who initially disregarded our complaints regarding their window install and finish. After going through their complaint procedure for many months and getting nowhere, I contacted GGF. Dave expedited my complaint and giving it some time for negotiation between the glaziers, my complaints were resolved and my install finally finished without having to go through small claims. Dave responded quickly when contacted and kept me informed at all stages. He also kept my case open until I was happy with the end result. I am extremely happy with the service I received, appreciate his hard work in getting this resolved and I am so glad there is this body to deal with and take away the stress of the situation.

Very helpful resolution of complicated issue with window supplier.

I was forced to turn to the Glazing and Glass Federation as an arbiter when I had an intractable dispute with a window supplier. The team at the GGF were courteous and responsive. They were able to negotiate between myself and a window supplier, and while it took a number of months to resolve, their intervention completely changed the behaviour of the window supplier. We have reached an amicable settlement, so as far as I'm concerned these guys have done a fantastic job in helping me with the situation, but would otherwise likely have gone to court and incurred significant costs.

First class service from GGF

I had an ongoing issue regarding a patio door the frame for the door was to big , causing the door to almost fall out of frame the company tried to rectify by modifying frame but it was rubbish and door did not operate or lock correctly I spent ages writing letters and compalining to company who supplied and fitted door but felt i was just being fobbed off , and it was taking months for company each time to come out and carry out unsatisfactory repairs . Eventualy I went to GGF and filled in their complaint form , next day company contacted me and arranged for an engineer to come out , the company agreed frame and door were fualty and repalced as soon as possible , all thru procedure GGF kept contact with me to ensure issue was in hand and being resolved I can not thank them enough in helping me resolve an issue that i was getting nowhere with until they got involved. The service I got from GGF was first class so glad I contacted them .

Cannot recommend

Cannot recommend. GGF FULLY DESERVE THE MANY ONE STAR REVIEWS. They do not enhance the credentials of traders, showing the trade in a bad light. They waste consumers and traders time by being slow and resistant to investigating complaints, restricting them to a narrow range and dismissing breaches of their code of conduct - taking away the opportunity that traders have to improve.

A Federation with prompt, professional and successful service

I never realised there was an organisation such as the Glass and Glazing Federation who would handle complaints until I had been struggling to get the company who fitted new front and garage doors to my home to reply to my complaints. GGF sent me a well constructed form to complete after waiting 8 weeks for responses from the company which never came. When they did respond events happened swiftly and it was very reassuring to know that GGF was 'on the case' and getting responses and results very quickly.

GGF is unreachable - No Response to ADR Complaint

I filed an ADR complaint on 20 November and got an auto-reply saying I’d hear back within 1 business day. Nearly 2 weeks later, nothing. Emails are ignored, and when I call, the line says “user unavailable” and hangs up. Completely unreachable. This service is basically nonexistent.

Dear MM apologies for this tardy response but we have had a problem with access to this site which we have corrected now . I have used your username MM with our ADR requests & i believe you sent in 2 ADR requests however your initial complaint was for financial compensation which we are unable to assist in , however ADR can only commence if both parties are in agreement to go down this route . If you feel this response is not accurate then please email membership@GGF.org.uk & put in subject Trustpilot MM & we will be happy to review your enquiry again but our rules are quite clear on Financial & compensation matters.

Having experienced issues with Anglian Home Improvements, one of the members of GGF we escalated our complaint to The Glass and Glazing Federation in line with the complaints policy.
We have had no response to date despite chasing twice.
What is the point of a company promoting best practice. setting industry standards and influencing legislation when they don't uphold their own standards. Absolutely useless.

Very prompt

Very prompt. I have made a complaint to glass and glazing federation on a Monday about a company and the company completed their complaint issue on the same week , which I was waiting to get it done for 6 months from their installation.
EXCELLENT SERVICE OF GGF.

Superb advice

Superb advice about my issues. Even though they had gone bust I was told to check my documents for the insurance. But before that Layton phoned me & talked me through filing a form with my credit company.

Unreasonable and unreachable

My experience with the GGF mediation process was one sided. They decided against me based on a report produced by their member which they refused to even show me. This was after many months of chasing them.

We apologise for our tardy response , we can see that a couple of reports was raised & paid for by your contractor /our member which means this is their property & we are unable to share these documents with any other 3rd party, however we was given access to these reports to review by our member which helped us base our decision to close this complaint . We can only suggest you ask your contractor for a copy of these same reports .

Contacted ggf regarding my issues with evander windows and doors.
They couldn’t look at my claim as they wanted a contract which I didn’t get.
All the work was private work I showed them bank statements where I had paid evander.
What a waste of time and organisation.

We apologise for this tardy response to your review however looking at this historic case we can confirm we was unable to assist you because the contract was not with our member even though a member of ours was sub contracted to carry out some of this work. This means your enquiry should be directed to the business you signed the contract with. In this case this business you used is not a member or ever has been a member of our Trade organisation. Again we apologise we was unable to assist you on this occasion.
