Lovely rooflights and although I wasn't aware they are manually opening this doesn't impact us too much. Our roofer seemed to be happy when installing them due to simplistic installation too.

Fakro blinds don’t fit window

Fakro blinds don’t fit window. Numerous messages back and forth. Going on three weeks now . Absolutely useless customer service. You can’t even get call back from engineer. It gets worse. They now want me to sign a form confirming I will pay engineer 300 pounds for a visit even though they know blind doesn’t fit

30days return policy! 😱😱😱

There will be a 35% admin fee on the credit and also, a £35 repacking fee for each item if the products require repacking.

Hi Rychard, sorry you had a bad experience with our team. You should not have been charged the repacking fee so this will be credited shortly.

Good Quality Roof Windows

When we set foot on RW4Y Stand at Harrogate Renovating and Building Show, and after having a conversation with the RW4Y Team, Mike Hutchinson (Sales Manager). gave us all of the information we needed to satisfy us to make the correct decision of Roof Windows for our project.

There were various options to choose from and to suit anyone’s needs whatever project you are planning eg: listed buildings, old Barns and renovation projects, RW4Y cover it all.

After returning home, we wanted to check our measurements and style of roof window we wanted from RW4U’s fully detailed information booklet,
We placed our order with Mike who covered everything we needed to know, from courier to despatch date to suit us.

The delivery was swift and effortless.
When the windows arrived we fully checked everything over. The windows were very well boxed up and secure and very happy with the excellent quality. Great instructions to follow for fitting and very clear.

We still have them to fit but we’ve had a long delay due to some personal family issues.
But looking forward to fitting then soon.

I would recommend anyone looking for roof windows which are well made.
The engineering has been well thought out and worth the price is to contact Mike Hutchinson, very professional, knowlegeable and friendly.

Mike will help you choose what is right for your project.
Thanks Mike for all of your support and hope to see you again soon.

Very helpful.

I couldn't find one of the items that I wanted on the web page so phoned up and spoke to a very helpful lady. She set up a personalised basket and added the items for me. She even phoned me back the next morning to say that the items were actually in stock and had been dispatched. Very helpful. Thankyou.

Excellent service all round. Special thanks to Abigail Grice, the Customer Service Advisor at FAKRO who sorted out all my enquiries very efficiently. Also, the delivery by Palletways which was very efficient with a very helpful driver.
