Chasing trims for sliding doors pointlessly!

We had some sliding doors installed in our loft conversion that were beautiful. The issue we had was the that the trims were not provided so the installation was incomplete. After numerous conversations ID systems said they could provide the trims at cost. Ẃe were happy to do that as it would complete the installation, however after speaking to around 3 different account managers and the installation team and emailling numerous times to finialise this no one got back to us. We have been chasing for around 4/ 5 months re the install of these trims to no avail. Spending time on the phone and emailing constantly, think the company must have known we were fustrated. Yet no attempt had been made to get back to the us after our correspondence 2 months ago. Following a string of numerous emails, we decided that we should not be the ones chasing as we have never had to do this with any other company throughout our house renovations. It seems so simple yet there seems to be a lack of care and attention paid to customers after product has been delivered and payment made. Very dissapointed with the service, we had to ask another company in the end to help us who did provide us with trims easily with a lead time of 2 weeks. Would not recommend ID systems as customer service was very poor.

Dear Jas,

Whilst we appreciate you taking the time to leave a review we feel we must respond to the content of your review.

When we undertook the survey prior to installation we advised a number of items of work on site that we required, prior to fitting, to ensure the opening was a ready for the doors.

When our fitters arrived to install the products we discovered that none of this work had been carried out and that as a result the opening was larger than had been planned. Our fitters worked dilligently with your builder on site to avoid the disruption of having to postpone the installation and were able to find a solution to ensure the doors were installed correctly and to his satisfaction.

As a gesture of goodwill we offered to supply you with trims to cover the gaps (caused by the opening being larger than planned) at cost price and advised you of the lead times and the cost for the trim on a supply only basis. At which point you advised us that you could source the trims elsewhere.

We appreciate the frustration when things do not go to plan on site, however in this instance the problems experienced at installation were entirely out of our control. We feel that to suggest the installation was incomplete or that we have shown a lack of care is unfair, given that your builder signed off the work of our engineers on the day of fitting and that our team worked hard to find a solution to the issues caused by others.

Delighted!

We went with IDSystems for two sets of sliding doors in our rear extension and are delighted with them. The whole process from specifying the requirements for the builders, to the survey and fitting went really well and IDS hit their supply timetable despite Covid and a very busy period. Visitors remark on the appearance and build quality of the doors. Very happy!

Brilliant product and installation

We are really pleased with our new sliding doors and have no doubt they will provide the biggest talking point of our house renovation. The quality is brilliant and the installation team were exceptional with great attention to detail - our builders also commented on the high end finish and fit. Overall the level of service and product you would wish for when you are paying for a more premium product. The process did feel a little over burdened at points with T&C's but that's the world we live in. Everyone was patient and helpful with us whenever we had any queries. We haven't moved in yet but are confident having seen the quality that they will last. We would highly recommend them to anyone else looking for something special on a project.

A real ‘WOW’ factor moment.

We are extremely pleased with the look of our IDSystem doors and roof lantern. The whole operation was organised by our builder who supervised the installation, which went smoothly. After which, when I walked into my kitchen, I had a wonderful WOW moment. The difference these doors and panels have made to our view over the garden is amazing. The joins are extremely fine so our view is in no way diminished. The product is substantial and of good quality and whilst being provided with good explanations of how to look after the sliding doors, we are pleased to have the option of having them serviced every so often. It’s winter now and we are very much looking forward to having them opened up during the summer.

We first came across IDSytems at a home…

We first came across IDSytems at a home renovation show and new immediately that these were the doors for us as nothing came close. We opted for the more expensive patio doors (the Edge 2.0) and are thrilled with them and are well worth the extra expense. There was a slight problem with the glass being delivered by the glazing company for one of the doors but IDSytems dealt with it professionally and kept us informed. We would not hesitate in recommending IDSytems for the service and fantastic product we received.

The process was simple

The process was simple. Surveyor told me exactly what I needed to have done when he visited the sight. Fitters were clean tidy and polite. Doors are absolutely fantastic. I love them.

Great service

We were really impressed by Duncan who showed us around the showroom and helpfully answered all our questions. The service stood out above the other window companies we visited and was a major reason behind why we ultimately chose ID Systems. The products look great - we haven't moved in yet so can't say how well they operate, but the installation went smoothly and everything seems to be good. The reason we haven't given 5 stars is because installation was delayed, not, we understand, because of a Covid reason.

Stunning windows…

We saw the IDS system on a Grand Designs show and were really excites with what we saw, we were particularly interested In the Edge and clean sight lines it gave. We followed up by going to a home improvement exhibition to see the doors in the flesh. We were extremely impressed with all the IDS products and the professionalism of the sales force. The IDS systems were by far the best against the many exhibitors at the show.
We decided to get a quote and whilst not cheap, the company have been able to deliver the vision we wanted. The installation was trouble free and we are delighted with our purchase and would highly recommend IDS to anyone who wants a stunning outlook and centrepiece of any building extension.

Appalling customer service

When a date was set for the fitting of my 10 sliding doors, there were many threats of possible penalties if all the listed criteria weren’t met by the home owner. But in the end the team turned up 2 days early and I had to hastily arrange for someone to be present ( one of said requirements ).
Quality is excellent, so all was well until a window broke.
My replacement window is pink and mirror effect and definitely doesn’t match the other nine windows, in fact it stands out like a sore thumb. I’m told by IDSystems that they have fitted the best match and as the small print claims that exact replacements are not guaranteed, ‘the case is closed’. In my opinion a difference as great as this should have been highlighted when I placed the order, and not just hidden in the small print.

Dear Nick,

We wanted to respond to your review because we feel additional context is required. Firstly your bifold doors were originally installed more than 7 years ago so for you to raise an issue with the installation process after such a long period of time has confused us, because nothing was mentioned at the time.

With regards to the replacement glass unit, given the period of time since the original installation, our specialists did their very best to source a direct replacement and they ordered exactly the same specification of glass from our supplier as was originally installed.

When it comes to glass specification we are completely reliant on the sealed unit suppliers and glass manufacturing industry as a whole, which is why (like every other door and window supplier in the country) we cannot ever guarantee an exact match for replacement units.

That said, we are obviously delighted that you are pleased with the quality of the bifold doors themselves after all these years.

I have to completely agree with the previous review.

I have to completely agree with the previous review. Our windows have broken less than a year after installation. We contacted ID a month ago and an installer was able to advise how to shut the doors that day ,however they could not be opened until they arrived to mend the 'brake' system. A known problem apparently he gave the impression they would be around our area in the next week or so.

We were away so did not trouble too much. On our return we were entertaining friends who had shown interest in buying the windows so I contacted them asking if they could repair before the weekend.

There was a delay so was not possible. A week later we emailed ( no reply) e mailed again the next day and a day later rang. It is now no longer with aftersales but with installion who have been e mailed internally 3 times copying in the manager Greg but they have not replied to aftersales. What we should do I have no idea hence this frustrated review?

We are sick of chasing round their internal sytem and now waiting a month with no end in sight , and not being able to get into our garden directly. If this is a known problem they should have the parts and as they say they pride on customer service communicate properly and deal with the internal merry go round.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We feel it only fair to be able to respond to your comments because during the COVID-19 pandemic our installation and after-sales teams were working with significantly reduced resources.

On the rare occasions where there are issues with our doors our priority is to secure the doors for those customers so they can be closed and locked. We were able to achieve this for you over the phone and obviously advised you not to use the doors until we could arrange a visit.

To clarify your point regarding the issue you experienced, this was not a ‘known fault’ with the door. The issue was passed to our installations team for their input and expertise and we were able to get someone to you, given our restricted workforce, at the earliest possible opportunity to resolve the issue.

We apologise for any inconvenience the issue caused and have passed your feedback on to our team so that we can continue to improve the service that we offer.

Go elsewhere

Great great product, very happy with it. But the customer service is awful. They have the most ridiculous internal processes, no one knows where your project is, responding to emails is poor to none existent and it’s always someone else’s fault etc etc. The most ridiculous thing is that after installing your product, they wait around in your house until you pay the bill!! Unbelievable. Maybe we just had a bad experience??

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we are disappointed that the service you have received has not met your expectations.

As you will appreciate the processes involved in designing, manufacturing and installing completely bespoke glazing systems from scratch can seem rather complex but we have taken your feedback on board regarding our internal project management of jobs and are constantly looking at ways of improve our communication with customers.

With regards to your comments about our installers waiting on site until we have received payment, this is standard practice within our industry and would have been communicated to you throughout the ordering process. Having completed the works to your satisfaction and handed the finished project over it is at this point that we expect the final outstanding balance on the job to be paid.
