Visit www.manchesterwindowfactory.co.ukWe have just had a full house installation completed by Manchester window factory and we are absolutely thrilled with the finished job. The quoting process was relaxed and straighforward (ie no phoning up the manager for extra discounts) We got a fair price for a first rate job. Every staff member arrived at appointed times and carried out their work in a professional manner, explaining as they went how certain aspects of the work would be done and if there were options in the finish, they...

Visit www.manchesterwindowfactory.co.ukWe are looking forward to having our windows fitted by them after doing some extensive research. Although we enjoyed reading many of the excellent reviews on this forum, we found their Facebook page really did what this site can't. Pictures and comments from customers have been uploaded and we could see pretty much exactly what we could get before placing our order. It's difficult for the layperson to imagine exactly how the work will look and the fact that there are so many different images... (read more)

Visit www.manchesterwindowfactory.co.ukWe always try to buy locally so we asked two companies near to us to quote for our new windows. Both companies offered exactly the same window and were almost exactly the same price. They told me that everyone uses the same windows so it wasn't really necessary to shop around. We then asked Manchester window's to quote because my partner had read lots of good reviews and although they were not 'local' they were only 20 miles away which they said wasn't a problem as they do work nation...

Visit www.manchesterwindowfactory.co.ukWe have recently had a P shaped conservatory installed by mwf after a friend recommended them to us. We went through the usual farce of asking three companies to quote for the work. I must say that there were huge differences in the quotes, with mwf's falling in the middle of three and coming in at around what we expected. The cheapest quote, which was from a local guy and his son, seemed too cheap and they never went into detailed specifications regarding the construction of the base, the... (read more)

Visit www.manchesterwindowfactory.co.ukWe were initially told six weeks and then increased to nine weeks when we upgraded to the light ivory foiled finish. We were a bit disappointed by this because the smaller local companies were quoting two weeks (though they didn't have the product range).

We were a little apprehensive at first because the other properties on the development we live on which have been done just have white. We needn't have... (read more)

Visit www.manchesterwindowfactory.co.ukWe got really good value for money from MWF. We'd shopped around and found that they were more expensive than the small independents and less than the nationals apart from one. The high end locking and glazing are what push the price up in my opinion but they seem well worth the extra. An insured waranty and certass registration gave us peace of mind as did the fact that the installers were experienced and time served.

Thanks for the review. Due to the detail in this review. I am familiar with this particular installation. I am sorry to hear that we didn't tidy round suitably, this is not common practice for our fitters, so I will ensure this is tightened up. With reference to the confusion over the installation date, perhaps we could look at sending email confirmations prior to installation to avoid this in future. We do strive for perfection and 100% customer satisfaction so we find this type of review really helpful in assisting us to achieve this. Many thanks. Alex. Manchester Window Factory.
