We chose uPVC to replace the wooden French Doors from kitchen to patio, and for a couple of rear/side windows, recognising that anyone taking over our house would gut it.
Alaskan (a family firm) quoted a good price, installed quickly and equally quickly (the MD himself + installer) came to make minor adjustments. That’s good service. Double glazed, weather sealed, reasonably secure.

So far the company has appeared efficient & Reiss the surveyor who visited in July was most thorough & impressive as is Abi the Receptionist. The parts come from Germany (Markilux).
So watch this space & anyone’s welcome to come to take a look when it’s operating. (A bit late for most of the sun but it’s also rain proofed).

Hi, I want to recommend Sean to the group. He fixed an outdoor kitchen roof that was poorly built and did a great job. He told me that they do all kind of handy work. He and his colleague were incredibly polite, very clean and tidy, always texting when they would arrive ahead and very reliable. They are both English so no issue of communication. So if you need any help with some handyman work don’t hesitate to contact Sean. I will definitely use them again in the future. Candice

Leigh

Electrician

Rich, Amit

He’s who our landlord uses, and seems pretty good. – Rich

Leigh is a very pleasant guy. He came on time, analysed all the many issues and quoted and supplied a quote quickly. He was flexible on when work was carried out and executed it to a high standard and cleaned up after himself. He knows his stuff and is proud to stay up to date on new systems. Replaced kitchen ceiling spots, plus bedroom and bathroom spots. Fitted new porch light and most importantly completely rewired the heating and immersion set up, which was completely wrong (hot water only running off immersion instead of boiler) just that bit will pay half his bill off in <1 year. The number of plumbers and electricians who previously failed to figure that out is ridiculous and has cost us thousands over the last 10 years. - Amit

Just for accuracy we called Leigh from our list under boilers. He is a very nice man with a good understanding of them but isn’t a heating engineer. The bonus however is that he is a good electrician and replaced our fox chewed outside cable. So he’s perfect if you need a bit of both. -Melissa

Step is great. Been teaching our boys the last year – Mar ’25, Amit
Step is really a great, patient, calm and excellent teacher. Without him our eldest teen wouldn’t have kept Math for A level so we are incredibly thankful to have him. And whenever we are away in France during school breaks, Step teaches online still to our boys. The rest of the time it’s face to face. I highly recommend him! – Mar ’25, Candice
