We have just had 5 Star to install a replacement conservatory with a solid insulated roof, new lighting and plastering. We found them to be efficient and the work carried out was to a very good standard, all the workmen were hard working, polite and friendly and we would have no hesitation in recommending this company and would definitely use them again.

5star Windows have completed two projects at my property, (bespoke aluminium Crittall style French windows and a large aluminium gable fronted extension). There were issues along the way and so completion took longer than anticipated but the outcome was well worth the wait. The 5star staff assigned to my projects were amazing (special thanks to Chris Hatton) When snagging issues occurred they persevered until they were sure I was 100% happy. This company still feels like a family run independent where the customer truly matters, The biggest recommendation I can give is to say that I hope to have more windows from them this year

Highly recommend 5 Star from the design phase through to the build and installation, they were very supportive and knowledgeable and have completed the job to an extremely high standard. Absolutely delighted with my extension and couldn't fault a thing. Highly recommended!

We were experiencing problems with our box gutter where water seeped into our conservatory during excessive rainfall. Charlee from the customer support team made the necessary appointments, and a solution was developed. Dean arrived as part of the fitting team and a second guttering system was built into the house roof. The job itself was very good indeed, and the construction/fittings are of a very high standard indeed. Dean and Charlee are professional and really good at what they do. Thank you both so very much.

Product and service was good. Apart from a couple of issues which necessitated two return visits, the eventual installation has been good. *Update* November 2023 - Just had a service issue which necessitated a visit from a 5 Star engineer (issue was of my making). Jason attended and was a star. Professional and courteous, he sorted out my issue in no time. Also my thanks to the customer service team (big shout out to Charlee Coy and Kayleigh Flint who assisted me and arranged everything. Well done ! As I have reported, 5Star customer service continues to impress. Thank you

5 Star came up with the design that we wanted at the price we were happy with. The delivery team were great and the builders, fitters, electrician etc. were all very friendly and professional. We had a few complications along the way, but all were resolved and we are really pleased with the finished results. I would definitely recommend 5 Star if you are looking for a quote for an extension.

The work was carried out in the time we were told it would be completed. The fitters were polite and very efficient. There was a very small problem with one of the panels which the fitters told us about which has been replaced by a very pleasant fitter today so in all we are very pleased with 5star and would use them again

We are absolutely thrilled with the quality of windows and doors we ordered from 5 Star Windows and conservatories. The service, design advice and support offered was exceptional and made the process of choosing windows and doors seamless and stress free, from our visit to the showroom to the final installation. No question was unanswered, help was available when needed. Staff at 5 star windows and conservatories went above and beyond our expectations, taking us through the design process and showing us various renderings to help us visualise how the doors and windows would look. They helped us with measurements for positioning of doors and windows to improve the aesthetic of our permitted development extension. We thoroughly recommend 5 Star Windows and conservatories and would absolutely use them again in future for our next project.

We had a previous, very positive experience with 5 Star last year when they replaced our conservatory roof and windows at the rear of our house. It was therefore a no-brainer to ask them to fit a new Tilt and Turn window at the side of our house which involved builders, electricians, fitters and plasterers. A great experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to use 5 Star again!

This was one replacement lounge window in a maisonette. It was no problem for the installation team to bring new window parts up the stairs, to the first floor of the building. It took just two hours to remove the old window and replace it. All rubbish, including the old window, was taken away easily. The work was done from the inside of the building. I am very pleased with the attractive new window, which was to my chosen design. I have no hesitation in recommending 5 Star Windows to anyone considering window replacement.

From quoting to fitting a professional and cheerful service from all involved. Love the new look windows which now blend in with the colour of our brickwork and make our dormer bungalow look pretty and updated. Attention to detail and fitting by the trade team including sorting out any minor fitting issues were dealt with promptly and efficiently. Phase two of our upgrade will be due to start soon and we will definitely be using 5 Star and their trade team to finish our home.

Very good experience with 5 Star Windows starting with the sales rep who was friendly, not pushy, and gave helpful advice and a more competitive quote than other companies we dealt with. The fitter who installed the front door did a professional job, taking his time to make sure he was happy. Nice to get a follow-up call from the managing director to check we were happy and reminding us to return the 20-year guarantee. Would recommend.

We cannot fault the installation of the windows and doors. All the employees involved with our purchase were courteous, and made us feel part of the 5-Star family. Our house is very old, and that does bring difficulties for anyone working on it. This caused no concern for the installation team, who were very experienced on all types of property. We are very pleased with the whole experience and would not hesitate to recommend 5-Star to family and friends.

Really pleased with the service we received from 5 Star Windows right from the start with the salesman who had many years experience in the trade who was a great help advising us on options no nonsense on pricing and focused on products that would suit us and trust me there are so many options with 5 star your spoilt for choice. We was impressed with the quality of the products too that we was able to try out and see benefits of different constructions also A+ energy rating with 20yr warranty!!! We had the conservatory done at the same time and all the workmen on both projects were professional tidy and took a pride in the job. Also a special thanks to Marzena in the office who was in regular contact planning the works and invoicing on the 2 projects. These windows and doors are definitely helping with heating costs too we are really pleased with the service we received from 5 star would highly recommend them.

Having used 5 Star for replacement windows and doors over many years I can commend them for their professionalism and their products. As for the former, they provide helpful advice, always turn up when they say they will and know their trade (skilled fitters); as for the latter there is a good range of good quality products.

5 Star Windows are indeed 5 Star In very cold weather some months ago, your team came to Bramble Hill and fitted three windows in our art studio. Â I was so impressed by your team and your products that I ordered a further two large windows. Â Duncan arrived to fit them. Â He was efficient and courteous and helpful far beyond the call of duty. Â A shelf had been fitted to our old wooden windows: he took this down and cunningly worked out how it could be installed above the new window. Â He also - with considerable difficulty - cheerfully repositioned a draining board so that it would fit in.the new windows look brilliant and the fitting was exemplary. Â 5-star Windows are indeed 5 Star.

Excellent 5 Star Service from the start to final completion The service we received from our initial enquiry to final completion was excellent and very professional. Aron, the Sales Designer,  was knowledgeable and helpful throughout, visiting us on three occasions. The sales staff in the showroom in Worcester were also helpful and remembered our names on the three visits we made, whilst  Gareth, Molly and Ross in Head Office could not have more obliging. There was no hard sell and when we delayed both finalising the details and the final fitting of our new windows, the company could not have been more understanding and helpful. The fitters, Tim and Tyler were very pleasant and professional and have done an excellent job. We have no hesitation in recommending 5 Star Windows to family and friends and will be using them again in the future.

will definitely be purchasing from 5 Star again. Thus far, I have had a fully glazed patio door and a fully glazed side door installed. As our house is a Georgian cottage, we wanted to maintain the period Georgian features as much as possible. 5 Star Windows & Conservatories were the only company that would provide proper Georgian astrugal bars to both doors as opposed to the horrid fake looking strips that most companies install inside the glazing. The doors are extremely solid and heavy and the gold feature handles and hinges are a cut above and didn't cost any extra. I am extremely happy 5 Star. Their team is extremely professional, friendly and not pushy like other sales companies. We have an entire house full of windows to replace and will definitely be purchasing from 5 Star again.

All windows, back and patio door replaced December 2021. Small snagging issues emerged early 2022, and response from customer services poor, ie rarely called back, lacked interest in issues. All changed when Charlotte took over late 2022, with prompt response and resolution to our issues. Well Done.

6x3m conservatory and new doors and a few other upgrades. Very tough tough time for customers and businesses with the virus but the world has to turn. Rob managed it and was always on hand to assist. Gavin & co were calm & straight to it making the foundations and Kayleigh in the office got more emails off me than she would have expected BUT dealt with all my needs and designs and I am fussy and make no apology for it as its my house! No one let me down, communications were solid... I have nothing to say as a negative. Lots of different people involved, not one was bad at their job. I am from a complaints/compliance background and I didnt encounter issues apart from a few delays which was covid restrictions so no one can change that.

Quick response when I made an inquiry about improving the warmth in winter and making it cooler in summer in our conservatory. The salesman told us what we needed and that we would not need any extra heating as we had hoped to remove the dividing doors between the sitting room and conservatory to make one large room. Attached to the quote there should have been some drawings but no drawings appeared despite asking for them. In the salesman’s quote he said please get in touch however small our query but at this point he seemed to disappear. There were several problems with communication - people turning up at 9am when we had arranged for them to call at 2pm . The wrong size glass for the doors, when I chased them they came out with the wrong size again obviously someone had not reordered. The fitters worked well and the manager that came out said we would need extra heating in that area. It was summer at this point and I was concerned as the heat was over 40c on some days. I spoke to a member of staff as I wondered if the glass was working properly and would the glass work in winter. When I thought there was a crack in the glass I was asked to send a photo - no-one at that point explained that it was just a mark on the glass as if it had broken it would have crazed. I was surprised to be rung up by a member of staff to be asked where the photo was that they had asked for, when I had sent it in some days before.There has been a leak where the glass roof joins the wall. This was promptly seen to. I do realise it is difficult during this time of Covid when staff may be working from home. There are some good members of staff who have apologised and tried to make things better. I have been given money towards an electric heater which has now made the conservatory warm even when outside is below freezing. I wonder how our electricity bills are going to go up. I still feel that I have been sold something not fit for purpose in the first place.

As soon as i saw the Chartwell green conservatory in the broacher i wanted it our old brown one had served us well and i thought the colour would blend well. Well its finally here and it is stunning.This really is a quality product . The fitters were meticulous as the weather was awful they worked methodically and every detail was taken care of how they managed this in two days is beyond me thankyou to Gavin and Neil. Keith sorted all of the electric's again doing a lovely job again attention to detail as a customer it means alot.i can be a little fussy. It has taken a little time to complete due to lock down and the delays caused with manufacturing and with this in mind i would like to say thankyou to Emma and Leanne for there efforts i now appreciate how difficult organising such a project must be in this uncertain time. Well it here we love it it's rained every day and no leaks

The work on our two replacement doors was disrupted by Covid 19, but as soon as they were able the firm contacted us again and today we have had the work done. The two fitters worked quickly and we are thrilled with the results. After the doors were finished the fitter went through care of the doors, cleaning etc and how to get extra keys. They left the house clean and tidy, taking away the old doors and all the bits and pieces. The doors are a real improvement to the look o& our property and are made to a high quality..

Where to begin.... disaster after disaster. Our initial experience with the sales rep was really good (no surprise there). Very professional and we thought knowledgeable - but as we went further through the process we realize there was a lack of knowledge in some important areas. At this point we were glad we chose 5 star... I am not sure now the work is all finished though. A big issue this company has is no one take any responsibility or accountability for the lack of communication and planning and there is a real 'shrugged shoulders' attitude to their customers and any issues faced. I had emailed my review directly to the company but notice it hasn't appeared on their website - probably because it wasn't 4 or 5 star. I have outlined a rough timeline of events and our experience below; - The initial meetings with the sales rep were great and we found him really helpful – we had high hopes and felt very confident we had chosen the right company - Then had to chase the receipt for my deposit payment and the loan paperwork after I had been called by the Kidderminster office to say it had all gone through ok. When I did chase the loan paperwork I was told that 5 star would never actually see this, I was then called back to say the paperwork would be posted out to me??? - The meetings with the surveyor were ok and we found him initially accommodating too – however, the initial design drawings arrived later than we were advised and I had to amend them as the internal exposed brick wall had been omitted – despite discussing and agreeing this with the sales rep and the surveyor. The electric plug locations had been missed too – confirmed by the plans the builders had on arrival to start the work as the electrical fix section had question marks all over it. The plugs were fitted but we had to have a surface mounted plug as we didn't want to have a brick retrospectively removed - Build team have been fantastic, although some of the brickwork could be better – a real asset to the company. However, having had them booked for day 1 of the build on 08/05/18 I was called at 8.50am on 08/05/18 by the office to say they would not be attending until 09/05/18 – I had booked a day's leave for the initial meet and greet. I did eventually get 5 Star to reimburse me for lost income, which was good of them, although they did say it wasn't company policy.... wonder how they would have dealt with me not allowing them access to my house on the first build day and having wasted their builder time?? - My original guttering and downpipe was left disconnected for weeks allowing water to penetrate behind the brick work and original render on the property. I had to chase this continuously to be repaired and even when it was 3 further visits were required to rectify issues, including the wrong colour guttering clip being fitted - cream and the rest of the parts were white??? - The surveyor was due to attend to re-measure the frames once the base and walls had been fitted and he failed to attend twice - again I had to chase this... bit of a theme now.... - Turned out the original design the surveyor suggested was in no way fit for purpose - the frames would not be suitable and would we would be sent an amended design over – this never arrived as the office sent it to the wrong email address. I had to chase again. This part of the process was very stressful as all confidence and trust at this stage had been eroded. Why had they suggested something that was not suitable or structurally sound? - We were again the asked where we wanted the electric plugs located - despite confirming with the sales rep, surveyor and area manager who had visited us to discuss our 'journey' so far - I was then told the frames and windows had been ordered despite having the current issue of the original design not being fit for purpose - why would they order something now knowing it wasn't suitable. Another communication and planning issue. - Area Manager came to see me, this was after cancelling one visit on the day and then arriving several hour late - without the surveyor who was also supposed to attend . At this point the base and brickwork had been completed for nearly 3 weeks and we still didn't know what was happening with the frames and windows issue and the electric plug locations - although 5 star kept telling me they were on track?? - Throughout all stages of the build we were not given any idea of timescales or a programme of works - I eventually obtained this through chasing and visiting their Kidderminster office - Electrics were eventually profiled and electrician made 3 visits?? - Plaster was fitted whilst I had a temporary poly carb roof panel installed as not enough glass was ordered. To make things worse the temp solution hadn't been fitted correctly and would have allowed water penetration - it was a good job we had the really dry summer weather otherwise the plaster and electrics would have been knackered - Frames and all window glass were eventually fitted but very poorly, I had the engineers cut my aerial cable down without asking me (5 star did agree to cover the cost of a re-install after I asked them), I had cigarette butts left in the conservatory and ended up having 4 different lots of engineers attend to fit, finish off, snag our conservatory. Again missed appointments and late arrivals throughout this process - We had to have some re-pointing which I guess is standard The main issues with this company is that different departments don't speak to each other and they definitely cant plan anything. This is all compounded by a general so what type of attitude. Throughout our journey I did meet the owner and a new area manager, they came to visit me, This did give some additional assurances but we still had further issues after this visit, the communication did get better so I hope that they have taken some learning from our build. I wouldn't recommend 5 star and wouldn't use them for any further work - which is a shame as it all started out so well. Our relatively small build took from 09/05/18 - 24/08/18 to totally finish, inc all snags and issues that should have been dealt with during the actual build and fitting. Not sure if this is an appropriate timescale, suspect not given we have many many delays and we were told 6-8 weeks by the sales rep

Company Response

Thank you for your review. Every day we try to be 100%, it’s our ethos, we call it 5 Star. Sometimes we fail and that makes us sad, looking back at your journey there were aspects that weren’t perfect. Ideally, our builders wouldn’t have been a day late and our glass supplier wouldn’t have delivered short…so we unconditionally apologise. I’m certain you’re aware that your installation was completed during a period of transition at 5 Star, when Andrew O’Neill our new Operations Manager had just instigated several changes to our structure, and to the team looking after you within our installation department, I note you acknowledged that in the later stages communication did improve. However, our telephone system records all incoming and outgoing calls, so we’ve reviewed 23 in bound and 14 outbound. We have also read 22 emails from you with 22 replies and a further 14 to you detailing information. I note during our telephone calls, on more than one occasion you comment on missing calls and not having received emails which we sent. We confirm you requested a copy of your finance documents and deposit receipt on the 21st March, 7 days after paying your deposit, which we emailed to you the same day. We had posted your deposit receipt, along with your CPA registration form and a welcome letter the day before. We don’t normally plan the physical positions of light switches or sockets, until our electricians are onsite and after the buildings are constructed, as often customers want to make these decisions once the walls are in place and furniture positions are decided. Thank you for acknowledging our payment to you for one days lost income – agreed by ourselves on the actual day. We apologise that you had concerns regarding your guttering and downpipes being disconnected, which I understand all are now all in place correctly with the new structures guttering being complete. There did seem to be some confusion over the window designs and I acknowledge your concerns over the original fitting, but I do say, most politely, you do have the most demanding of standards and expectations of our process with timescales desired before orders are placed or delivery dates confirmed. You mentioned the fitting of temporary polycarbonate glazing in two panels, which was due to an unusual supplier issue and not incorrect ordering. Fortunately, this happened during the hottest summer for 40 years, when no rain was forecast. Normally we would not fit temporary polycarbonate, but we did it at our risk, to keep the projects timescale uninterrupted. The designer’s timescale of 6-8 weeks didn’t include your final snagging, so were reasonably accurate. Again, we thank you for your review, because without challenging situations we will never raise our standards bar. I thank you for settling your final invoice, which indicates that your conservatory was completed to your satisfaction.

I am absolutely delighted with my windows and the guys who installed them, Ade and Richie worked exceptionally hard. The original frame from my old tired windows was not in line which meant they had to work twice as hard to sort it out. They made sure it was perfect before they left and even found the time to clean up after they’d finished. I can highly recommend them as they have done a brilliant job and my windows look stunning! Thank you Five Star windows you absolutely deserve 5 stars!!!

Pre sales query. Looking to have a conservatory fitted. Originally booked an appointment online with Clear View as was impressed with quality of the products they could offer and offers available at that time. However as I live outside their area my details was passed to 5 Star. I had a quote from the sales adviser Ross . Quotes received along with CAD drawings. I had another quote from another company as decided wanted a quote on a larger conservatory. I was quoted just under £2K less than 5 Star. I spoken to 5 star as realised the adviser did not mention a discount as advertised on their website. I requested the admin team for Ross to call me to discuss further. it has now been around 2wks ago no call back received. One can only assume now that the offers are not actually genuine. Not good at all.

I have never enjoyed a conservatory with my home and with all the financila pressures in life I couldd never afford to have one built so now i'm retiered this was hiigh on the list of my priorities. It all started quite by chance when we were passing through Kidderminster when I called at 5 Star Conservatories. As soon as I could tell that I knew what they were doing' I soon gave them the order because as a Chartered Surveyoir I WAS CONFIDENT IN THEIR HIGH SPECIFICATION. today was the final day of cleaning and stagging - and I cannot understate my total satisfaction in the final result of this project which i'm confident will bring my wife and I all the pleasure not only in high summenr but more importantly in spring and autumn.

We had a whole house full of windows of this company about five years ago. About two years ago we ordered some patio doors which we are really pleased with. We have just ordered a rooflight for our lounge And they are going to take off the old roof we have on our orangery and put a new modern one with two roof lights in. Each time we have used five star we have found them to be professional and always eager to please.

I am a returning customer to 5star Windows Kidderminster. We have recently had installed all new Windows and doors from the R9 heritage range. My partner and I are utterly delighted it's transformed our home inside and out. I personally believe they are the best double glazing and conservatory provider around and would recommend to anyone. All staff polite and professional. Fitters are extremely hard working and nothing is to much trouble for them. A quality product provided at very competitive prices. Many thanks all at 5star

5 Star have been really helpful, especially during the period when we were deciding which of two projects we were going to go ahead with. The company was really patient and didn't keep calling to check on our decision progress - really appreciated! We finally decided to replace the front and back doors and leave the replacement conservatory roof for another time. We are really happy with the new design front door and replacement back door and nothing was too much trouble for the fitters who were friendly, polite and tidy. Lovely job - thank you 5 Star.

I was pleased with the service from the salesman, to the people in the office who kept me informed and the fitting. The installer informed me straight away that a unit had cracked and that a replacement was already on order. He completed the installation and the replacement was installed within the week first thing in the morning with minimal inconvenience to me.

Our house was broken into, demolishing our 2 new hardwood doors to the interiors, 5 star stated 7 to 10 days to survey & replace with their highest security type of door, as our home was open & very insecure....5 star gave us the urgency we hoped for, & surveyed the same day of our visit, how quick is that?? & 8 to 10 days to make and fit both, even with a bank holiday in between..They arrived spot on time, fitted, trimmed, cleaned and left, leaving us a pair of well fitted, smart & very secure pair of doors, Now we can sleep a little easier at night, thanks to 5 Star's fast reaction to our problem.....Well Done 5 Star, top marks from us .. Now to sort the Burglar Alarm. Yes, 5 Star are a good team,selling quality goods,I DO RECOMMEND them.

This was my 2nd project with 5 star. Overall an excellent service. My only gripe would be that there needs to be greater clarity within the sales process around some of the finer details agreed following the initial quote eg whether outside lights, external slabs around conservatory are included within the overall quote. But oval a great job. Thanks

We needed our conservatory in a hurry as our family was coming from abroad and we had just moved house. We had other quotes but none could do what we wanted for the date we wanted it. We were a bit concerned at this and wondered what the job would be like. The builders were amazing and worked extremely hard and finished what they had to do in good time despite some rain to hamper them. The conservatory was put up very efficiently and within a day we could see the difference. The conservatory was finished a couple of days later to a very high standard and we were very pleased. The electrician and plasterer were people that 5* brought in and they did a superb job. I really did like the idea that they sorted everything and we had nothing to worry about. I would recommend them and use them again for any windows and doors that we need in the future. And yes the whole family 17 of us were sat down to Christmas Dinner in our new conservatory. Well done 5*. Two months on we are so pleased with it and use it as much as we can.

6mx4m Conservatory built in Sept'10. A mixed experience with the company, started off well with the salesman (Ross) but communication during the build was less good with no one overseeing the project. The build was very quick and the brickwork completed by their master builder Mark at the time was excellent. We needed a box gutter fitted and the company dealt with this competently. Following the build, there were some teething problems initially with the French door handles and mould appeared in the two outer corners within a few weeks. Their after care person (Gavin) came out to fix this. Handles were tightened and more PVC strips were used to cover mould. However, the strips along the window sill look amateurish as the sealant was put on roughly. Overall, despite the issues mentioned, we have enjoyed the conservatory and use it all year round. It is also quite good at retaining heat.

This is a presales review as five star have never actually managed to get a quote to us. We had Ross come out to us on a Friday night in December and had a very professional discussion. He took all the measurements and promised to come back to us with the quote. We didn't hear anything for a fortnight so popped down to the showroom which is very impressive and asked what was happening. We were promised the quote soon and the manager even said 'oh yes, I've seen him working on it'. I have emailed them again and still heard nothing. The quality of their products looks good but they don't seem to want the business. Very disappointed.

Company Response

We have the right not to quote should we be unhappy to proceed - this customer is well aware that we were not happy to carryout this work for health and safety reasons.

Excellent service. Darren the Installations Manager is extremely helpful and very trusting. We are really pleased with our new Palladio door. Alan gave us a few options with the space we were looking at, so we didn't feel we only had one choice of solution. Everything is documented on your invoice and all the workmen have done a excellent job. I would definitly recommend 5 Star and hope to call them back in the future to change some of my windows that are not as good as the triple glazing they are offering !

New doors Work started well, but the back door has not been ordered to our specification. The window is wrong and the suppliers have offered no solution. We were supposed to have ABS suited locks but after 2 attempts to deliver these afterwards we are still waiting. There was supposed to be anti bump hinges but these do not look like the ones demonstrated. Fitters were excellent. Disappointing after sales

It is a full 5 Star job for us! Having been looking for sometime I can now say we looked everywhere for windows and doors... when frankly you don't need to look any further than 5 Star of Kidderminster. Family run, one of the family came, gave a quote, came-back, gave another quote, we thought about it and then decided to say yes and they re-visited to take the order. The things we looked for: As we are opening an Energy Conservation Centre the windows had to be the best, we got 3 huge A rated, argon filled windows, 20 double glazed roof-lights, a door and 6 trendy green windows. No pressure, allowed me to get other quotes, no nuisance follow up calls which was a breath of fresh air compared to a deluge of follow up calls. Luckily for my neighbour used 5 Star, the next door but one neighbour had 5 Star in the new house, we knew the 5 Star people's reputation and glowing reviews. Being able to deal with a top person in the company helps as we could ask for a cheaper deal and as a family owned & operated business we didn't have to watch a double glazing sales person making those mysterious staged calls to the boss and have us sitting through (yawn) another buy today or never get the price again offer

All my doors and windows were fitted 8 yrs ago and all are fine. I sent for a fitter to adjust my front and back doors (draught), Gavin arrived on time and within 15 minutes had all faults fixed. Should not happen again as this is the first time we have called them out since first fitted. He said that all doors drop slightly after a few years. Thanks Gavin job well done! Regards Pete.
