Has anyone used Art of Glass for an extension or conservatory?

We had Art of Glass round to quote for a small 6 foot extension to our flat and were really impressed by them. Has anyone used them in the past? We're a little nervous as it's so much money (rightly so, it's structural work!).

Hi, I didn't use them in the end. I was contacted by two people from other forums who said that they had had a terrible experience with them. They had been left with half done extensions or massive structural issues with their properties and that the company had just closed down and reopened and never been accountable. I got a bit scared off. You can indeed see reviews for the company and the main lady Ganna online if you search so maybe contact them too? The company did quote ?19,000 for a 10 x 6 kitchen extension with glazed roof and underfloor heating and I did really like the process of designing with them. They were also more than happy to let me look at other extensions they had done so maybe look into it yourself? I didn't look into it any more and never had an extension done in the end. Sorry I can't be more helpful!


(I was however highly recommended David O'Brien by several people and he seemed really lovely and was more than happy to show me around finished and ongoing building projects. He is also reassuringly quite booked up. He's on 07960 938621 and if you search you can find recommendations on Virtual Norwood forum too)

Hi Tarah,

Found your message on this Forum and decided that will explain our part of the story.Our company was targeted by awful woman with a lot of classic cars. She asked us to build for her orangery instead of bad conservatory she had.When I was signing the contract she said- we sue every builder walking to this door and always won.the bell should of ring for me. But I was absolutely sure that we do our very best so it has nothing to do with us. As you may remember, we take only small deposit, order all frames and take payment after it been delivered.She was behaving funny from the start and when her construction ?20k worth was delivered refused to pay, making stupid case of non existing damage.( we removed her old construction as per contract!)After consulting our lawyer, we understood that as goods where behind her gates it will takes us very long and expensive to get court order for removal and walked away... However, few bits were missing for her to put free orangery by someone else up and she was chasing how to get it. Writing Rubbish on different sites etc. Finally, we had to report her to the police and asked sites were we found damaging information and asked for it to be Removed. There are rogue builders but there are rogue customers too! You can call me for more details on 07894556072 . Thanks

    • ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Support from No-Files – A Truly Exceptional Experience I want to extend a huge thank you to Tony at No-Files Estate Agents for his incredible help and unwavering support over the past 10 months. My flat sale was far from straightforward, and I truly don’t think I’d be in my new home today without him. The process was made extremely difficult by solicitors who were unprofessional, unresponsive, and at times, outright rude. They refused to communicate with each other, which caused significant delays and confusion throughout the chain. Tony became the key point of contact between four people in the chain and the other estate agent, constantly stepping in to manage communication and keep things moving. The situation became so complex that all parties were forced to exchange and complete on the same day. Despite all three buyers and sellers having removal vans booked and packed, one solicitor refused to answer calls and only sent a single email at 3:55pm making it impossible for anyone to move that day. This caused unnecessary stress and cost for everyone involved and we all live for weeks with a flat with all my items packed away. To make matters worse, my mortgage offer—along with the offers for others in the chain—was expiring. Solicitors offered no guidance and simply suggested reapplying, with no clear timeline or confidence in the process. Throughout it all, Tony remained calm, communicative, and supportive. He was the only person I could rely on to explain what was happening, keep everyone in the loop, and offer reassurance during moments when I felt completely overwhelmed. His professionalism, dedication, and genuine care made all the difference. I am so grateful I chose No-Files. Although I’m sad to have moved out of the area and may not be able to use them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend them. If you're looking for an estate agent who is professional, honest, transparent, and truly goes above and beyond—No-Files and Tony are exactly who you need. Thank you again, Tony — I truly couldn’t have done this without you! May 2025  Andrea
