Has anyone used Scenic Windows?

The windows we have, have come to a natural end and are leaking badly so they need to be replaced.


We would probably replace them with upvc - would love to get wooden sashes but only if they come in competitively priced.


Any other companies to recommend? Would rather not pay the mark up for a Lordship Lane based company address.


Thanks.

Recently I've used Premier Windows Ltd to replace my timber sash windows and a bi-fold door. They are based in Croydon, I had a look at their previous jobs and their work was great. I highly recommend them to everyone. We are especially happy with their timber bi-fold doors :) Not expensive but high quality of work

Paul of Scenic Windows has recently replaced three windows in my house, two casements and a sash (the sash has acoustic ie soundproof glass as it's in my bedroom and I have been disturbed by noise from outside when I'm trying to sleep).


I never never thought I'd be getting PVC windows, let alone praising them, but I'm very happy not just with the appearance of the windows but with absolutely excellent service from Scenic Windows.


Paul has been efficient, reliable, a good communicator and a pleasure to deal with.


He gave me a list of local windows he had put in, so that I was able to go around and see them in situ before I made up my mind as to which style to have.


The windows were very well priced (compared to another local company I had a quote from) and I was able to customise them to some extent at no extra cost, eg to have different handles. The other company would put on different handles but I would have to supply and pay for them.


When I can afford it I will be getting the rest of my windows replaced too.

Yes I think so, it's certainly been very quiet!! but I've only had it a couple of nights so don't know whether there were planes or the other nearer noises which have disturbed me on those nights, or whether it would have been quiet anyway.


Will let you know in a few weeks!


Also, I had single glazing there before, so I can't say whether there is a noticeable difference over normal double glazing. However another window company told me that acoustic glass is what they use in meeting rooms at Heathrow :)


If and when I get my living room bay done, I would deffo go for acoustic glass there too.


Downside of course is, you can't hear birdsong or wind or rain, nor anybody outside shouting for help or whatever.

We recently used Paul to install secondary (acoustic) glazing to the front of our house inside our sash's. He was responsive to emails, polite and considerate. He and his team worked quickly and even came back to sort out some oddities with the install (which was more to do with our wonky house). Would (and likely will in time) use again.


Acoustic glass helps reduce sound a little but isn't the holy grail. Use in combination with differing air gaps and differing thicknesses of glass depending on the sound you wish to block out. That being said relative to the overall cost of windows the incremental amount you pay for the upgrade to acoustic is likely worth it for the longer term (do you want that niggling doubt in the back of your mind?)

Another glowing review for Paul at Scenic Glazing. He's just installed our new composite front door. The standard of work has been excellent. He was quick to repsond to emails, helpful, patient (as we changed the design quite a few times) and answered all of our questions promptly.


The standard of the actual installation is very high and would definitely have no problem recommending.

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
