Dear Nadine
Thanks for your letter of 25th enclosing our guarantee.
We are delighted with the new Sash Windows. We have had many complimentary remarks on our new ‘wooden windows’ with people very surprised to know that they are actually PVCU!
(Just goes to show how good they are).
Thanks to everyone for bringing the project together and especially to the fitting team Andy and Richie for the way they carried out and completed the work.
We would recommend your company to anyone looking to replace their windows.
Sincerely yours

Dear Nadine
Thank you.. I received your letter and paperwork this morning. The windows & doors are excellent we are really pleased with the outcome the front door especially looks good; please pass on my thanks to the lads that fitted them they were very professional, polite and tidy it was a pleasure having them working here.
Please could you tell me the RAL number for the paint used, also should we wish to paint the inside a different colour when decorating could you tell me a paint brand name that would be suitable for both inside and out ?

I would like to recommend Admiral Homespace to potential customers reading your website. I needed a new conservatory built on an existing base but on opening the Yellow Pages I found a mine field of names and I kept putting off making any initial phone calls in case I made the wrong choice.
Fortunately I discovered that Admiral had won a business award which naturally impressed me. I now know why you won the award and I am in the lucky position of confidently passing on my experience to others who may be nervously reading testimonials.
From the first visit I was relieved to discover that you were not going to place any pressure on me to buy more than I needed or could afford, and that you would not rush me to make a quick decision. You helped me select within my budget and provided me with options which were fully explained to me.
After I made my choice your surveyor came to take the final measurements in the same friendly but business-like way. A few days later I changed my mind on a small detail but a quick phone call to your office at Alconbury sorted it out and was also dealt with in the same manner.
I now have a beautiful conservatory fitted by Dave [ the "Magician"! ]. I can't thank him enough for the brilliant way he installed it. He is truly professional working with the utmost care and attention to detail - an asset to Admiral Homespace. He had some awful weather to contend with and a problem with the existing base proved an obstacle which he cheerfully put right without complaining. The end result is a perfect room, even better than I had hoped for.
The professionalism of your team and the brilliant way everything flowed through from start to finish is an example of a great company who deserves to do well.
Thank you so much.

Hi,
Last week two men from your company came to fit a pair of French doors and a kitchen window. I just wanted to take this opportunity to express our thanks to them for doing such a fantastic job.
We are having a lot of work done at the moment and have unfortunately came across some very poor workmanship and it was such a pleasure to have two hardworking and very helpful professionals doing work. The windows were fitted quickly and efficiently and when there was a question over how to finish the kitchen widow off it was discussed with us. The two chaps then went on to work really hard to complete the job to a very high standard.
Thanks once again

I am writing to say a big thank you for the wonderful windows that you installed, during a snow storm, almost exactly a year ago. They have made such a fantastic difference and I am not sure how I would have coped without them last winter and this.
They have certainly had the toughest of trials .... and have passed with flying colours. The attached photo should be entitled 'My living room prior to my installation of Admiral Timber Windows!'
Thank you so much ...... and best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

28 November 2010 Dear All, Just a brief e-mail to tell you how delighted we are with our new windows which were installed last week. The quality and workmanship are outstanding, and the service we received from Admiral Windows throughout the process, from initial contact (via Timber Windows Blenheim showroom) through the survey, quote and then detailed site survey, to keeping us fully informed on the progress of our windows being manufactured was exemplary. Mark, Danny & Nadine at Admiral were all extremely professional & helpful throughout and the actual installers Andy, Jack & Stuart were excellent. They were extremely clean and tidy and bearing in mind that it was absolutely freezing last week, worked fantastically well. I would have no hesitation in recommending both Admiral and Timber Windows to anyone contemplating proper wood replacement windows. Many thanks & Best Regards Mr & Mrs A Campbell St Albans Herts Mr and Mrs Noon

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the great service we have received since planning permission for our conservatory was granted.
We are extremely pleased and delighted with the quality and craftsmanship of the conservatory and the way any problems along the way were rectified. Everyone involved in the building were exceptionally good and extremely helpful and we would like to pass on our thanks to them.
We have had many comments about how well the conservatory blends in with our 16th century house – no mean achievement!

Dear Glyn
A couple of weeks ago you at Admiral Homespace replaced our conservatory roof for us. We now have had the right weather to give it a good test and I just wanted to let you know what a great success it has been. It is now a pleasant, useable space, even in the current temperatures. (It looks great too after re-decoration and re-flooring).
We would also like you to know how happy we have been with the excellent service we received from you all and if possible we would be grateful if you could pass on our thanks to the surveyor and the 2 fitters for their friendly efficiency.
Thanks again.

Dear Admiral
I am writing to let you know how pleased we are with all the new installations you supplied and fitted for us last year. As you know, we have had a complete set of new windows, new roof and doors of the conservatory, renewal of an area of flat roof, and new front and back doors. From start to finish everyone in the team at Admiral was courteous and helpful. Stuart gave us valuable advice without ever making us fee under pressure, and the installation team was excellent. Dave, who carried out the major part of the work, was both highly skilled and unfailingly obliging. We greatly appreciate the quality of your products, the expertise of your staff and the good customer relations that you encourage. A few minor administrative blips were quickly and good-naturedly sorted out. We would recommend Admiral to anybody.

Dear Steve
I am writing to congratulate your team for the professional approach to my fitted window experience. The windows and patio door more than met my expectation in terms of quality appearance and expert installation. After other company sales persons visits who demonstrated amusing selling techniques, we were joined by Glyn. He up sold us all the way, with bags of technical knowledge and product understanding. Glyn carefully sold us his enthusiasm he had for the Evolution product ensuring other competitor product presentations fell far short of his standard. He made reference several times to Admiral being a non pressure selling company without losing sight of agreeing the next stage. Glyn was a pleasure to deal with and was accessible and obliging when required.
Your operations back up staff are excellent, keeping us notified of all the agreed stages. Good communication is key to providing good service and your company win hands down against other companies we have used. Daniel visited and very thoroughly surveyed the requirements. Daniel was courteous, informative and a good ambassador to your company. Once again Admiral's customer facing staff portrayed excellent attitude and Daniel's professionalism showed.
I would like to make an apology to both Glyn and Daniel for our own misunderstanding on the product detail. Glyn and Daniel were more than obliging to clarify our questions and both reacted swiftly to clarify our over concern.
Steve, I would have no issue what so ever to recommend your company to any of our friends or family and wish to thank you for what has been a pleasing experience spending money!
Well done the Admiral team!
Testimonial
We selected Homespace by Admiral of Alconbury by surveying over 30 potential conservatory providers in Cambridgeshire. We travelled from our main home in Melbourne Australia expressly to meet and inspect four short-listed companies. Admiral impressed from the start with personal and professional attention to detail in planning, construction options, conformity with our existing structure and garden, explanations, and clarity of its proposed work schedule. The work was outstanding in every respect including associated trades and finished with a tiling job as good as we have seen in many years of renovating houses in both Australia and England. At the conclusion the job was beautifully cleared and cleaned ready for use on time and on budget precisely. I am pleased to endorse Admiral as a company of the highest standards in care attention construction and any requisite follow-up. I am also pleased to amplify this opinion by direct email contact at n.norman@unimelb.edu.au

Dear Sir
I feel I must write to you and tell you how delighted I am with the new windows your company has provided to match existing ones provided by you some years ago.
My husband is presently in hospital so it has been nice for me to report progress to him during the last 2 days and I am sure he will be equally pleased with the end result when we get him home.
Your installer, Dave, has worked exceptionally hard to complete the job single handedly in the two days allotted and I can't praise him too highly. He has been kind and courteous in my dealings with him and put in long hours, being here from 8.00 am until long after 5.00 pm each day.
Many thanks to all concerned.
Yours sincerely

Dear Sir / Madam,
I write on behalf of Peter and Lily Hollingsworth for whom your company recently carried out a service on their double glazed window and doors.
Lily is profoundly deaf and Peter has a medical condition, the effect of which can mean that at times, he can be irrational and a difficult person to deal with, which was the reason for my presence on the day the service was undertaken.
I am writing to tell you how impressed we were by Dan Webster, your rep who carried out the work. Not only was the servicing carried out in an efficient and professional way, but Dan’s attitude to them was friendly and kind without being patronising towards what are in effect a vulnerable couple.
Kind Regards

We wanted to thank you for the excelled work you did on our conservatory, starting with the help we received from Stuart in getting the design absolutely right, to the clean at the very end. At every stage the work was carried out professionally, with little inconvenience to ourselves.
A special mention must go to Steve who did the floor tiling, who had to work under the horrendous conditions of an extremely hot day and a plague of hover flies! He never stopped and never once complained.
We are extremely pleased with our conservatory and are looking forward to many years of enjoying our new room.
With thanks to you all.

Just a brief note of appreciation to all the men involved in our double glazing adventure! Each one of them was extremely hard working, polite and friendly and wasted no time in getting on with the work in hand, cleaning up at the end of each day.
We are delighted with the finished result and send our thanks to each one.

I wanted to put into writing a huge thank you for presenting us with a conservatory that not only exceeds our expectations, but most important of all a thumbs up to the excellent service that we received. We carried out our own survey to find out about your reputation before hand and we were not disappointed.
From the start, Stuart Mills sold us the product and what I mean by that is he put us totally at ease, we had an instant connection with him and he made us feel like we were talking to a friend rather than trying to sell us something. You have to feel that you trust the person you are dealing with from the start and it is down to him that we set you apart from the rest.
The speed and involvement that followed was great, the builders I have to say were second to none, they worked so hard and they were always tidy and friendly, we were very impressed with them and they set the precedence for the whole company.
Again, having Martyn as our connection and Project Manager put our minds at ease, he really gave us all the support we needed and continually kept us informed of the dates and progression on the conservatory, nothing was too much trouble and he really is a great asset to your company.
All the way through the construction, you met your pre-arranged dates and what really impressed us was when we had thought that we had come to the end and everything was being finished off, Kate rang (your Customer Service Manager) to arrange to come and oversee that everything that had been done and any outstanding issues were highlighted, she even came after our work time which was so convenient for us, she was very informative and we were able to share with her our experiences. This was the icing on the cake!!
I could not complete this without a mention of the product and this was another reason for buying from you, keeping ahead of the game on the design and specifications put you ahead of the rest. The choices you gave were great and we got exactly what we were looking for, an all weather perfect room as an important addition to the house.
To sum up, it is rare that you can say that a British company exceeds expectations, I would fully recommend you to anyone that I speak to and it is really great to be able to tell you so. Thanks once again for your excellent product and service.
With Kind Regards

I am writing to let you know how very pleased we are with our new windows and doors, they make a terrific difference aesthetically, security wise and to the temperature in the house! We have also been very pleased with the quality of service we have received throughout. Could you please pass on our thanks to Stuart for the initial discussions and order, and also the workmen we had who were very hard working, efficient and friendly throughout.
We will have no hesitation in recommending you to our friends.
Thank you again

I am writing to express my satisfaction with my recently completed conservatory and with Admiral as a company. From our initial visit to your show site, to the final clean, the whole operation was carried out in a very friendly and professional manner.
In particular, I would like to thank Frank for his help in designing the conservatory, Martin and Paul for their help and advice during construction, Jake and his assistant and all of the building team who did a really clean and professional job.
We were really impressed with the communication during the project, every trade turn up on time as arranged, and every telephone call was returned when promised.
Very well done and many thanks for a job well done.

A brief note to thank you for the excellent conservatory, which is now complete.
It is a rare pleasure these days to deal with a company that does what it promises at the time and on the day that it promises.

We recommended your company to a number of neighbours and will have no hesitation in doing so in the future.

My wife and I recently purchased a conservatory from Admiral and wanted to say how pleased we are with the finished product.
All of the Admiral team with whom we dealt were professional and, indeed, very flexible. This was especially important because, in the same timeframe, we had a new kitchen fitted and the dividing wall between it and our new conservatory demolished to provide an open plan arrangement. This, of course, required close co-ordination in order to ensure that the work progressed smoothly, and I must make special mention of your Installation Manager, Martyn Watkins, who was extremely helpful throughout the whole project.
Also, we found your tradesmen and contractors to be helpful, courteous and very efficient – as well as eager consumers of the vast quantities of tea and coffee, which we offered them!
Once again, we are delighted with our new conservatory and are very grateful to you and your staff for the quality of the work, which has been carried out. We would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Admiral to others.

Firstly, I apologise for the long delay in sending this short letter, but I would like to say thank you all very much for the conservatory that you built for us last year.
From our first visit to your show room to the final inspection, the people that had dealings with us were nothing but helpful and polite. The site was kept clean and tidy and the fuss to a minimum. I would especially like to thank Stuart Mills for his advice concerning the design of the conservatory, the tradesmen for putting up with the access problems that they had and their skill and professionalism in the respect of the construction.
We are now using it as a dining room, which is what we wanted and the size is just right. Yours was not by any means the lowest quote we had, but the whole experience reflected that and I would strongly recommend you and your company to anyone that was looking to erect a conservatory on their property.
Again, thank you very much and wish you all every success in the future.

Just a line to say thank you for our new conservatory, to say that we are pleased would be a massive understatement.
Would you also pass on our thanks to all of the trades that worked on our project, from the ground workers to the finishing trades, they were all a credit to your company. Having worked in the construction industry for over thirty years we know how difficult it is to get competent tradesmen.
Finally, please send our regards to Frank who was a pleasure to deal with and gave us all the right information at the start.
We have ordered blinds with Kate, which will give the conservatory the final touch.
Thank you once again, we would have no hesitation in recommending your company to relative or friends.

I felt I must write to tell you how very pleased I am with the quality of the windows that have been installed together with the professional service provided by you and your fitters. Having suffered badly by another local firm I was naturally nervous and cautious about having another firm to put things right. I am pleased to say your quality of windows and workmanship was superb. I am more than happy to highly recommend your firm.
As mentioned above, two years ago I had another local double glazing firm, which was a member of FENSA to install some double glazing. Most of the window frames were too small and therefore required up to four frame extensions just to reach the plaster line. One frame was too big and was bent to fit in the aperture. I requested a site meeting with their surveyor, who conceded only the bent window was wrong and that I had not let the fitters finish off the other windows. When I produced a survey from a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Surveyors, their surveyor said perhaps they had not fitted them properly. Although I requested on several occasions for them to rectify the problems, they chose to ignore it. I was therefore forced to take them to court, which resulted in them being found guilty.
