Pleasant staff delivering high quality products.
After contacting Planet about our needs, a representative came round soon after to offer ideas and to explain the process. Once things got underway, a second person came round to ‘measure up’. Both were polite and friendly and explained things clearly.
A date was given for installation but this was not suitable for us. It was no problem re-scheduling and the installation was completed quickly on the appropriate day. The installer was, again, polite and friendly and the workmanship was excellent. No touch up to paint work needed which was amazing. Very pleased with the finished product.

SLAM SHUT DOORS, DREADFUL
IT STARTED WITH THEM SUPPLYING THE WRONG WINDOWS, WE MADE A DEAL WITH THEM AND ACCEPTED THE WINDOWS. HAD A FRONT AND BACK DOORS FITTED, CALLED "SLAM SHUT DOORS" AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE. SLAM THEM TO CLOSE OR LOCKS DO NOT FULLY ENGAGE. ENGINEER BEEN BACK NUMEROUS TIMES TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AND WE ARE STILL LEFT WITH DOORS REQUIRING YOU TO SLAM THEM. "WE WISH WE HAD NEVER HEARD OF PLANET HOME IMPROVEMENTS". IT HAS TAKEN FOUR MONTHS TO GET TO WHERE WE ARE NOW. ARE WE SATISFIED NOT A CHANCE. WE HATE THESE DOORS

We are sincerely sorry for the prolonged delays and frustration you experienced with the ongoing issues with your front and back doors. We fully understand how disappointing it is to still feel dissatisfied after multiple engineer visits, and I accept that this fell short of the service you should have received.
Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused. We regret that this experience has overshadowed what should have been a positive home improvement and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
We have reviewed this case carefully and have since made changes to our internal processes to improve communication, coordination, and response times, with the aim of preventing similar delays for customers in the future.
Thank you for your patience,

Serious issues with aftercare
We had our conservatory upgraded in June 2025. We immediately encountered issues and reached out to them for assistance. Most of the problems were eventually resolved, but we are still facing significant issues with the doors they installed. 6 months later they either won't shut properly or lock at all. We have phoned, emailed and been into the store and now filled in a complaints form. Still waiting for the doors to be fixed.

New Windows
I had a great experience with Planet, as I had a new front door fitted earlier this year and then decided to have all my windows renewed. They completed the job very quickly and the quality was exceptional.
I did have one issue with the frosted window in the Bathroom as you could see through a very tiny hole, but because it was in my eyeline I could see it all the time. They had no hesitation in replacing this pane, which is due to be installed shortly.
I always like to use a local business if I can.

Superb swift service
Made a call due to lack of response from another company. Advised about Planet so made the call. Rep was here in a few days. Knew his stuff. Guided me on window design which was different from what i thought i wanted but seeing it virtually on the computer it was clear he was right. Few days after the surveyor turned up. 6 weeks later wi ndows fitted on the date given. Luckily no manufacture delays. Two lads turned up so ftoendly. Windows fit. Left clean and tidy. Couldnt have been a more simple and streamlined service. More windows and doors to do next year and i will without doubt go to Planet SL. Girl in showroom fab too who took my payment.

I decided that I could not spend another winter with draughty kitchen windows and a back door which I could see fresh air around . Now I have a very smart back door and kitchen windows and no draughts! I'm delighted with the results . Planet were very professional from the initial consultation. I was especially impressed with the surveyor's visit to check the proposed job and ensure there would be no surprises at the time of fitting.

Great service and products.
From start to finish they did an excellent job and the salesman Andy was really helpful with ideas regarding the design of the windows that we hadn't considered. We had all the windows and a door replaced in tranches over a year and each time the fitters were very efficient and tidied up afterwards. The house looks new now.

Replacement Windows
From start to finish the communication was excellent, nothing was too much trouble, and even the surveyor took his time, listened and then confirmed to us the changes that we asked for. When the windows were installed Austin was extremely professional, polite and treated our home with respect. We will definitely be using Planet South Lakes in the future for all our windows and door needs. Thank you so much.
