Absolute joke
Absolute joke. 2 new doors fitted, difficulty closing and locking. Both were bowed and eventually replaced with planets "upgraded" doors. Within weeks the front door was giving us problems latching, engineer came out & adjusted the keep, still not right. The door was checked for bowing and warping, manufacturers tolerance is 5mm, ours was over 10mm. "Morning,
Just an update,
The report from Jon has gone to our suppliers and the door manufacturer and we are currently awaiting their response.
I will keep you informed.

Barry Rowbotham. 4 weeks have passed, 2 emails sent, not so much as a reply. We have no intention of letting this go.

We had an issue with the lock on our Planet installed door.
I called Planet and was advised they would send someone out to look at it. The visit was easy to arrange, the technician was on time and polite. The work he needed to do was explained to me and quick to be carried out. Very happy

Planet Home Improvements Conservatory Ordering and Build Review
The process from visiting Planet’s showroom in Kendal through to ordering our new conservatory was relatively faultless. There were a few ‘order clarification’ phone calls that didn’t take place as promised but these were all resolved easily, though later than promised.
When the build began we were blessed with perfect, though perhaps slightly too hot weather for the construction team. This meant there were no breaks in the build process, which would have happened during bad (rainy) weather.Consequently, the build was completed slightly earlier than planned.
The quality of the build was superb, OK, there were one or two areas that required some post build snagging work, but that’s part of the completion process, and they were carried out quickly over a couple re-visits by one or two guys from the build team.
We now have a smart new conservatory which we are using on a daily basis.

It's great to know the project was completed ahead of schedule and that any snagging items were resolved promptly by our team. We're especially pleased that you're already enjoying your new conservatory every day.
Thank you once again for choosing Planet and for your recommendation. We hope you enjoy your new living space for many years to come.

Terrible after service …
We had windows fitted about 7 months ago. The sill joint has cracked in 2 places along with the strip between the windows about 3 months ago. I have contacted the company 3 times now over the past 3 months and they just keep telling me it is being passed back to the guy who did the initial survey. To date no has got back to us. The window was also not as described when the survey was completed. Shocking after care and warranty. I would not use again or recommend. Replying to these poor reviews by the company saying they are sorry is a waste of everyone’s time. Improve your customer aftercare.

Excellent service from our first visit to Planet…
From our first visit to the Planet Showroom in Kendal we were impressed. We were greeted by a friendly polite receptionist who listened to our queries. A home visit was arranged and a salesman came to visit us. Again he was friendly and helpful - and professional. He explained all the options for us, showed us brochures and took details. Subsequently we were visited by a Surveyor who took very detailed measurements and helped us to choose items like door handles. We were given a date for the work to commence and all the finance details.
Work commenced on an agreed date. First visit from an electrician to remove the light and doorbell. Then on the agreed date the Fitter arrived on time. He spent three days with us, as agreed, and worked in a friendly and professional manner to erect our new porch, including a pitched roof. He was Farley, and he paid great attention to detail. It was a pleasure to have him at our home. When he had completed his work he took away all the rubbish from our old porch. The site was left clean and tidy. He then contacted the plasterer who did an excellent job which took about a day. The next visit was from a carpenter who carried out woodwork. The electrician returned to install a new ceiling light. Finally when the job was complete we were visited by a cleaning team.
We are absolutely delighted with the finished job. It looks good and the materials are of a very high quality. We were finally contacted by the office to arrange final payment.
We have no hesitation in recommending Planet Home Improvements and will certainly contact them again for any work we require in the future.

Nice Job
I had all my windows replaced by Planet Home Improvements. Although all the windows were replaced in one day, the window sills, a vent and a window handle hadn't been received from the factory when they came to install the windows. This meant I had to wait another few days for the window sills to be fitted, and another week before they came to fit the missing vent and window handle. It would have been better if they had waited until they had received everything before coming to replace the windows. Apart from that the windows look good and the people involved in installing them, were friendly, polite and worked efficiently.

Friendly installers who never stopped working for 2 days. Did an excellent job although there was a hiccup with the size of some of the frame (not particularly anyone’s fault). New frame part manufactured that day and delivered the next.Fitters made good and the new glass that had to be ordered was fitted the following week. Cleaning team came a couple of days later and was left with an excellent sparkling conservatory.
