Written by the company

VELFAC is the UK’s leading brand of composite windows and doors, specified for the slim and uniform frames, contemporary style and exceptional thermal performance. At VELFAC, we are dedicated to creating socially useful products that bring visibility, daylight and fresh air into people lives, while reducing the need for energy for heating, lighting and mechanical ventilation. We are working persistently to optimise all stages of our products' life cycle – and, with a wide range of focused initiatives, we want to have a major influence on the common effort towards a more sustainable future for the building industry. For example: We only use FSC®-certified wood in the production of windows and doors, and all the wood tratments are water based; 2/3 of the aluminium used in VELFAC profiles is manufactured using renewable energy sources, and approx. 40% comes from recycled sources; The VELFAC slim frame profile allows up to 15% more light to enter the interior, providing a better daylight contribution and a reduced need of artificial light; Our windows have an expected lifespan of up to 60 years if maintained properly. This helps to reduce the turnover of building materials and therefore reduce the carbon footprint on the environment. For more info about our windows and doors visit www.velfac.co.uk

Excellent service from start to finish

Easy to contact. Telephone support as well as online available. Received excellent guidance on next steps and was kept fully informed each step of the way.
Even though the house was new to us Velfac were able to identify the windows/doors from the registration number stuck to the windows.

Amazing service

Our Velfac window came adrift from its hinge after 11 years. The window was stuck ajar and hanging askew three floors up. I am pleased to say Velfac customer service responded to my late night email the next morning with astonishing efficiency. The 12 year warranty covered the repair. Within 36 hours, everything is now working again. I cannot thank them enough for the prompt, no-quibble approach to repairs, prioritising safety. I am also grateful to Jon for the email after working hours to keep us informed of his arrival time the following morning. When most repairs involve endless hassle, Velfac stands out as the wonderful exception.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We're truly glad we could resolve the issue quickly and safely — especially given the challenging situation with the window three floors up. It’s great to hear that our team responded promptly and that your warranty provided the peace of mind and coverage needed. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Jon as well — going the extra mile to keep customers informed is exactly what we aim for. Your feedback means a lot, and we're proud to have been the exception in a moment that really mattered.

New Keys for Velfac Casement door

My new home benefits from rather beautiful Velfac triple glazed doors. However, I quickly realised that my dog could open one of the casement doors from the inside, and because I hadn't been given a key for the security lock, there was no way to secure it shut (or keep the dog inside)!
I contacted Velfac and they were super helpful and quick to help, informing me that a key would be put in the post immediately. True to their word, 2 new keys arrived a few days later - and they work perfectly!
Thank you!

Excellent product and outstanding customer service

I have referred back to Dovista Service having had Rationel Windows installed as part of a new build 20 years ago. I spoke to Stephen in the support team and he could not have been more helpful! Looking back at project details of 20 years ago and helping identify the parts we needed. Nothing was too much trouble - amazing service. Thank you!

ANT INFESTATION through unreliable and unsatisfactory sliding door

We bought a new build property exactly 4 years ago, unfortunately it was fitted with Velfac doors and windows.

After less than 4 years of use, our sliding backdoor does not function properly because the mechanism does not slide over when closing and screws have come loose.

I have contacted Velfac to fix the door sliding mechanism but have been told that this is now "out of warranty" because the developer installed it 1-2 years before we moved in, pushing it over the 5 year warranty deadline.

So I have asked for a quote 2 weeks ago for Velfac to replace this mechanism on the door and since then - we are still yet to receive a simple quote.

We are now horrified to find a daily infestation of ants is coming into our home through the door mechanism because the mechanism is not airtight/sealed/closing properly.

We are extremely disappointed in the service and product quality - slow, unreliable and probably costly (should we ever receive this quote that we've asked for).

Once we move, we can't see how we can consider using Velfac again due to its unreliability and poor quality.

Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear about the issues you’ve encountered with your sliding door. As the product is now outside its original warranty period, our team is working to provide a quote for the parts and service needed, and we appreciate your patience in the meantime.

To help move things forward, we encourage you to contact our Service Manager, Chris Newton, directly at cjn@dovista.com. He will be happy to assist you further.

A really professional service

I can't fault the service. Miles and his colleague were friendly and mega efficient in getting the job done. Michal in the office was also prompt in getting everything organised.

We had a broken door lock and handle which made it impossible to open. Velfac was very fast in response and sent their sub contractor ASD Servicing out to us the next day. Eddie was their engineer and he was able to unlock the bolts of the door and reactivate the mechanism. It was a very good piece of work which at one point looked extremely awkward. Very pleased with this and the speed with which it was done. Two days.

This is a review for ASD Servicing

This is a review for ASD Servicing.

I have Velfac windows in my flat and several of them were not closing properly and a few of the locking mechanisms were broken. Velfac referred to me ASD Servicing to resolve.

ASD sent an engineer around who was helpful, professional and sorted out all the issues very quickly. The engineer also took time to explain how to maintain the windows myself. All in all a great experience. Highly recommended.

Rationale Windows: Product & Service

We have Rationale windows at our property. I’ve had issues with them - specifically door mechanisms, seals and the poor quality “click” vents housee in the widow frames for ventilation.

The other side of this scenario is the support I’ve received when seeking resolution to the issues. Stephen Phippard in particular has been exceptional in helping me with every single one.

I may not be enamoured by the product - especially as they’re not cheap - but I can only applaud the excellent service I’ve received on multiple ocassions from Stephen Phippard.

He’s a credit to the organisation he represents, and he has my gratitude.
