Very Poor Experience
It has taken 13 months to finally get our veranda and blinds installed and the multiple leaks fixed. We have had delays, measuring errors, fitting errors, failed remedial works and 8 separate visits. They have offered us £350 in compensation on a total of over £22k. I wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy!
Yes we too have just had a Wintergarden fitted in September 2023. Still unable to use as numerous defects, some of which have been addressed however the leaks are never ending, not just small leaks. Not fit for purpose can’t use it and have never used it as we intended to. Co returning once again to stop the leaks!!!!!
Think it’s time to speak to my lawyer

Few Years Later And The Same Issues - Ignoring And Bulling T
The company surveyor made mistakes on the hand drawings and did not listen to our requirements even though we restates the required size. So, the last part did not fit and their office silenced the surveyor, so he does not admit his mistake. They continued to ignore the issue and had to be chased for completion. Finally started to blame us for signing the survey which is something that has to be done in less than five min and not explained properly. This company turns 800K per week and yet is not open to listen to is customers or negotiate for correcting their own unfinished work. Do not sign a contract with them and do not pay anything before is completed. If you have to deal with them, do record your conversation with the surveyor as they will claim otherwise.

Superb Service Throughout. Knowledgeable Surveyor,
Superb service throughout. Knowledgeable surveyor, who took our ideas and turned them into reality with appropriate suggestions. The team drpm Huddersfieldarrived in good time and worked together amazingly well. Our veranda and porch were erected without any fuss with individual using his skills to support and contribute to the whole team. All the men were professional, polite and highly skilled and completed the work expertly and with amazing attention to detail. We are thrilled with the end prices and the whole experience was positive and enjoyable. The site was left clean and tidy with no evidence of building work. We would recommend them to anyone who wants a veranda or porch with a high quality and professional finish and workmanship.
What nonsense! I am a retired professional who has better things to do than make up lies. I cannot fault the quality of my veranda/conservatory or my porch and even our quality-conscious neighbours in Haxby have remarked on how good the work is and how considerate the workers were. I write as I find and observe that customers receive the service they deserve. Perhaps you were not so deserving.

Fabulous Wintergarden!!
We have just had a Wintergarden fitted. We are so impressed by the product, the attention to detail, but more especially by the installation team from Huddersfield. They are absolutely professional and worked so hard with a minimum of disturbance. The Wintergarden is finished to a very high standard and we are absolutely delighted.

Winter Garden Hayling Island
The installation team from Huddersfield, have just finished installing my new winter garden. They were exceptional workers working through wind, sun and sleet to complete it to a very high standard. They were very friendly and ensured I was happy through out the build explaining things as they went along. Excellent service. Now looking forward to using it.

Do Not Trust Them
Firstly never use them!!
My mothers who is 72 and looks after my dad who has dementia and was thinking of getting a veranda fitted so they could sit outside and get some fresh air and contacted Crocodile for a quote.
A salesman from Crocodile arrived, my mum stated at the start she was only looking for a quote and explained that my dad had dementia and would get upset if he stayed more than 1hr, after 1 hr my dad became upset which upset my mum, Crocodile salesman was asked to leave he would not leave until he had the sale, mum got so upset she signed the form and payed a small deposit, the deposit turned out to be £4500 total cost of the veranda was £8500.
The next person to arrive was the architect who stated the drawings were wrong and the price would have to increase, at this stage I found out about the purchase as I was visiting my mum, she was promised that the price would not increase!! letter later arrived stating it had increased £500 and because she had signed the contract she had to pay for it, my mother payed this without telling family as she was embarrassed that she had getting into this predicament.
When the family finally found out we persuaded her to cancel the contract, they accepted this and we thought it was all over and done with. We got a local contractor to fit an lovely veranda for £2800 which was as good as the Crocodile equivalent, weeks later we got a phone call stating the veranda had been fabricated and they were taking her to court for the rest of the money, the family were happy with this as we were confident we would win the case, however over the next few weeks numerous phone calls and letters from Crocodile were too much.
I received a phone call from her one day saying she was so upset and stressed that she had pated the rest of the bill.
This company preys on the elderly and venerable do not them.

Beautiful Glass Veranda
Crocodile installation from Huddersfield has just finished installing our glass room in one and a half days. We can see that all the parts have brilliantly engineered and the team have put it together efficiently and promptly. A great team, working together brilliantly well, finished in less than two days. The finished product looks beautiful. We are very happy with the result.
Q&A
What sort of price range is a winter garden?
I have a steel framed constructed bungalow which has a very fragile exterior render. Has any one had a glass verandah supplied and successfully fitted by Crocodile?
Does a Crocodile Wintergarden get very hot in summer and/or very chilly in winter? We have a south facing garden so it would get a lot of sun. Would welcome any comments from owners who have had a Wintergarden for a year or more. Can you really use it all year round?
I have a glass canopy and if you are south facing a blind over, NOT UNDER, the roof will be required as the heat will be quite intense. Being glass it will get cold in the winter so electric heaters will be required. Not a gas heater as this may cause a lot of condensation.
Regrettably I have had a very bad experience with crocodile not building my installation square at all so be advised that if you have a complex product do NOT sign anything until you have seen a factual drawing of exactly what you require and take a copy of it then and there.
I was NEVER given a copy of any drawing at the time as it was deliberately withheld from me for months. Not at all professional.
The surveyor NEVER showed me ANY drawings at all and asked me to initial a tatty piece of unexplained artwork and Crocodile have insisted that my signature is proof that I accepted what they were providing. I was completely in the dark and deliberately miss-led.
A professional surveyor has stated that my installation needs pulling down and two credit card companies agree that it is not of mercantile quality.
The Judge at Brighton County Court has earmarked a full day for the case to be heard. Crocodile has attempted to bully me into accepting a very poor construction which has been going on for now over a year and has been detrimental to my health.
Any dealings with sales person should be recorded, you will have proof of what is said.
This request may have come from crocodile, it will be passed to the Court.
Crocodile may have done some very good installations as others have but do read other reviews so you can make your own mind up.
Is this a company of good repute?
