Easyfit Conservatories www.easyfit.co.uk

My conservatory was purchased in October 2009. The builders had almost finished the brickwork when Easyfit went into liquidation. A couple of days later I had to go away overnight and I gave the foreman a key to my back door so they could get in to use my kitchen tap. I told foreman to lock back door and put my key through my front door letter box. When I returned home Sunday morning my back door was open, and my kitchen window had been forced open using the builders spade. All my cupboards had been ransacked, my tv and a camera was taken. Upstairs my jewellery was taken, most of it was what my late husband bought me. This was something I’m still reeling from. It wasn’t till later that I realised they/he left by my back door which had been opened with my key. Definitely the builders who were employed by Easyfit. Also glass for conservatory was paid for but wasn’t ordered, so I had to pay out another £2000.

What this company did to me still affects me greatly. .

I bought a £12500 conservatory from easyfit with a Ten year guarantee and at first was very pleased with it. We have a south facing garden and a glass roof on the conservatory, in the summer it is too hot and the winter it is freezing. You can hear expansion cracking in the upvc with the result that I have had 3 Leaks in the roof. I contacted easyfit only to be told that the original easyfit had gone into administration and that the new company was not honouring the original guarantee and to contact the insurance backed guarantee company. I did and they had never heard of my address because the premium had not been paid. I have had to pay the original fitter 3 times to come in and sort out the problems and now I have discovered I have now got a leak in the roof opening. I am having windows fitted at the moment and have had another company in and they have asked me why on such a big glass roof I have no roof support bars. Another problem now that I need to sort out. I had my conservatory fitted in oct 2007 and the went into admin in 2009, why was my insurance never paid up by them??? Avoid this company as they are full of empty promises.

Easyfit like a lot of other companies including woolworths were just another victim of the credit crunch.However now they have been taken over by indigo who have been trading for 26 years and are the biggest window manufacturer in the midlands with over 2000 windows per week leaving the factory in aldrige walsall they are in safe hands for the future

a con man named clarke from easyfit came to our house took a deposit, gave us a start date,fobbed us off when we telephoned then the next month went into administration. they took our money knowing this would happen (why isnt this illegal). then they opened up again in the same show room just like they did the last time, we all lose our money.to sum up BEWARE KEEP AWAY do noy use!!!! ps i've only clicked on the stars because you have to

12 Months ago we bought a coservatory from these people at a cost of £11500.

We were given a 10 year guarantee which is now worthless (although I suspect it probably was any way). Frankly the workmanship was worse than poor and despite comprehensive feedback given to the company they didn't even acknowledge.

At end of November we rang the Company because a glazed unit was leaking and was told that an engineer would call on 14th December to measure up and arrange a replacement.I believe that the lady I spoke to knew the situation. If the Directors carried on Trading knowing that the businesss was insolvent, I believe that this is against company law and if you have a grievance then it may be worth raising the fact with the administrators.

Does this sound very familiar:

It is the second firm of its type at the site to go to the wall, after former occupiers Taylor Made - which also dealt in windows, doors and conservatories - went into administration in 2005.

The showroom was officially opened as Easy Fit Conservatories shortly after, with TV gardner Charlie Dimmock doing the honours.

But hundreds of customers who were left high and dry by Taylor Made going into administration did not see work they had already paid for completed. Bosses of Easy Fit said at the time they had taken on a handful of staff who were employed by Taylor Made.

A bit sceptical at first by some of the comments put on here. I was assured that the directors from taylor made and easy fit have gone and they only have a handful of staff who work there from before. Decided to give it go due to being the 4 - 5 grand cheaper than other companies, and haven't looked back since. While it hasn't all been great with some dates being changed i always new what was going on. My conservatory is now complete and im very happy to date with everything. 1 thing toi note i was given a 1 year fitting guarantee on installation of conservatory. The 10 year guarantee is just on the manufacturing of the frames glass roof etc. NOT the workmanship,fitting.

I read this site before I purchased my Georgian conservatory from Indigo / Easyfit. So I asked questions about some of the complaints made on here before I committed. The answers I got were open and honest from a group of people who are clearly not from the previous company and they took time to dicuss the link with Indigo. The product Indigo manufacture is superior to others I have looked at because of the Ultraframe roof, the Spectus PVC used, the Pilkington energy rated glass and the locks and handles that I learned were manufactured by another reputable manufacturer called Paddock. The supply and the co-ordination in fitting I wouldn't say was clockwork, however most of the commitments were kept and when there was an issue they contacted me and put me at ease. A good product for a great price. I can't really fault them.

Are you using your conservatory at the moment, is it nice, do you spend a lot of time in it. If the answer is yes then please write down you comments.

I believe that we as a nation have become very aware of the blame culture. Always aiming the finger at some one for something then expecting compensation. Well its time that we stopped all the moaning and got on with life.

Do you use your Easy Fit conservatory, do you enjoy it.

I am sure that Easy Fit have had several hundreds of happy customers but just havent put pen to paper. If you are reading this then you have a chance to say your peice.

A lot of people suffered when easyfit went into administration before christmas, customers and staff of the company.

For all teh happy peolpe who bought an Easy Fit conservatory and are happy with it please spend five minuets and tell every one about it. It is about time that people of England recognised that saying good job , thank you adn well done not only helps the company morale, and tells other people that sometimes in life things can be done correctly, thank you

well what can i say, they took our deposit of a thousand pounds even though they new themselves they were going bust. come the start date we just kept getting fobbed off but no mention that they were in trouble. So we have lost the money they went supposedly bust even though now it is open again with the same people working there. To sum up DO NOT USE
