First rate service from Lifestyle. We wanted a new back door in keeping with our 1912 house. They had so many options and offered advice but no pressure to buy. Survey was complete and very detailed and the two fitters worked so hard in the pouring rain to install the door. The attention to detail was excellent. They rendered around the new door frame so well that once painted it looks like the original. No hesitation in recommending this company.

We are really happy with our new sash windows that have been installed by "lifestyle windows", they look perfect on our Victorian property. Professional service from start to finish, I have no problem at all recommending this company to anyone who was thinking of having new windows fitted. We have now had the door fitted which we think compliments the windows perfectly, really happy with the result.

By Emma on 12/02/2024

We were referred to Lifestyle by George Barnsdale – as our nearest approved/recommended installer. From the start to finish of our project (4 timber windows and 1 French door), the team at Lifestyle provided incredible customer service and craftsmanship. Everyone who visited the house to either quote/survey or install the windows/door, showed great attention to detail and care in ensuring the project would be/was completed to an exceptional standard. The installation of the windows and door has made a huge difference to how warm and protected our home feels. It is not often you come across a company that demonstrates such commitment to ensuring their client is happy with the finished result – but Lifestyle are that company!! We couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

It can be quite daunting choosing a company to replace double glazing but Lifestyle made this as easy and pain free as possible. We were able to talk through what we wanted in the showroom and a surveyor came and checked all the details. No sales pressure or time tactics... everything was at our own speed and very professional. When it came to fitting the started and finished on the dates they said they would, and fitters were very experienced, friendly, polite and hard working. We are very happy with the results as the new windows and doors look great.

By Dan on 21/12/2023

Lifestyle have been great throughout the process. From an efficient, competitive quotation procedure to a thorough measurement process to then being installed. Communication from the office has always been forthcoming, brilliant service. The installation was comprehensive and a professional job, the lads were spot-on. All in all, I will be recommending Lifestyle to my friends and family.

By Ryan on 08/12/2023

We first contacted Lifestyle a couple of years ago to replace four timber single glazed sash windows and a front and rear door on our house in a conservation area with double glazed equivalents that matched the style. We initially spoke to Liz who was great and came out and gave us a quote. We had some saving up to do and planning permission to apply for, so came back to them to reprice the job at the start of the year. After we agreed to go ahead, there was a little wait for Dan to come out and do the survey but he was incredibly thorough and we felt confident that we'd made the right choice going with Lifestyle. The work was completed recently and while it took a bit longer than expected, it was all because they spent time getting the finish just right, and we're really happy with the results. Bob, Dan and the rest of the team did great work and it's made a huge difference to the temperatures in the house and the look of the property.

By Donna on 04/12/2023

Excellent service from start to finish. We ordered new front and patio doors from Lifestyle and have been very happy with the doors and the service we received. The showroom had plenty of choice and we received helpful advice from Liz when choosing our new doors, even going above and beyond to make sure we could have the specific glass we wanted which wasn't in the brochure. Communication was excellent throughout and appointments always happened as scheduled. The surveyor spent time making sure we were clear on everything before proceeding and the fitters were both professional and friendly and did a perfect job of installation. Very happy customers, would definitely use Lifestyle again.

By Cath on 25/11/2023

Massive thank you to the Lifestyle team for supplying and fitting our new door. We had to wait a little while from agreeing the sale to the surveyor visit, but, while not ideal, I guess this is a marker of how busy they are and that's no bad thing. I did gather other quotes from suppliers who would have been able to complete more quickly but I'm really glad we took the decision to wait for Lifestyle. For info, all 3 quotes I gathered were the same price within £10. From the initial contact through to post-completion, everyone we dealt with was great; thoroughly professional, and a special shout out to the fitting team who, to my surprise, left the area immaculately clean. I've held on a few weeks just to make doubly sure, but the door is perfect. No more drafts and it looks beautiful too. I would not hesitate to recommend Lifestyle.

About 15 years ago we decided to buy a conservatory. We randomly chose 3 companies to work with and quote. We decided to go with Lifestyle because they were not a multi-national firm, and we liked the way they handled our enquiry. They did a great job, so when our daughter in Leics. said that she would like a conservatory we had no hesitation in recommending Lifestyle to her. Moving on 15 years we decided to buy a house with total renovation and extension in mind. Lifestyle was first on our list to visit. We went out to quote and whilst they were not the cheapest, we chose them because we knew that we could trust them to do a good job at a fair price. We were not disappointed. Right from the very beginning until the end they kept us informed as to what was happening and shared problems along the way to a satisfactory conclusion. All the people involved with the build and window replacement were reliable, friendly and worked well together. Like any business, people are the best asset you can have. We would have no hesitation in recommending Lifestyle to anyone for window replacement, conservatories or building work.

By Daniel on 16/11/2023

Really good service throughout and happy to recommend. Would say we'd use you again... but hopefully no need unless we move!! As we're local, popped into the showroom and the staff were really helpful and informative. The chap who came to quote was thorough and able to answer all our questions (or come back to us later when he couldn't there and then). Explained the available options and identified potential issues such as lack of lintels. Certainly no pressure-selling. We did get other quotes and Lifestyle were competitive - not the cheapest, but it was the customer service compared to the others that persuaded us. The surveyor was thorough and ran through everything in detail with us and made recommendations. There was a bit of a delay to the original installation schedule but we appreciated the honest communication and explanation. This was quite a sizeable project - replacement of all windows and doors, also needing several lintels to be installed. The work went well. The "two Johnnies" were good humoured, incredibly hard working, and just cracked on. Showed pride in their work, kept the inevitable mess to a minimum, and cleaned up after themselves where it was unavoidable.

We recently had heritage PVC windows fitted by lifestyle, in replacement for our old traditional timber windows. This wasn't a decision which was made lightly as it was really important for us that the style of the property remained, however we wanted something which would require no maintenance and would look fresh year on year. The overall finish is exactly as we'd hoped and this is down to Lifestyle listening carefully to our wishes and designing the windows exactly as we described, even down the the wood grain finish and monkey tale handles inside. I'd also like to add that their quote was significantly less than other companies whilst being the only one that we found to offer the heritage collection. From the offset, we felt that we were in good hands when Damian gave us his time and knowledge in guiding us around the showroom and then visiting our home to go through the logistics. Our surveyor was also extremely professional, knowledgeable and had time for many questions and queries. There was a 3+ months wait between confirmation and fitting which was longer than expected. There were also a few touch ups to be made after installation - cosmetics and repairs, however Chris was quick to rectify at each stage and all touch ups were completed within a couple of weeks. Overall, we could not be happier with the result. The windows are exactly as we'd imagined. The colour, style and finish suits our home even more than the original timber and makes everywhere look fresh. If you have a period property, I would 100% recommend Lifestyle's heritage collection. I would choose them again without hesitation.

This is the second time I’ve bought products from Lifestyle Home Solutions. Excellent service. Cannot fault the lifestyle team, all friendly, helpful & efficient selling & installing quality products.

By charles on 11/10/2023

Lifestyle provided us with an excellent friendly professional service from start to finish in every way. Our home looks absolutely stunning and it has been transformed inside and out. Nicky & Kian were totally professional whilst working with us throughout – a credit to the company. We absolutely would and have recommended Lifestyle as an excellent choice of Company. Thank You

By Wayne on 20/09/2023

Had work done renewing my conservatory by lifestyle and have been over the moon with the end product, workmanship and professionalism of the company. We were kept up to date with what was going on and any problems were looked after straight away. We were especially pleased with the efforts made to make sure we were satisfied with every stage of the process. One of the best companies we have ever had dealings with to be honest. We would certainly recommend to anybody who wants a first class job and service done .

By Donna on 09/08/2023

We are delighted with the windows, as I knew we would be - that’s the reason we have chosen Lifestyle again. As expected, they make a massive different to the inside of the property, but I think they actually look better than the originals from the outside! John and Connor (the fitters) are a professional and courteous team who consulted us about any decisions, whilst being able to offer their own advice due to their experience. They have done an excellent job. Please pass on our thanks to them! I am aware that they are not part of the team, but I do also have to mention that I was impressed with the scaffolding company you used - Manor Scaffolding - they were again professional and kept the noise to a minimum - very unlike the last scaffolding company I used!

By pauline on 16/07/2023

From the very first contact with Lifestyle windows, the whole process of choice of doors, surveyor visit, ordering and final fitting was excellent. The door I had was a non standard size which offered no issues with this company. The choice of products was vast and the final quoted price was very reasonable The staff at Lifestyle were understanding and helpful when I moved the installation dates a couple of times. The installation team of Anthony and Daniel were superb in every aspect of their work. They were courteous, respectful and very efficient. I had one query regarding the threshold which they resolved immediately to my full satisfaction. The doors look amazing and transform how the front and back of the cottage looks. I will have no hesitation in recommending this company and their team of fitters to family and friends. I can't thank Lifestyle enough.

By Adrian on 14/07/2023

We found Lifestyle from a web search of local businesses and as they had had good reviews we visited their showroom where we could see all the products and discuss what we were looking for. We worked with Lifestyle to get to an excellent extension design as well as replacement windows for our house. Following surveys, looking at samples and many queries answered quickly, Lifestyle provided a good specification of what we agreed and the contract was professionally done and we used it through to completion as a great baseline for the subsequent works and the changes we requested. The delivered products are excellent, high quality and look stunning. The Installation teams were all very professional and finished all the work to a high standard. They were all friendly, trustworthy and a pleasure to have around the house. All snags resolved to our satisfaction. What was really good was the one stop shop service we got from the lifestyle team, they also did landscaping to tie the extension to the garden properly as well as the electrics, plastering, heating and tiling to integrate the new room to the existing house. Overall we love the extension, it’s great quality and we had excellent customer service.

By Teresa on 06/07/2023

Great service provided from start to finish. Very informative, made sure I got what I wanted throughout. All staff I spoke to were professional, friendly and very helpful throughout the application. I love the new door they have fitted, looks great.

By Ian on 30/05/2023

We recently had our front and back doors fitted by Lifestyle. The Solidors are very good quality and feel nice and solid. The installation team of Anthony and Daniel were very hard working and professional with all the work carried out to a high standard.

By Linda on 02/05/2023

We chose Lifestyle to replace our windows and front door because the quote was competitive and they were extremely helpful when we needed advice to help us choose the right products. Everyone we dealt with were the right balance of professional and personable. We are very happy with the quality of the installation. Communication was always prompt and effective. I would not hesitate to recommend the company.

By Emma on 16/02/2023

We decided to obtain a quote from Lifestyle for the replacement of all the windows and doors on the property we recently purchased after reading their excellent reviews on Which? and based on a recommendation from my folks who had used them a few years ago. Robert came to visit the property, and was excellent in advising us what to choose and what would be within our budget (unlike Stormclad who gave us a quote on what felt like the back of a fag packet)! After deciding to proceed, there were a few issues with building works, and the survey processes which meant we ended up having to wait longer than anticipated for the work to commence, some of it out of Lifestyles control. During the installation, the chaps fitting it were clean and respectful as was the plasterer who came to finish off around the bay windows. There were a few problems with a missing glass panel, door knob and handles but all were rectified within the month. Communication has been great, and Chris is super helpful and quick to respond on email. We went for the flushed sash, and Stirling door. They look absolutely amazing and make such a difference to the aesthetic of the house. Thanks again Lifestyle!

By Alison on 25/01/2023

Lifestyle fitted all our , and front door. We have been hugely impressed by the whole experience from start to finish. The house has been transformed and looks incredible now. We are very happy with every aspect of the process. The lifestyle team has been so professional and responsive throughout the process The windows and doors are of the highest quality, the installation work is also the same and to the highest standard. We were impressed that the installation was not rushed at all and that after the installation there was a quality control visit to look in detail at everything and rectify anything needed. There was no hard pressure sales at all and we were given great advice throughout. The price we paid was very reasonable and competitive. We were able to relax knowing that we were in good hands and we would definitely highly recommend lifestyle without any reservations whatsoever.

By Wendy on 18/12/2022

We chose Lifestyle to fit our new frontporch and door as we like to use local businesses. The service was excellent. Elise came and discussed with us what exactly we wanted and she explained the pro's and con's of various options. Then Daniel the surveyor came to take the exact measurements. Any queries we have had have been answered promptly. When the fitters arrived they were very friendy and obiously took pride in their work. They took care with the work and went above and beyond to give us our new porch and door. I would absolutely recommend Lifestyle as a company.

Living in a listed building meant that choosing the right window fitting company was essential to get the correct windows for my property. After I met with the conservation officer I was made aware of the specifications and design that would probably get listed building consent Lifestyle Windows fit windows made by George Barnsdale a window manufacturer in Lincolnshire. Their historic range was perfect for my property. After getting the go ahead from the conservation officer I went ahead and ordered. Lifestyle Windows were helpful throughout this process which took about 6 months. The windows arrived in September 22 and over a the next 7 days the house was transformed from old rotten 1980s windows to modern, efficient sliding sash. The workmanship was excellent with experienced fitters who took pride in their work. The windows are expensive but the quality is 5 star . The communication from Lifestyle was excellent throughout.Overall I’m delighted with my new windows fitted by Lifestyle

After a while searching for builders to complete a garage conversion and a garage extension, a friend of mine put me in touch with Lifestyle, BINGO!! From the first consultation to the build being signed off I have nothing but praise. All the teams from all the various profession's were top notch. Build quality, materials and craftsmanship from laying the foundations to roof competition was excellent and all at a very competitive price even though since covid, prices have soared. A special thanks must go to Dave the project manager. A true gent. Nothing was too much trouble and he kept us in the loop throughout. He is a credit to the company and should be proud of the way his professionalism, honesty and understanding shines through. It's a truly worrying thing to have a build like this going on but Dave was always there to advise and discuss every step of the way. If anyone is looking for a company that will get the job done look no further. Thank you all at Lifestyle. Dean

We wanted to replace our ageing and old fashioned patio doors with a fresh new look. We decided on French doors. After visiting the Ilkeston based showroom we decided what we wanted and arranged for one of the team to complete a site survey. It took quite a while for this to happen because the team are so busy which I suspect is testament to the high standards to which they operate. So my advice is be patient, it’s worth the wait. We were kept informed throughout the whole process. On the day of installation the team arrived when they said, were very friendly, polite and professional. They took their time to do a quality job and left no mess at all. Chris and the team do what they say they are going to do and by when they say they are going to do it. Pictured are a before and after view which is fully German Shepherd approved. Great work, would highly recommend and would use again with confidence. The integral window blinds on the doors really compliment the job nicely, we are delighted!

By Jon on 07/06/2022

A thoroughly professional installation. We've had new double glazing installed in two difficult bedroom bay windows and an office and had no issues from start to finish. We appreciated the level of customer service and have always felt that if we had any issues we could take them up with the company. Delivery and installation took place on time and we can't quibble with the level of hard work put in over three days. Prices relatively similar to other companies but word of mouth recommended Lifestyle and pleased we chose them. Would recommend to others thinking of similar work.

By Valerie on 01/03/2018

We had our windows done by Lifestyle a few years ago and are very pleased with them, so had no hesitation going back for a new front door. The job was completed quickly and very efficiently by the friendly team, who had come out in very bad weather conditions to keep to the promised date. The door is high quality with well finished fittings and a guaranteed security lock. Everything was left clean and tidy. We're very satisfied with the work, the way it was carried out and the price we paid.

We used Lifestyle Windows and Doors in late 2017 to supply and fit uPVC windows, roof lantern and doors to a new extension and our existing house. We were keen to install quality windows and chose a flush sash with grained white finish which looks fantastic. Having spoken with various providers, we found Chris at Lifestyle to be the easiest to deal with and his knowledge of products allowed us to choose a system which suited our needs. Chris went the extra mile with providing cost options and was always available to speak to before, during and after the work. Their fitters were particularly polite and skilled and were a pleasure to have in our house. We would highly recommend Lifestyle and they will be our first choice in the future.

By Stephen on 18/01/2018

Very professional service from original quote to completion. Detailed quote provided with every piece of information required and at a price better than all others. Work carried out to schedule with a neat and tidy finish. The replacement conservatory with Ultraframe living roof has made an amazing difference, turning a cold and unusable conservatory in the winter in to possibly the warmest room in the house. The replacement windows and door fitted at the same time have the same immaculate finish. Would highly recommend this company.

By Satisfied on 01/11/2017

"Excellent product, excellent sales staff. No pushy salesperson, just friendly people with a great product and competitive prices. Installation was great, consecutive days, good team of fitters who were very considerate and polite. Would definitely recommend and would have them back for other jobs. Finally, has made a vast improvement to the look of the house and improved warmth/reduced drafts. Thank you very much. "

By Satisfied on 17/10/2017

"The people from start to finish did all they could to make the job easy for us. Paul and Glynn two of the top fitters worked so hard for us and nothing was to much for them, They did a fantastic job for us. We would recommend Lifestyle to anyone, knowing that they will have a good experience."

By Mrs on 04/07/2017

"All the staff were very professional. The fitters did an excellent job. Electrics n plastering all sorted by lifestyle so no arranging for to do. Would recommend them and use them again. "

By Abi on 19/05/2017

"I selected Lifestyle to replace my conservatory roof as their Director, Chris Vincent showed good technical aptitude when surveying what was an unusual job - the roof having a particularly steep raking and extending almost to the house eaves from its initial design. The job price was competitive and the installation excellent, with all site operatives courteous and skilled in their work. I have no hesitation in recommending Lifestyle to anyone considering conservatory, or related works."

By Vonny & on 28/03/2017

"Lifestyle Windows are a must, look no further, No hassle no pushyness. They are an amazing team of lads. On time, hardworking ant and John window fitter was brilliant. Chris the director definitely knows his stuff, very passionate you get what's right for you. Most of all my Windows are amazing. Cheers to lifestyle will definitely be seeing you again."
