Initially we were a bit worried that the room would be dark as we didn’t put any glass in the roof area, but it isn’t and we are now very glad that we didn’t. Having a solid roof has made a massive difference this summer as it never got too hot, it really is a proper room now and no longer a conservatory. We got a few quotes, some people frightened us as they just wanted to do a bodge job, where as Ryan filled us with confidence as he genuinely knew what he was talking about. The fitters were nice and did a good job. We have already recommend Realistic to other as we are so happy.

My advice to anyone thinking about replacing their glass roof to a solid one is to do it, it’s a no brainer. The room is probably used more than any other in the house, as it’s no longer too hot or too cold. Our only complaint is the plasterers had to come back and put right some of their work, but the rest is fine, we are definitely glad that we have had it done. Like most people we obtained 3 quotes, deciding on Realistic as the others didn’t fill us with much confidence, as well as my wife doing her online research and due diligence

Over the past couple of years we commissioned Realistic Home Improvements to install first, new external doors and then windows in our home. The advice given in choosing suitable doors combined with the complete absence of “hard sell” and a reasonable price for high quality units convinced us to use Realistic to install windows a year later. On both occasions the quoted price for the job was not the lowest but it most certainly wasn’t the most expensive and it represented the best value for money. Ryan managed our expectations very well explaining costs and timings of each installation as well as the expected performance and limitations of the final product. Given that both jobs were completed during a pandemic, in awful weather, on time, to budget and to a high standard is to the credit of the staff at Realistic who clearly take great pride in their work. The benefits of using directly employed fitting staff rather than contractors was also well-demonstrated. Post-installation support has been excellent. There have not been many problems but the odd snag we have encountered has been dealt quickly and efficiently. An excellent experience from start to finish - highly recommended. Thank you.

I called Ultra frame and they gave me Realistic name as the improved installers for our area. I looked them up and the rep came around. He was a nice chap no pressure selling, we had drawings, and the price was very competitive. We did not realize that the old poly carb roof blocked out so much light. This glass roof is so much better and being able to see the trees and sky is wonderful. The amount of light that now comes into the dining is amazing. Also, the heat from the conservatory travels all over the house. We are pleased that we chose to change the roof and pleased Realistic did it for us.

We went online and chose 3 companies, I looked at all the reviews and had all 3 companies’ come out and see me. One I dismissed as he showed on interest in my design. Realistic designed exactly what I wanted, and we went ahead. I couldn’t find the design I wanted on the website because I wanted different to everybody else. It took longer than expected to finish as it rained constantly but the fitters were wonderful and worked through it. The builder got soaked most days, but the result is stunning, we love it. I wanted somewhere to sit and read and that’s what I got. It warm even when the sun is not shinning. We are looking at having more work on our property and I have already asked if Realistic will come and quote.

We were very impressed with the CAD drawing that were produced for us. It was great to see what it would look like before we decided to go ahead. The roof looks superb. It is quieter, warmer and looks very smart. The guys that came to fit it were polite, very tidy and respected our home. We had an issue with the guttering just after it was finished, we called the office and the next day they sent 2 fitters over and they sorted the problem very quickly. We were very impressed. If we had known that you can buy glass that cleans itself and glass that is blue and keeps the heat in, we would have changed the roof sooner. We are looking forward to the summer and spending many evenings out there. We would use Realistic again without a shadow of a doubt and we would recommend them all day long. We now use the conservatory all the time were before it was too cold and never went in there.

We chose Realistic because they were local, and the price was competitive plus the product look good and sturdy. We chose grey on white windows with the same for the back door as we didn’t want it to be too dark inside, but we wanted a brightly coloured front door so yellow it was. We also had a roller shutter garage door. The guys that came to fit were very good at making sure that the carpets were always covered, and the mess was taken away daily. Everything we asked of them was carried out without complaint. The whole house looks great we are so pleased with the result. 5-star company.

We shopped around and everybody was offering a little something different with every quote but Realistic listened to what we wanted as it was a bit unusual. The conservatory had to sit over the fishpond, we wanted the fish to be able to come inside to be fed. New lintel in place the build could start. There arrived as planned with the new conservatory, we took one look and realized it was the wrong the colour, it did not match the windows of the house. We are avid environmentalists and could not see all that plastic being thrown away, so after some negotiation, compensation and compromise we went ahead, and we are so pleased that we did. The room is perfect, we love it. The fish come in and out all day long, I sit in there with dogs watching the birds and the glass roof makes it so much lighter in the kitchen. Everyone that comes to house comments on the room.

We had all of our doors and windows changed in January 2019. From start to finish the service we received from Realistic Home Improvements was excellent. Ryan was helpful, patient and provided us with plenty of choices to allow my wife and to come an informed decision concerning finish/look/style etc. The installation was planned and scheduled and the process of ordering and then installing went off without a hitch. The installation was carried out by Paul and Kadon, and their attitude and approach was outstanding. They worked well as a team and Paul’s attention to detail and finish is commendable. After inheriting draughty, poor quality, poorly fitted windows when we bought the house, it’s great to finally have windows that look great and are extremely well fitted. We took our time to decide on Realistic, but I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Realistic team to anyone. We have had a lot of great comments from neighbours and passers by and couldn’t be happier with the quality and finish of the doors and windows. A big thank you to all at Realistic, their after sales care has also been excellent.

The fitters were very nice, we had total confidence in them, nothing was too much trouble. The products are good, and we have gained a much brighter room, and best still is that it no longer leaks. furthermore we are happy with the glazing design which Ryan advised us, the larger glass panels gives us unobstructed views of the garden. 5 star performance and will happily recommend to too others.
