    We brought from Realistic as we were impressed with the salesman, no hard sell. He knew what he was talking about. Also, Realistic arranged for us to visit another customer of theirs who had the same sort of roof we were looking at. That really did sell it to us. It was great to see what it would look all finished. We had the back wall plastered to match the roof which made the whole room look complete. We also had all the LED’s put-on dimmers plus wireless speakers in the roof. We are so pleased we have had it done now, it did take a bit longer than we expected, but the weather was awful at the time. The fitters worked hard all the time they were here, they were polite and respectful, a joy to have around. We have already recommended Realistic to friends and will continue to do so.

    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.

    I found Realistic on the website, then looked at their website and had someone come out to give us a quote. We only wanted a roof at the beginning, but it was not much more to have new windows frames as well, so we did, and we are so pleased that we did as it all looks lovely and new. We went over to the showroom to have a look at how it would look when finished, that was good to get a picture of what we would be having. We did have to wait a bit due to the bad weather and they were running behind. Which couldn’t be helped, once it was started it didn’t take long to put up at all. The fitter worked really hard from as soon as they got here. It I had to find fault it would be that they left small bits on the grass after there clear up, which we found later. The new conservatory is so much quieter than before, I can’t even hear when it is raining, and it is warmer as well. We love to sit in there and watch the grandchildren playing in the garden.

    Both the builders and the installers are a credit to the company, they work hard and do good work. The builders were building the base on the hottest day of the year but they didn’t stop. Our neighbours who have seen it have said they have a bit of conservatory envy. We love the look of the room, it stands out and I often catch myself looking at it when I come back from walking the dog. We also had a door which we love, the colour especially, Paul and Kayden again did an excellent job especially scribing in the trim. Only real suggestion is we could have been better with communicating at times. More than happy to recommend Realistic 4/5. Very happy with the end result, as it’s excellent quality

    We wanted a tiled roof with a certain pitch and Realistic said they could do it and yes, they did. The whole room is over 9 meters long at the back of the house. Realistic were very accommodating during the build as we had to go away for a couple weeks right in the middle of the build, so everything was left securely and resumed the moment we got back. Everything we asked them to do, like put boards up over doors, clear the rubbish every day, look out for the cat was adhered to. The room was finished to a high standard, there was few bits I asked them to come and finish off which they did no problem at all. It is most used room in the house, everybody loves sitting out in it.

    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 were very impressed with the initial consultation, the computer programme showed us what the new room would look like, and we could add glass in the roof where we wanted. We are pleased that we opted for the larger panes of glass as it now provides us a better view of the garden in particularly, the bird table. The new room is usable all year round, which it wasn’t before. The finish product is to a high-quality professional standard, it’s very modern in comparison to the old one. The project wasn’t completely smooth sailing, there were issues along the way, but they have always come back and sorted them out. A couple of people have been around to look at the finished job, we are very happy to recommend.

    I know that we made the right decision as the room is just like we saw in the brochures, it’s exactly what we wanted. This is a proper room and doesn’t suffer with the problems that the old conservatory did, it no longer gets too hot or too cold and it’s much quieter especially in the rain. When it has been cold outside the new radiant heaters have kicked into effect and taken the chill off the room. The fitters were great with an exceptional eye for detail. My only minor complaint would be I would have preferred more communication and to have been told officially when the work was complete.

    We wanted Roc door like our daughter, she had brought hers from Realistic and it was perfect. We liked the security it offered, being made of metal inside. We had the door fitted by a wonderful young man, who halfway through the procedure found a defect on the door. Which meant we could not keep that door. A new door was ordered to replace this one, no problem. The new one arrived, and a different fitter came to install the new door. The door looks lovely and people walking past have commented how nice it looks. But just lately it has started to catch on the bottom, and we are having to have someone to come out and have a look at it. Hopefully it will be all sorted shortly. But besides that, the door is fantastic, and we have had good service throughout our involvement with Realistic. I have told many people where the door has come from, I have no problem recommending Realistic in the further.

    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.
