BUYER BEWARE.... AVOID
We used Peak at the end of 2025 to remove a window and replace it with a sliding door at the rear of our home. The job also involved removing and blocking up the old back door, making good interior and exterior walls and building steps outside the new back door.
Having initially requested a price to supply and fit the new door, Peak informed us that they could do the whole job. They stressed that they regularly do jobs of this nature and that they could complete the job in 2-3 days. Happy enough we decided to proceed and, against our better judgement, we met their demands for payment in full before the works commenced.
Mid November 2025, materials arrived on time and the job began as agreed. Day one went well. The new door was of good quality and installed promptly but the builders failed to turn up on day two or three. After the weekend the builders returned to remove and block up the old back door. This is when our problems began. The quality of the work was of such a low standard it was dangerous!!!
To begin, the blocks in the old doorway were arranged in two vertical columns and not offset. The blocks were not tied off anywhere to the existing structure of the house. Instead of mortar the builder used expanding foam between courses of blocks and to fill the gaps between new and existing walls. Even still we were left with a number of large holes in this new block work. From the outside it was obvious that the wall was bowing out as it was being built and in places the blocks were sticking out further than the existing exterior plasterwork.
I spoke to the builder about our concerns at the beginning of day three and questioned if he had the necessary skills to complete the job. He assured me that he would rectify the issues. He did not. He couldn't finish the exterior plaster work and the internal plastering was of such a poor quality that it began to crack immediately when drying out.
There were very obvious faults with almost everything aspect of the job. They neglected to use a finishing trowel on the concrete steps outside the door, leaving us with a dangerous trip hazard. The concrete cill outside the new door immediately started to crack and break away. The reveals around the door are so badly finished it looks as if they were done by a bare hand.
It's as if the builder didn't have the very basic tools, levels, trowels etc., to finish the job properly.
I contacted Peak with my concerns, sent them images and requested that somebody from Peak come out to inspect the work. A few days later a "Director" from Peak visited our house and agreed that work was of such a poor standard that it would have to be taken down and redone. He also promised to email a full outline of remedial works required. I have yet to receive this email.
After a couple of days we were contacted by a third party builder representing Peak Windows to carry out the remedial works. He visited our home to inspect the job and told us he would be in touch to organise a start date.
As of April 2026 there have been no remedial works carried out and we are now in a situation where we have had to make alternative arrangements to get our home back to an acceptable and safe standard. It is also worth mentioning that during that period we had just one follow up call from Peak to inquire about the status of the outstanding works.
After this experience I would advise anyone who is considering using Peak Windows to AVOID them at all costs. Customer care is non existent, they greatly exaggerate their ability to complete works, employ cowboys but most importantly they did, without any conscience, take our money, damaged our home and left us to fix the mess they left behind!!!!
AVOID, AVOID, AVOID
