Customer Testimonials

Our customer feedback is very important to us. We are firm believers in that you are only as good as your last job. We always endeavour to go above and beyond customer expectations every time. Please see some of our lovely comments below from our valued customers.

I want to send my appreciation to the whole Touchstone team, everyone has been superb and the finished windows have surpassed my expectations! The Touchstone windows have restored the beauty of the stone mullions, enhanced their appeal with the traditional look of the Albion Crowne glass and of course given me a fully insulated solution.There was no other company I could find to offer a double glazed option to fit into the shaped arches. Everything about the Touchstone windows appears to be unique and I am immensely grateful to you all. From start to finish the Touchstone team has been wonderful: professional, approachable, informative and always friendly and helpful. Special thanks to you Rob for your endless patience while I dithered over the design for the stained glass windows, I’m happy to say the finished result is perfect! Thank you to Liz for her advice and guidance getting the project underway and to George for stepping in when Rob was away. Christian was very helpful with the survey and assisted with the installation and Richard and Matty did an excellent job of fitting the windows during a week of mostly inclement weather. They were always cheerful and positive while keeping dust and mess to a minimum. There are many others involved in the process who work behind the scenes in design and manufacturing - they all deserve credit too of course and I’m sorry I’m unable to mention them by name.

The finished result is quite magical! Thank you Touchstone team!
— Debbie
The quality of the manufacture is outstanding and the installation transforms the whole property. It was also a particular pleasure to deal with the installers who were not only very polite and helpful but also surely left the property tidier than they found it.
— Andrew Eden

We are ecstatic with the windows! Honestly could not be happier, they completely transform the house back to how it should look and will make the world of difference keeping the heat in and weather out. The quality is next level and your service has been second to none from start to finish. The fitters Richard and Matthew were so lovely and did an excellent job on some pretty tricky mullions. We can’t thank you all enough.
— Emma Wilde

Once again thank you to all the Touchstone team, it’s been a great experience from enquiry right through to now! If you ever have a potential customer who wants to talk to me about the experience, professionalism and quality - I would be happy to give a glowing recommendation.
— Mr Stothers

A unique property requiring a unique glazing solution. Our Victorian school house with its stone mullion windows had single glazing set directly into the stone. The mullions are chamfered inside and out, preventing fitting of any conventional frame. What a solution from Touchstone. Fabulous product and splendid communication and service from the company throughout. Our school house looks amazing. Thanks troops, take the rest of the day off
— Bill and Claire

A big thank you to everyone at Touchstone. From our first phone call to Rob with our enquiry everybody there has been first class. The fitter’s Matt and Richard were a pleasure to have and considering it poured down for the two days they were with us, they did a wonderful job and there was nothing for us to clean up afterwards.

We are absolutely delighted with our windows and would have no hesitation in recommending Touchstone to anyone.
— Mr and Mrs Benson

Absolutely first class service from start to finish!
Everyone in the team have been so helpful and friendly. It is clear they are proud of what they do.
Thank you everyone, we can’t recommend you highly enough.
— Greg

Touchstone have been a pleasure to work with, and I would thoroughly recommend them as a company to anyone wishing to enhance their home with beautiful windows.
Right from the start, they were helpful, well informed, and clearly passionate about their product.

I was kept well informed, everything stayed on schedule and it was undoubtedly less messy that I’d worried about.

The final effect is exactly as I’d hoped for, and has transformed our home. I’ve had numerous comments from friends, neighbours and passers-by. Thank you Touchstone.
— Ruth

I just wanted to pass on our heartfelt thanks for such a professional service from start to finish in our experience of dealing with Touchstone. The windows look fabulous, it has completely transformed the way our house looks, for the better of course!
— Jane and Andrew - Highfield House

We are delighted with our windows from Touchstone.
The quality is exceptional including the window openings which are pleasing to the eye.

The fitting process went extremely well.
The rooms are now soundproof and the heat retention is excellent.
— John and Barbara

Priory Chapel are very pleased with the lovely windows that are now installed and are grateful for the respect show towards the chapel both during the tender and installation stages. All employees of Touchstone have been respectful and courteous and the leaded and the encapsulated windows now look very much in keeping with character of the chapel as an 1886 building. Liz, your initial help was much appreciated and Richard and his team were excellent.
— Ray Saunders - Priory Chapel, Maidstone

A very big thank you to all you ladies upstairs and David!
A chocolate or two will go down well with your coffee I’m sure.
We are so pleased with your (now our) windows the service you all have given us has been wonderful.

Many thanks.
— Lizzie & Colin Toogood

We cannot thank everyone involved in the planning, production, delivery, and installation of our windows enough.
Not only were they the only company not to shy away from offering double glazing to our tracery elements of the windows, but as the terracotta mullions proved to be both unusual and quite a journey for all involved. Touchstone did not shy away from the issues and constantly reassured and sought solutions.
They complement the existing church structure and it’s aged beauty; they enhance rather than dominate yet they stand out in their own right.

The Albion Crowne glazing reflects light so beautifully that our neighbours are convinced that they have the best views. Our kitchen is now like The Crystal Palace and when the sun floods through the tracery, the patterns that fill the room are breathtaking. Nobody has seen anything like it before and if anyone is ever in doubt, just send them to Fakenham and they will soon be convinced.

As for the installation team, their care, thoughtfulness, kindness, politeness, attention to detail, vision and easy going nature, even on the roughest of days meant that they were an absolute pleasure to have on site - so much so that we actually miss them!

Rambling but sincere!
— Paul Chappell & Edward Markham

Our new windows from Touchstone have transformed our lives! The draughts have disappeared, there’s no more condensation and we’ve been able to keep the house warm at last. We don’t have to think about moving house anymore!
There’s no doubt that without Touchstone’s help and support we wouldn’t have been able to obtain Listed Building consent for our new windows, or being able to get permission for the style of windows that we wanted.

Many thanks to all the team who helped from the start to finish - You have a great product and fantastic service.

There is just one problem; the double glazing has done such a good job of soundproofing the house that the dog can’t hear people coming to the door anymore - he thinks he has gone deaf.
— Angela & Steve Marchant

I wanted to take this opportunity on behalf of Davina and me to thank you for the excellent service provided to us. The quality of the windows installed and the service provided has been first class.
Our home has been transformed and I am sure we will see the benefits this winter and on the value of our property.

From our first contact to the end of the installation you and the whole team have been lovely to work with. It really has been a pleasure to deal with you and we would recommend your company to any prospective customers. Your approch and personal attention is refreshing to say the least,

Please pop in for a cup of tea if you are ever passing.

Please pass on our thanks to Dave, Richard and the whole team.
— James & Davina Wilson

Touchstone provided the client with a first class service on site and completed all the works in a timely manner. In our role as architects and contract administrator on this project, we would have no hesitation in recommending the services of Touchstone Glazing Solutions to future clients.
— Jonathan Hunter - GSS Architecture

We are very pleased with the new windows which were installed for us by Touchstone Glazing Solutions. they are totally in character with the property and although it was a difficult decision whether to go ahead, I am delighted that we proceeded and they set off the property as it should be.

Touchstone were very efficient and a pleasure to work with.
— Simon P Mackaness (Director) - Rudding Park Hotel, Spa & Golf

I wanted to drop your team a note to thank you for the exceptional service we have received from Touchstone before and during our window installation.

Following another cold winter in the cottage, we knew our windows were in desperate need of replacement.


We chose Touchstone over two other specialist glaziers and are extremely glad we did. Your on-site crew were a credit to your business and the epitome of professionals at work.

They were all polite, friendly, extremely respectful and a pleasure to have in our home. Coupled with their utter patience and kindness towards their newest recruit (our six-year-old son Louis, who cried when they left!) and Jordan’s assistance with local wildlife - Louis the ferret (I hope he’s doing well in Yorkshire) and Moley (who was rehomed closer to home!) - Your team took our family life completely in their stride with nothing more than smiles and good humour.

At the end of each day, they were meticulous with their clearing up and at the end of the installation, made a full check of all the windows, which were left sparkling, inside and out!

Thank you once again.
— Leanne McPherson - Lane End Cottage

Our thanks to everyone who has contributed to our fabulous arched windows and double doors, we are so thrilled with the result and can immediately feel the benefit of extra warmth & increased light levels.

It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Touchstone, a breath of fresh air when it comes to the personnal service your staff provide. We know our windows were a challenge & the effort you went to, to insure that they met our requirements was truly exceptional. Visiting you twice brought home to us the lengths your company is prepared to go to, behind the scenes to get it right, because you care that your customer is happy & pleased with the result.

You were a recommendation to us & we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to others.

You are a Yorkshire Gem!
— Charlie & David Hume - St Mary's Chapel

We had four windows replaced in the dampest, coldest parts of our house and they’ve been in for 2 years now. The new double glazed windows fit in perfectly with the rest of the houses original windows and have helped transform the rooms into warm, comfortable areas and have removed all condensation and mould problems.

Touchstone did a brilliant job and I am thrilled with the windows.
— Anthony Hodgson - The Old Vicarage

We are delighted with the new windows and have already had positive comments from a number of our neighbours and passers-by.

Not only do they look the part in an old building but their narrow profile lets more light in.

Of course the design of the windows is only part of the story - The craftsmanship of the installation team also play its part.

Both fitters and the back office team have made the whole process a pleasure.
— David & Jane King- Huddersfield Road

Eyam is one of the most visited villages in the Peak District National Park and Eyam Dale House is a large prominent property in the centre of the village of Eyam.

With over a hundred original leaded light windows set in stone mullions, we carefully considered all options as part of the properties refurbishment.

Touchstone were the only replacement double glazed windows which captured the original look.

They looked correct from the outside and inside and of course open nicely (which the original ones didn’t) along with the much improved thermal rating.

The installers took care and pride in the project which was very important in minimising damage to the old stone mullions.
— Steve Howard - Eyam Dale House

We would just like to say a big thank you to everyone at Touchstone for the way the contract to replace the windows in the Stone Room at Lingholm was handled and to say how thoroughly pleased we are with the quality of the windows.

As you know The Stone Room is where the main events are held at Lingholm and it was important the windows correctly reflected the historic character of the room, they are absolutly perfect and we are particularly pleased with the aged process applied to the outside of the glass as it gives them a period feel. The room is also much warmer with double glazed units and no gaps around the frames.

We have already had numerous comments about how good the windows look and we look forward to getting the windows replaced on the main stairs as soon as we have Listed Building consent.

We would like to mention how brilliant the lads were in the process, working with us to minimise disruption to holiday guests and clearing up at the weekend so the wedding could go ahead.
— All at Lingholm - Lingholm Estate

I just wanted to say how delighted I am with my windows. They look absolutely stunning inside and out and I have to admit I actually burst out crying when I saw the first window installed. They totally transformed my home and I can’t thank you enough.

From the outside, the anthracite frames melt into the building so nothing detracts from the stonework. Inside every opening is like a framed picture and the quality of the frames, handles and stays make them a pleasure to open and shut. I am also pleased that I opted for the kiln finished glass. In the sunshine, the panes act like mirrors with dancing reflections of surrounding trees and fields. It looks incredibly beautiful and also provides more privacy inside the house.

On a more practical note, the sound-proofing quality of the Krypton gas has really surprised me. I was concerned the 16mm units would mean more noise from the road. Instead, I can hardly hear a thing!

Throughout the installation process, The lads worked incredibly long hours. Richard’s craftsmanship and attention to detail were superb and it was lovely to see him passing on his years of knowledge and experience to Adam. They are both a credit to you and it was a pleasure to have them in my home. In fact, I said to Richard that you have all played as big a part in restoring my home to its former glory as I have.
I couldn’t have done it without you.
Finally, I would like to say a big thank you to you ladies.

It will be almost 5 years since I first asked you for a quote on my windows. It has been a long difficult journey for me and if I had thought it would take this many years, maybe I wouldn’t have taken the first step. You’ve helped me through all the problems and setbacks including the lower roof being held up by a rotten wooden window! It’s not easy doing such a big renovation on my own, but you made my life a little easier along the way.

I would not hesitate to recommend Touchstone Glazing and should I ever be mad enough to renovate another home, you’ll be the first people I call.

Thanks a million!
— Lisa Middlehurst - Squirrel Lodge

Thanks so much for the professional job from start to finish, we are so pleased with the chapel windows.

Please thank the fitters who were just lovely and so professional. We’re getting so many positive comments from neighbours and friends.

Many thanks!
— Susan & Alan Jackson - The Old Chapel

Dear Sarah & Emma,
Just a note to let you know the window installation was successfully undertaken by Mick and Ryan on Saturday and Vickie and I are delighted with the result. We are so pleased that we chose clear glass as it has made the stairs and landing so much lighter now that the old obscured glass has been removed.

Thank you both for all your advice and help and for keeping us up to date with the manufacturing process and scheduling the installation sooner than we had anticipated. The whole process from placing the order, visiting your workshop and the installation of the glass has been first class.

Again a big thank you to all your team for a job well done!
— Andy & Vickie Robinson - The Mews

 
One word, first class! The boys are excellent, they leave the place cleaner than when they arrived!
— Sarah Burton - Bramley Lane
