“ordered placed and not delivered, all communication goes unanswered, so have given up on this front and have now taken steps for legal proceedings, why has the CEO left after less than one year!”

“We wish we had never entertained using Everest, its been a blight on our lives for the last 2 years. After the install, which was months late, we reported issues, and when fixing one issue they created others. The end result is that 2 windows where completely replaced, only to be even worse than the first attempt. When you pay for triple glazing, you don't expect to tape up the windows to stop the wind blowing though them, where they have been pulled out of shape, by installers who are on a bonus the more windows they fit in a day, no care is taken at all. One time after an adjustment we needed to call them out again as the window could be popped open when locked with a push. This was found while cleaning the windows, one window 1.5m wide that after numerus visits over the 2 years, has been giving the "all clear" even though no fixings have been used in the bottom edge of the window, meaning that if you push on the window, it flexes significantly. The FENSA and GGF good practice say that this should have at least 2 fixings along its length. They only get one star, as they keep the worst of the rain out.”

“Absolute dreadful from start to finish This was truly a nightmare from start to finish. We placed the order for a 4x3mtr conservatory in January 2018 after opting for the Everest brand as Fred Clarke(salesman ) sold us the Everest dream. However it was everything but. They only finished the installation on June 22nd 2019. During that time they took it down 4 times , built the base to small, cut the entire frame down to suit the base and rebuilt the entire side wall measuring mtrs long 2.5 times. It was a whopping £31,400 as well, and was actually the dearest quote we had , but it was all a pack of lies and poor workmanship. We were sold triple glazing only to be told upon installation that they could only fit double as it was too heavy . They charged us for a skip but placed it all in the street , my wife even had one of the fitters kiss her. We have so much to say it would take at least an hour to write, so we just wanted to warn you that there subcontractor workman are a mix of very good or very very poor, you only get the good when everything goes wrong. There was zero project management and no customer service whatsoever. We are now about to descend into a legal battle regarding the final cost . So all we ask is that you do your homework before opting for Everest because are very very far from the Best.”

“approx 12 visits to sort out French doors,they do not return your calls,and if you are retired or unable to work they will not compensate you as they only pay for loss of earnings,so my time is worth nothing to them.Will never use or reccomend them again.”

“I contacted Everest as one of the market leaders and they were the first to come out and quote for all of the windows and 2 doors in our house. Very pleasant upon arrival and quite clear with the process involved. Mentioned at the start that he would get his laptop out at the end and get a quote generated, however as the conversation went on he then inferred that he might get his laptop out if there was time. After an hour and 15 minutes he had decided there was not enough time to get his laptop out. We asked for a rough price but were given a figure ranging £4000 between high and low. We were quite clear that we had several quotes arranged for the two days and wanted to make our decision over the weekend. He however said that we needed to have a face-to-face meeting so couldn’t give us a quote over the phone or by email. We phoned again at the weekend after the other window companies had quoted and spoke to the sales agent asking for the Everest quote so that we could compare with our other quotes. We were clear to all companies that we wanted to get this moving and our install window was flexible to fit in with each companies best price. We were told that he couldn’t give us a price over the phone and was quite insistent and rude that he couldn’t give a price without meeting us face to face stating that it was company policy not to give figures over the phone or email. He said that he would call us back over the weekend but this phone call never came. Our front runner company called over the weekend and offered a lower price and gave us time to think about this. We tried to call Everest over the weekend but were put on hold for over 20 minutes. On Monday morning, once again, we tried to make contact with Everest, this time filling out their contact form on their website asking for someone from management to contact us to talk about a quote. Once again we didn’t receive any contact from Everest. On Tuesday evening, after further negotiation with our front runner we negotiated a lower price and agreed to sign with them in the evening. I had a courtesy call from Everest on Wednesday afternoon which stated that we had the original sales agent coming to give us the quote in the evening. We had not organised this meeting and we were going out to our daughters school event. I gave my honest feedback that we had asked for a price several times, but due to “company policy” we couldn’t be given a price over the phone or by email. I also let them how disparaging the sales agent was over other companies, and whilst I appreciate that he wanted to win our business, sometimes you just have to show how good your product is, not dis the other company. I said that he should let the sales agent know our decision to save any wasted journey. Unfortunately, this message did not get through to the sales agent who turned up just as we were about to go out. He brought his case to the door however when I opened the door surprised to see him, I let him know that the office has been informed that we had gone with someone else and thus his visit was not needed. The sales agent was incredibly rude and stormed back to his car thrusting the quote towards me saying “there’s your quote”. I asked him if I could look at the quote out of interest and he sharply came back saying “no you can’t“ in a rude and aggressive manner. I mentioned that the deposit that we put down with the other company was refundable but he said he’d had enough and got into his car. He said “I wish you’d have called me” to which I said that we had called him on Saturday morning to discuss and that he promised a call back over the weekend, a call that never came! I can’t believe the rudeness that I experienced and as happy not to go with them if that was the impression of the sales agent. The complete lack of communication and information experienced over the last few days dumbfounded. I would not recommend Everest and think that some of their internal policies regarding quotes need reviewing.”

“BI-FOLD DOORS ARE DEFINITELY NOT A SPECIALITY OF EVEREST A PRODUCT AND SYSTEM THAT THEY HAVE YET TO MASTER FULLY AND THE FITTING AND REPLACEMENTS AT EACH ATTEMPT (4 THUS FAR) IS AN ABSOLUTE DISASTER Everest representatives are only too eager to promote their products,stressing at every opportunity that they are the best,whereas in all honesty they are by no means the best neither in products,quality,performance,Installation. When you instigate a complaint you are automatically placed in a complaints procedure, a procedure which passes from department to department, a complaints procedure that will not allow you to contact the Company C.E.O. either by Telephone or by e-mail,all attempts are blocked which to me is an indication that the company receive far more complaints than they would like. You are spoken to in a condescending manner, treated as though what you are saying are untruths/lies,that you do not have the intelligence to make such comments. For almost 18 months now as a family we have had nothing but hassle and extremely bad experience with Everest. To Date Everest have made 1 Initial Installation, 2 x Further Replacements/Re-Installations and most recently an attempt by Everest's supposedly BEST INSTALLATION TEAM to rectify all problems...All of which have failed miserably. We have suffered damage to walls both Interior and Exterior,Damage to our Solid Oak Flooring. Our Heating Expenses have been astronomical due to the excessive Draughts,GrandDaughters fingers were badly bruised due to the inadequate magnetic door stops,excessive condensation on Bi-Folds and Larger Fixed Windows which fit to the floor,this constant condensation has now led to Black Mould appearing at an alarmingly quick rate on new concrete floor section,walls, and oak floor all of which received a negative comment from a supposedly senior member of Everest.The constant damp,draughts and mould have left us all with chest problems. I have asked on numerous previous occasions to have Everest remove all products, Re-Instate my property to its original state,Refund all monies paid, where on each occasion I was persuaded to give Everest one more attempt to solve the issues because each time different employees of Everest visited my property and each one said that they could fix the problems,each time different issues also arose after their attempts. Everest have the audacity to make claims that they are the best, that their products pass the feather test. Alas they fail miserably on both claims. We have had Installation teams openly state that they had never Installed Bi-Fold Doors before, We have had Installation teams arrive and ask us what needs to be done,we have had Installation teams arrive without relevant parts,all of which does not instil the customer with any confidence whatsoever. If Everest are unable to,or refuse to remove all of their sub-standard products,then I suggest that they refund all monies we have paid to them thus enabling us to find a company who are able to supply a product and Installation fit for purpose. Would I recommend Everest as a Company...DEFINITELY NOT Would I recommend Everest products...NEVER Would I recommend Everest Installation Teams....NO”
