I needed a new front door as my previous doors locks locked in place . The old door had to be removed by cutting in half , Anthony was amazing. No damage to existing plaster either side of the door. He arrived on time, was friendly and helpful. Completed the installation with the minimum of disruption leaving the area clean and tidy. Great job. All members of staff at the office also deserve a mention. Thank you

We had an additional window fitted following 10 fitted last year. Once again the planning and prep from the office team was great and the installation was carried out to a high standard and all done with very little mess.

Three Counties replaced my home's exterior doors. Their quotes were reasonable, as were their pre-sale staff who were pleasant and helpful, not pushy. The job was completed within a month of the order by Ryan, who was entirely professional and careful to work with the fixtures and fittings of the doorways. Three counties will be the first company I call whenever I'm looking for windows, doors or conservatories in the future
