Roseview Windows Reviews 

I would like to express my delight with Stacey Drummond and her professionalism to get an urgent order through to avoid complications with a project we are currently installing, her dedication to make this happen is refreshing and she deserves the praise for the efforts in making this possible.

Kind Regards

Writing this as a company that uses Roseview Significantly as part of our Business.

We first came across Roseview 6 years ago when we installed a job for a friends chapel with Beautiful arched Roseview windows to be installed.

We started to use their products for a few years and eventually became a trusted approved installer.

The Beautiful sash windows have become such a hit with our customers in Devon we now install them on a daily basis with a dedicated installer specifically for Roseview Sash Windows we order.

The customers main objectives are replacing original 120 year plus single glazed windows with 21st century alternatives or putting back an original looking window that’s been replaced with a modern PVCu window.

Most of our work within the range comes from the Ultimate Rose as the details and measurements are like for like from a traditional sash window.

As soon as the customer sees the sample window and our original finishing techniques they are delighted to find something to fit what they are after.

I couldn’t recommend Roseview highly enough, the level of customer care and support is fantastic, they’re are always calling and asking if we need any assistance or samples. If we need any parts it’s actioned and send down within days and everyone within the company are easily reachable.

If your looking for a timber alternative product with plenty of options this is definitely the place to go!

Roseview Windows have been our preferred sliding sash window supplier for the past 10 + years and we have been very happy with their service, product, technical knowledge and after sales.
We also love how they are innovative in updating product to keep up with the latest customer requirements.

The Ultimate Rose PVCu sliding sash window is a gorgeous window and the closest I have seen to a timber sliding sash window.
The staff at Roseview Windows are always helpful and the customer care is 5* - I have never had a problem with the customer care side of the company.
I recommend others who are deciding between timber or PVCu to check out Roseview before making their decision.

We had 14 top of the range rose view ultimate windows installed by a local installer in early 2021.

Let's start with the positives.

They look nice and fit well with period properties and look like wooden windows from a couple of meters away, and would fool most people unless they looked pretty closely. Mechanically they work as they should and the construction looks decent. They also keep the rain out as you would expect with any window

Unfortunately, there are some very serious downsides.

The windows have extremely poor draft exclusion and sound reduction properties. I would say there is not that much difference between these and our original 100 year old single glazed sash windows when it comes to drafts and sound reduction.

On a windy day I can put my hand by the meeting rails and feel a draft coming through the window. Also traffic noise is not reduced by much at all even though we opted to go for the more expensive acoustic glass on all of the windows facing the road. It's as though each window has been left open a crack even though it's fully shut.

For comparison, when visiting a friends house who has far cheaper and older upvc sash windows they have no such issues. No drafts and the sound reduction, next to a busy road, is significant.

I have spoken to our installer and rose view many times about these issues, rose view have visited 3 times, none of their "fixes" have made any real difference. It's also been very difficult to get anyone from rose view to visit with it taking many weeks to get an appointment and then having multiple cancellations from them.

After getting nowhere I managed to speak to the MD, Richard Burrells, who initially sounded very positive on the phone assuring me that this is not the experience they want customers to have and they would make sure the problems are resolved, I thought I was finally going to have the problems resolved. We had another visit from rose view that failed to resolve anything, they replaced the brush seals with a longer version but no significant improvement.

I emailed Richard again who responded saying "That’s our duty done now we have attended and any further steps you wish to take would be with your installer who you contracted with." so after assuring me they would resolve the issues they then washed their hands of it after just one more visit.

On one of the visits from rose view the installer was in attendance to correct any fitting issues that may have been the cause. There were some minor installation issues that were rectified by the installer and rose view have not highlighted any further installation issues, indicating this is a problem with the windows themselves and not an installation problem. The only thing rose view has done to try and fix the problem is to replace some cheap brush seals with larger ones which has not helped.

I could not recommend these windows to anyone as they fail at two of the fundamental jobs they are supposed to do. Rose view have also been very difficult to get out to resolve any issues, it was 18 months from the date the windows were installed to the last rose view visit, and we are still stuck with poorly performing windows having spent many thousands on these windows.

RESPONSE:

You state that: "Unfortunately the issues you are facing are caused by the way the windows have been installed. They have been fitted out of square and with insufficient support and packing, meaning that the frames are skewed in relation to the sashes. This in turn has created gaps, allowing air and noise in."

This is the first time this has been mentioned by rose view at any point. As mentioned in my initial review upon the initial rose view visit some installation issues were highlighted the installer then revisited to fix the issues highlighted. Rose view then visited after the installation fixes and there was no mention of any installation issues after this point. I even had a lengthy conversation with the rose view representative about what could be causing the problems and there was never any mention that, in your view, the windows had been installed incorrectly causing the issues. Had this of been highlighted at the time I would have perused this with the installer.

I would request that you please send to me in writing the problems with the installation so that I can take this further with the installer. Without this evidence it will be very hard to get them to do anything to rectify the situation.

I have no idea why no one told me this at the time the inspections were made, or if this is a case of passing the buck to avoid taking responsibility?

UPDATE 30/11/2023

No response 40 days post-email to MD for info, though acknowledged. Appears their claims below are unfounded; customer concern seems disregarded. My review holds.

We have been trading with Roseview for more than ten years. Their product range has expanded and improved over that time, enabling us to increase our system portfolio and fulfil some prestigious projects, many within conservation areas. Their sales and technical back-up has always been first-class. I would say that they are unique within the plastics window industry.

Richard and Rick from deliveries our absolutely outstanding. They always go above and beyond when delivering to us. We have several suppliers but these two are truly outstanding. Thank you both very much for your hard work.

Had my Roseview sash windows fitted yesterday and the quality and finishing is amazing! Highly recommended

Good people and Awesome product range. The Ultimate Rose window Mk3 is a beautiful vertical sliding window with all the characteristics of a traditional sash window, of the range this is by far our favourite to sell and supply to our customers. Roseview are easy to deal with and dedicated departments make things run smoothly.

Our property is at the end of a street of listed houses in a conservation area, so it was important to replace with a window that did the property justice and didn't look out of place.
The initial visits to a local showroom allowed us to see the window up close, something which other companies couldn't provide.
The windows were manufactured to the designs required and the installation team did a great job at making them look fantastic inside and out.

My Wife has had a number of neighbours calling in to ask where we got our wooden windows from, when she tells them that they are UPVC they are astounded.

We have been dealing with ROSEVIEW for as number of years now and find not only the products great but their service too, we get a lot of help from the office staff and the drivers are helpful and polite, would happily recommend them to my clients

Having a shocking experience with Roseview which has been going on since December 2022. I require an email address for quality control and Managing Director a.s.a.p please. edit to add.....such a shame that I had to post over social media to get an email address that was denied to me when I rang earlier today and asked. Email sent. Edited from 1* to 4* as the service from Richard Burrell (MD) since I flagged concerns has been polite, prompt and incredibly proactive. Within 2 weeks, new windows were manufactured with new glazing and all other problems are now rectified and installation is complete.

We have just replaced our windows with Roseview Ultimate Rose windows in Chalk finish in our Victorian house . I wanted windows that were sympathetic to the age of the house, but would also be low maintenance and I’m absolutely delighted with them. The overall quality, finish and authenticity are excellent and the service I received when I called to source some trim was also very friendly and efficient. Lots of people have commented on how good the windows look so the look and quality is evident. Well done on a brilliant product.

We are in the process of replacing all the windows in our conversion with the Ultimate Rose sliding sash. They have transformed the look of the property and we can't wait to get the rest of them installed. You would never know they aren't wood!

We love our windows! They look so authentic that neighbours didn’t realise they had been replaced! They looked exactly the same as the 1900’s sash windows with all the modern properties of insulation both heat and sound! They are so easy to clean and we’re worth the investment without a doubt . If you are pondering about replacing old draughty original windows then don’t!

We absolutely love our new Ultimate Rose sash windows. Almost indistinguishable from timber without the upkeep or pricetag. They also keep the room well insulated. We went for a chalk finish with bronze hardware and are thrilled with the result!

I contacted Roseview Windows directly as I had some additional queries on the finishes of the sash windows the installers could not advise on. I was put through to Jazzmyn Crow in Marketing. Jazzmyn has gone above and beyond with her assistance, being the most helpful, informative and extremely patient person I have yet to come across in this field. Jazzmyn also answers very swiftly to queries and her friendly manner makes for an even better experience.

We had Roseview windows fitted 5 years ago. I cannot recommend them enough. I rarely write reviews but it just occurred to me that I should for this company.
A neighbour had them fitted before us and I thought they were wood. They look as good as the day they were fitted. The quality is remarkable, they look beautiful and they are easy to clean (they have really not needed much more than the odd wipe over). They also keep the sound of the busy road outside down brilliantly. 5* well earned.

We've had 6 Ultimate Rose in Chalk White windows installed and they have really enhanced the look of our house. We went for Victorian Offset design which were originally in the house before someone changed them to Georgian. Had a couple of queries before we decided which way to go, so popped in to the factory/showroom for a look and chat. Roseview team have been very helpful throughout the process.
