CKI Steel Doors & Windows

"started the search after seeing similar doors at a friends place. got three quotes, CKI came back middle on price but the conversation was the most useful by a long way. survey booked within days, measurements done properly, paperwork sent through clearly. waited about three weeks for production. fitting day was smooth, the lads were quick and clean. doors look unreal in the opening, much better than I'd pictured. genuinely worth the money and the wait"

"started this project about two months ago after seeing a friends place with similar doors. rang round four companies, two of them were original crittall and the price made my eyes water. someone in a Kensington homeowner group mentioned CKI so I gave them a ring. the difference in quote was massive for what looked like a better product to be fair. they came out, measured everything proper, talked us through glass options and hardware. lead time was just under 3 weeks which I didnt believe at first. doors turned up when they said, install was 2 days for the bifold plus internal screens. fitters were sound, no mess left behind. one of the panels needed a small adjustment after a week and they came back out no fuss. doors look unreal in person. happy we didnt just go with the first name everyone knows"

"The aluminium sliding doors on our kitchen extension were about seven years old and honestly falling apart. Condensation trapped between the panes, seals deteriorating, frames going a weird colour. Just tired looking. We didn't want to go aluminium again because we'd already seen how they age, so we started researching steel options. CKI came back with a quote for external French steel doors and it was weirdly close to what other places wanted for aluminium replacements. That was what made us commit really - paying roughly the same for something that obviously feels more substantial seemed like an easy call. The doors themselves are noticeably heavier, which sounds like it might be annoying but it actually just makes them feel solid when you open and close them. The frames are thinner too so there's more glass, which we weren't expecting to care about but it does make a difference in how much light comes in. Biggest practical win is no more condensation. Even on properly cold mornings the glass stays clear, which is a relief because wiping down the old doors every morning was getting old. They were made to our measurements and showed up in about three weeks. The install was straightforward, couple of guys who clearly knew what they were doing."

"enquired about internal steel doors and CKI got back to us same day. came out to measure up that week and the quote was fair, actually cheaper than another company quoting aluminium doors. production took about 3 weeks then the install team came and had everything done in a day. doors look class and feel proper solid. 10 year guarantee too"

"Had a set of sliding doors fitted to separate our kitchen from the living area.the frames are slim and let so much more light through than we expected. The steel feels solid and well-made,nothing flimsy about them at all.They were built to our exact measurements and the fit is spot on.Really happy with the final look."
