Advance Telford review

Ranked 6 of 8 in Door fitters in Telford

Best for: Windows and doors with stated FENSA certification

Unknown

Telford · Service area: Telford, Shrewsbury, Hereford, Wolverhampton

Advance Telford in short

Advance Telford is a Gower Street windows and doors installer whose website now trades under the Astoria Windows name across Telford and beyond [2] [1]. The site states FENSA certification with an insurance-backed guarantee, and describes a high-volume fitting record [1]. This review finds that stated certification its standout feature.

Customer reviews are middling, with a 4.0 Google headline across the reviews we hold [2]. The site sets out windows, doors, conservatories and roof replacements with a contact form [1].

What counts against Advance Telford is the name mismatch between the listing and the site, plus unpublished insurance amounts and pricing [1]. It suits buyers who value stated certification, once the trading name on the quote is checked.
