What to check when hiring window / door fitters in South Africa
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- Be wary of high-pressure 'today-only' discounts and a salesperson who won't leave. A reputable window or door firm gives you a written, itemised quote you can take away and compare against others.
- Never pay the full price up front; a modest deposit with the balance on completion is normal. Ask what deposit protection or insurance-backed guarantee you get if the firm stops trading before fitting.
- Get the specification in writing (frame material, the glazing units and their energy rating, and any trickle vents) so you can check you got what you paid for.
- In South Africa, electrical work must be signed off with a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) issued by a registered person. Insist on the CoC, and for plumbing look for PIRB or IOPSA registration, because without a valid CoC a future home-insurance claim can be refused.
- For a new home or major structural build, the builder must be registered with the NHBRC (National Home Builders Registration Council) and the home enrolled before construction. Check this before you pay a deposit.
How to judge a window / door fitter
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- New windows and doors are a big, deposit-heavy purchase, so protect your money: avoid paying a large deposit up front, and prefer a firm that offers deposit protection or an insurance-backed guarantee so you are covered if they stop trading before finishing.
- Check the energy rating of the glazing (a higher rating means lower heating bills) and that the glass and frame specification matches your quote.
- Confirm the installation meets local building requirements for replacement windows, glazing safety, ventilation, and a fire escape from bedrooms, and get a guarantee on both the product and the fitting in writing.
- Read recent reviews for on-time completion, tidy fitting, and how the firm handled any snags or callbacks.
Warning signs of a cowboy
- Pressure to sign today for a 'today only' discount, or a demand for a large deposit before any work starts.
- No insurance-backed guarantee or deposit protection: if the firm folds mid-job, your deposit and guarantee vanish with it.
- Vague about the glass and frame specification, the energy rating, or whether the fitting meets building requirements.
- A quote far below everyone else's, or cash-only with no written contract.
Questions to ask before you hire
- How much deposit do you require, and is it protected or insurance-backed?
- What is the energy rating, and exactly what glass and frame specification am I getting?
- Does the installation meet local building requirements, and is there a guarantee on both product and fitting?
- Can you show recent local installations and reviews?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy window / door fitter?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A window / door fitter backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend window / door fitters for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Window / door fitters are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a window / door fitter?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the window / door fitter, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
