We used this company on a previous occasion to replace an existing car port and have just used them to install a solar powered door to the rear of it. The Salesman, David, contacted us to quote for the work and arrange for a surveyor to call quickly. John and Dominic, our installers, worked in a tidy and efficient manner to complete the installation. More...

SBI responded very quickly to my worries when our old awning (not one of theirs) broke down. They diagnosed the fault - the motor had packed up - and I decided to purchase a new one from SBI. Two visits were made, the first to agree upon the style we wanted, and they also took away pieces of the old, broken one. Then came installation day - Michael, John and Dominic arrived with rain threatening but in around two hours had completed the installation, tidied away and cleaned most of the mess they had made with drilling and installation. They were professional, cheerful and worked well as a team. Administration throughout the process has been clear and response times good. Whereas I hadn't been advised by the previous installer to have my awning maintained every couple of years, SBI has suggested this which I feel is really good advice. Recommended. More...
