Safestyle's Halloween Horror

On Halloween eve, Safestyle decided to give everyone a real fright and announced the company had gone into administration. This has made over 600 people redundant with immediate effect and no further pay. Safestyle UK has been trading since 1992 and has had thousands of customers every year since then.

As such a large company, who additionally hired self-employed contractors to fit their windows, quality tracking became difficult.  

This situation has been all over the national press and you may think if you have had a Safestyle installation it’s all over for you with headlines like ‘Double-glazing customers set to lose money as Safestyle goes bust’ (The Times).

There is hope though, as legal protection can sometimes go beyond the company itself. Depending on factors such as payment method and date of installation, you may be able to get help under UK consumer protection regulations. Common problems associated with Safestyle products include but are not limited to draft around the frame, poor installation, doors dropping, handles sticking, locks jamming, and many consumers have suffered damage to their walls and render. If you currently have placed an order and handed over a deposit with Safestyle, there is no guarantee that you will get that back.
