About Global Door

Martindales installers are all put through a rigorous training school program to ensure they are fully trained on all GFD products. This ensures the engineers are familiar with the nuances of each product, and fit them with the respect they deserve,

With the industry standard being 12 months, we offer an impressive 5 year guarantee on all aspects of workmanship a testament to the superior level of our fitters.

Martindales have over 30 years in the fenestration industry, and a re the trusted installer of some of the UK's largest insurance companies. With over 2OO staff employed this wealth of experience is evident from the surveyors to the senior installation engineers.

Subcontractors are tempting on new builds/extensions due to their low labour rates, but the quality of the fitting is often below par. Subcontractors are paid on a ‘per item’ basis, meaning the more they can fit in a day the better. We do not believe this ‘hit and run’ mentality is befitting for a customer trying to create their d ream home, which is why our installers are directly employed and don't charge per item. If a job runs over by a day to ensure the finish is perfect, we will always carry this out at no extra charge to the customer.

Don't be fooled by cheap labour rates quotes by builders or new build installers. These usually are priced without any finishing off, and basically entail getting the product into the opening. It is then left to the customer to arrange finishing from a third party, which is more hassle and expense. Martindales will provide colour matching silicone, decorative architraves and trims as required to ensure a professional finish.

All our installers use dust sheets inside and out as standard, whether requested or not. Our policy is to treat a customers home with the utmost respect, and we even carry vacuum cleaners on every van to ensure the home or site is left the way it was when we arrived. Although it may sound a minor detail, bear this in mind as often cheaper labourers will not be as concerned with respecting your property in this way.

Once the job is completed, our installers will walk you through your new products and give you a demonstration on the operation. This is helpful if you have a new bi folding or patio door, as the operation can be unfamiliar to some people. These are the extra touches we believe set us apart from other installers - in fact, a lot of sub contractors will happily leave site without even showing the customer the product!

All of Martindales surveyors and installation staff are CRB checked and wear ID cards at all times. Our installers will always be uniformed and arrive in tracked Martindales vans, so you will be sure who is attending your property.

An experienced surveyor will carry out a site survey to discuss all requirements of the project, including any technical aspects of the install. We can also liaise with your architect or project manager if required

For projects that require large glazing areas (e.g. curtain walling or commercial buildings) we work alongside a specialist commercial glazing installer.

All of our surveyors carry electronic PDA's that send through everything you agree on site straight through to our system. This ensures that our order department have all the detail you discuss instantly, removing margin for error and keeping your order moving along swiftly.

If you're busy and prefer to book you own survey slot at your convenience, you can do this easily via our online booking system. Every appointment is confirmed via email and you will receive a text message reminder on the day as well.
