1. Right to cancel – At any stage prior to the commencement of work to your windows, doors, conservatory or kitchen and for any reason, you have the right to cancel the order, in which case we will issue a full refund of any monies taken as a deposit. At Advanced we don’t believe that holding a customer to the contract when they are not completely certain of their purchase, is the correct way to do business. Therefore, if
you even have the slightest doubt or apprehension and cannot be put at ease by any members of our team then please exercise your right to cancel.
2. Our Product Guarantee – As will have already been outlined by our salesperson, our products, be it windows, doors, a conservatory or a kitchen are of the highest quality, therefore, all hold our 10 year guarantee (except all electrical goods).
3. Our Service Guarantee– Having been one of Scotland’s leading home improvements companies for over 17 years and having dealt with millions of
customers in that time, we have come across every problem in the book! Despite this unfortunately some problems may arise, that not even we can predict! What we can
do, however, is promise no matter what problem arises whether it be a weather delay
or a technical design problem, you, our customer can ALWAYS get in direct contact with the person in charge of that department WITHOUT EXCEPTION.
4. Our Installation Guarantee – All our products are installed by time served joiners, who have been vetted and checked out before gaining approved status. All installers are covered under our guarantee scheme. As they have a self employed status and
fall below the V.A.T threshold they must be paid direct to assist cost efficiency. This figure is displayed on our contract under ‘installation fee’.
Our aim is to make your purchasing experience as enjoyable as possible and we believe that furnishing you with all our contact names and numbers will offer you further peace of mind and security. Each department and the contacts have been
listed below. Each contact will assist you in targeting your concerns or your queries. Please give them the opportunity to assist you first before contacting the General manager or Directors.
Sales Department
Once our salesperson has left, you will have the opportunity to peruse your contract details, at this point you may realise that the salesperson has omitted something or
that you forgot to ask a specific question, or you may even want to change the colour
or design of your product. Whatever, the reason at this point please do not hesitate to contact us. As our salespeople are continuously on the road and in and out of customers homes they are notoriously difficult to get on the phone, so whatever your query or change may be please do not hesitate to contact our Sales Co-ordinator
Miss Joan Tierney.

With a reputation as the man that “makes things happen” Paul has an excellent work ethic, completely dedicated to the high standards and quality of the product and the smooth running of the factories. Ultimately Paul is the person that controls the entire operations process, nobody knows the product better and he should be able to put any last problems to rest without any difficulties.
Mr Ian Bryson – Managing Director – Tel: 0797 0009 070
Ian has been with the company almost from its conception. Some 15 years ago he began as a salesman progressing to sales manager where he excelled in motivating
his staff and servicing our customers, so much so that his reputation for being the company’s “people person” coupled with his keen management skills and sound product knowledge quickly led him to be the overall Managing Director of our group. As managing Director Ian controls the entire company from sales and planning to installation and remedial, therefore, no matter what your query Ian will be able to
deal with it. Not only is he popular with our customers but he is also a hands on team player who is a favourite with the staff, so if any problem whatsoever should arise then Ian has the know how and the man power to solve it.

Mr Mark Watson – Tel: 0797 0009 090

in terms of running the day to day activities of the business, but he still firmly believes that customers should be given access to the key management and their teams.
