Hi there, anyone used a company called glassbox or glassbox prefab, there was a user on here a year back that had some problems but then they advised that they were all sorted and that the job was all done. We want a modern room on the back of our house and our neighbour has mentioned that its somethign they have been looking into and i wanted to find a company that could do us a price based on both houses having the extensions but keep it separeate if you know what i mean, there seems to be lots of companies that deal with upvc but is hard to find one that looks liek grand designs kind of thing.

me.... and i wish i hadnt..... it seems there might be a few more people googling glassbox today as it seems yet again the new company has gone bust leaving people in the lurch. I was with them when they were glassbox and there was quite a few people left with unfinished builds etc, and amonth later they started up as glassbox prefab,

this is whati've just post somewhere else...

keep away from glassbox or glassbox prefab, trust me had a well documented nightmare with them, and its still ongoing 2 years down the line or thereabouts. Just cowboys that do bad work and make lots of promises that they dont keep.
Zig who runs the company promises to fix the leaking roof in my extension and after a few weeks his phone line is dead!!! knew it was too good to be true, no building regs which i have to pay for my self, faulty underfloor heating which they installed, i had to pay to have it rewired because i coudlnt get a part p, plus the roof leaks.....

and after a bit of searching with google, the new company he set up glassbox prefab looks like its gone bust aswell... just hope he hasnt caught more people..

Isn't it strange how small furry things can make wrinkles appear attractive.:eek:

Do not touch them! They have just gone bankrupt - again! Luckily they finished our job after months of delays but others were not so lucky.

DO NOT USE GLASSBOX or ANYTHING CONNECTED TO ZIG CHAUDRY.

got to agree, nothing good will come of anything connected to the founder of glassbox, zig chowdry, ripped loads of people off, several companies gone bust and took suppliers with him, honestly please keep your money away from him.

I signed up to use Glassbox Prefab Ltd in 2010. I really liked their offering. However, on 31 March 2011 they went bust. I have lost £13,000 and am trying to reclaim £5,000 through the IWA deposit insurance offered (which isn't as straight forward as I would have liked). A great shame and hugely frustrating for us. If there are other Glassbox Prefab sufferers, please email me at oliver at envestors dot co dot uk. Oliver

the glassbox host address has now been changed to a holiday destination which probably couldnt be more ironic... its probably where zig chowdry is sunning himself with everyones money!!!
