Wilberforce Sixth Form College has worked on a number of large-scale building projects over the last few years. It is fair to say that Evolution Doors have been the best company we have worked with.
Everything is planned to the finest detail. Communication between parties is excellent and customer satisfaction is at the forefront in all aspects. The standard of the doors, finishings and decoration is superb. Staff have noted how the work is completed without any disruption to the working day. The internal spaces look far more professional due to the quality of the materials used and the safety of the buildings has improved vastly.
I would recommend this company without reservation.

We have been extremely pleased with the progress of our project to refurbish and replace fire doors across our school buildings. The quality of the doors supplied has been excellent and has been complemented by a professional installation service, together with a comprehensive making-good package delivered by Evolution's decorating team. Throughout the project so far, minor snagging issues that have arisen have been addressed promptly and efficiently.
We have been particularly impressed by the involvement and commitment shown by Evolution's Director, Jonathan, supported by Graham and the wider team. It is clear that customer service is a key priority for the company, with major decisions being managed and coordinated at a senior level.
Health and safety has been a significant aspect of this project, and we were impressed by Evolution's approach in this area. The company has dedicated personnel responsible for overseeing health and safety compliance, providing direction, support and regular auditing throughout the works. This has given us confidence, especially around asbestos, that the project is being delivered to the highest standards.
Communication has been excellent throughout. We have always been able to contact Jonathan or other members of the team when required, either by telephone or email. Maintaining open communication channels has helped ensure the project has progressed smoothly and that any queries or concerns have been dealt with quickly and effectively.
The completed works within Buildings 1 and 2, where the internal fire doors have now been replaced, have had a very positive impact. In addition to significantly improving fire safety compliance, the new doors have helped rejuvenate the appearance of the buildings, creating a more modern, professional and welcoming environment for staff, students and visitors alike.
