Craftsmanship and quality are our trademark.

Our blue and white vans have been our trademark for as long as we’ve been in business and the skilled joiners who install our windows, door and living spaces are some of the most respected in the industry. 

They all wear the CR Smith badge with pride. Our trusted tradespeople take pride in their appearance as much as they take pride in the jobs they do, understanding the high standards of manufacture and quality that they represent.

CR Smith van and tram

The highest standards.

We employ all our own teams of skilled joiners, builders, painters and plasterers – many of whom have been with us for 15 years or more – and train them to the Lorimer Fit Standard™ to guarantee the professionalism of installation at every property. We also run our own apprenticeship programme, training and educating the next generation to become fully qualified joiners.

We know it’s your home you’re inviting us into. So from the moment we arrive in the CR Smith blue and white van to when we leave, we treat you and your home with respect. They operate to very high standards of workmanship, health & safety and customer care.

Whether we’re removing your old windows, installing your beautiful new Lorimer windows or even extending your home, we keep any disruption, noise and mess to an absolute minimum.

The LorimerFit™ standard.

Many of the benefits you will enjoy with new Lorimer windows, doors or a living space cannot be easily seen when the job is complete. However, our joiners and builders are required to sign off every job to confirm that they have completed the installation thoroughly to our exacting standards, including taking detailed photographs of concealed work. At CR Smith we know all the ways in which other people will cut corners. But we will never take short cuts.

We appreciate that windows and doors form part of the fabric of our customers’ homes and that, in order to last long past their guarantee, they must be right from the outset. Our joiners receive ongoing regular training and our Installation Managers also carry out regular comprehensive site visits so that we can ensure the highest possible quality.
