Absolutely terrible! This guy had no idea how to remove the sliding door. Finally got it completed but damaged the rollers and couldn't fit the decals correctly. Would never recommend this company. Complained about the rollers and he just sprayed the door track with RP7 said its fine?

So it all started when my 4 year old threw a golf ball through his bedroom window and stated he was
"trying to make the house bigger"
Which I found funny and so did the people at Hartleys when I rang them.
Luckily they sent someone the same day and I was surprised how the guy replacing the glass didn't damage my 100+ year old window frames and made it look original when the job was done. Very happy with the price and also how quickly the job was completed.

Do not use Hartley Glass if you value your sanity! What I was informed was going to take six weeks to replace took ...
wait for it .... seven months!!! Even when they finally got around to installing the glass, they apparently did not have the foresight, experience or common sense to have additional flashing/silicone to hand. This added another two and half weeks - and I'm being optimistic as I write this because that's the promise, it hasn't actually happened to date. I wrote to management re my dissatisfaction: he could not even be bothered to acknowledge receipt of the correspondence

I used Hartley Glass for a glass replacement in a rental property I manage. The team at Hartley Glass were very professional and prompt with my quote (same day service). The trade guys organised an appropriate time for me to meet them at the property. Jordan the young lad that attended the property was polite, efficient, quick and clean. Even though he was quick the job was well done and he was professionally presented. I will definitely use them again.
