  LightenUp Wellington were fabulous to work with. They were happy to work with my builder, were responsive to questions, kept to dates and tidied up beautifully after the installation. The work is exactly what we agreed on. Couldn’t be happier with the result.  Many thanks 🙏

  Easy process, very positive approach to all our questions and the final result is exactly what we hoped for. We would highly recommend!

I noted just the one negative comment from a Stan,
Stan, to be fair,  you would do well to edit your ‘slight’ overreaction, as you have received a clear explanation and apology?
Perhaps on this occasion you could LightenUp.

  LightenUp Wellington recently replaced a 30+ year old Velux roof window for us. They were very responsive and professional throughout the process and have completed the work to a high standard. I would use them again and highly recommend them to others.

  What an amazing transformation for our 1957 home in sunny Raumati South. Worth every penny. We went from lights on during the day to this wonderful open feeling in our kitchen. A big shout-out to the men who installed the skylight. They were lovely to have on site, knew exactly what they were doing, and, as a result, we have a very professional looking skylight. We are truly impressed. Thanks Bob and the team!
