Verandas Reviews for SBI
Our glass verandas have transformed countless outdoor spaces, creating sheltered areas that can be enjoyed year-round regardless of the weather. Our customers consistently praise the quality, appearance, and functionality of our verandas, as well as the professionalism of our installation teams.
Ally Warnock gave us 5 stars, commenting:
“A fantastic service all round from SBI and really pleased with the work done to our veranda. James always responded quickly to all communications to ensure that everything was in place for Mike and the team when they arrived on site. The guys all clearly have a wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise in their field and I can’t praise them highly enough for their top quality workmanship and overall professionalism.”
For many customers, the process from consultation to installation is seamless and stress-free. Gabriela Ignacio shared:
“We have had a very good experience. From the site visit to the fitting. All our questions were answered thoroughly and the installation was quick and clean, also keen to help us move our own stuff to make space. Great product and addition to our house. We are very happy.”
The transformation that a veranda brings to a property is often a highlight in reviews. Robert Greenfield was particularly effusive:
“What an absolute pleasure working with this company – from beginning to end of the project it was smooth sailing to a final product of a gorgeous veranda addition to our coastal holiday cottage! Outstanding stylish finish well-worth every penny – I can’t recommend SBI Ltd highly enough with a special mention of thanks to their customer adviser, Stephanie and installers John, Michael, Dominic and Mark – a very BIG THANK YOU!”
Many customers appreciate the attention to detail our installation teams provide. Clare Northcott noted:
“The veranda looks great, the delivery and installation were most efficient and the staff very kind.”
Similarly, Christine O’Connor remarked:
“Thank you for your excellent product and workmanship, l was very impressed with the whole process, from start to finish. Michael, Dominic and Mark arrived on time and worked well, they were very polite and respectful at all times. I would be very happy to recommend SBI Ltd.”
The Victorian-style verandas are particularly popular, with their elegant design complementing various architectural styles. Graham Andrews shared:
“From first considering a Veranda from SBI to final fitting, everyone has been really friendly, polite and helpful… We opted for the Victorian style in grey with toughened glass, slightly dearer but a far better end result and no rain noise… Yes there are other companies, but SBI had the style and finish we were looking for. You get what you pay for and we certainly got great value both in customer service, workmanship and quality.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Verandas and Glass Rooms
How long does a veranda installation take? Based on customer reviews, most veranda installations are completed within one to two days, depending on the complexity and size of the structure.
Do I need planning permission? In many cases, verandas and glass rooms fall under permitted development rights, meaning planning permission isn’t required. We’ll advise you on this during your initial consultation.
What’s the difference between a veranda and a glass garden room? A veranda typically has a roof supported by posts with open or partially enclosed sides, whilst a glass garden room is fully enclosed with glass walls and a roof, creating a year-round living space.
Can I add LED lighting to my veranda? Absolutely! As Tony and Clare’s review mentioned, we can incorporate remote-controlled LED lighting to create that “extra WOW factor.”
What maintenance is required? Verandas and glass rooms require minimal maintenance, typically just periodic cleaning. We provide full guidance on care and maintenance after installation.

More Insights from SBI Veranda Reviews
For customers considering a veranda, the feedback from Jan Woolgar might be particularly encouraging:
“Excellent price for an excellent veranda. Came in £2,000 cheaper and months sooner than any other quote we had.”
This sentiment is echoed by many who found our pricing competitive without compromising on quality.
Some customers have gone on to enhance their verandas with additional features. As Francesca Mckinlay enthusiastically shared:
“Wow! I had a glass veranda installed in my garden as my garden was a sun trap. The electric awning is fantastic and blocks out all the sun. Not only is this a perfect place to relax it looks first class too. I would recommend having the light bar, this finishes the look and provide ambience at night.”
Even in challenging weather or site conditions, our teams rise to the occasion. Tony Holmes noted:
“After searching for months I spotted a photograph on the web, posted by SBI, which looked like the answer to our problem in needing a veranda for our patio that was not a standard solution. The team were competent, professional and took a pride in their work, working around any issues arising during the construction. The finished result will allow us year round use of the covered area.”
The versatility of our verandas is evident in installations ranging from residential properties to commercial establishments. Nick Carpenter expressed:
“The quality and professionalism from the team at SBI Ltd was outstanding. Stefanie provided us with a very thorough and detailed quote, guiding us carefully through the entire process and Michael and Mark installed the veranda with the minimum of fuss; two cups of tea later and everything was done! Very happy indeed.”
For many homeowners, the addition of a veranda fundamentally changes how they use their outdoor space. As Moyra Knight simply stated:
“Absolutely delighted with my glass veranda. It’s 4m x 3m. Excellent service from inquiry to completion. Now going to have glass sides added. Very reasonable price.”
The installation team’s cleanliness and consideration are frequently mentioned. Shanti Sarkar appreciated that they: “cleaned up well after themselves” and noted the “minimal disruption” during installation. This attention to detail extends to the entire project, from initial survey to final installation.
Pam Lempriere shared her experience with both a veranda and glass sliding doors:
“We had a veranda with a polycarbonate roof and the sides also had glass sliding doors installed, we just couldn’t be more than happy with the end result. The boys that did the installation Dominic, John, Mark, and Michael were brilliant always arrived on time, and always cleaned up after themselves every day.”
