01376554280 Summary (Read all comments)

Phone number ☎️ 01376554280 👆 is reported as a persistent and aggressive telemarketing operation linked to a double glazing and home improvement company in Braintree. Many recipients allege repeated, unsolicited calls, often using prior contact or fabricated details to pressure for property visits or sales. The callers can be rude, evasive, or disconnect abruptly when challenged, with some leaving no messages, others using offensive language, or making unfounded claims about previous agreements. Several have protested to regulatory bodies and added the number to blocklists, but alternative mobile numbers are frequently employed to continue harassment. While some customers acknowledge quality past work, the relentless follow-ups and occasional misleading tactics have fostered widespread distrust and warnings against engaging with these callers.

This number has rung me like 38 times over the last four months. I did answer once, they were trying to sell windows and I told them no thanks. They begged for a meeting though, and since I was tied up, I said I couldn't make any promises. After that, it’s like they won’t stop calling me. Proper annoying.

Got a call from a number that was sort of local. The guy claimed we’d spoken before, but I had no clue about that. He was saying something about recycling my windows and that they needed replacing. I asked why and he said it’s because mine were too old. I told him, 'So what? They work fine, probably not as old as the house anyway since they’re double glazed. Plus, they seem to insulate well - lately I've had to open windows and doors just to warm the place up!' He sounded a bit lost after that. I told him not to bother calling again. Still, I’ll add the number to my blocked list.

A call came through from this number earlier today, 31/07/24, but I had a funny feeling about it so I didn't answer. They didn’t leave any voicemail or anything, so I decided to check out the reviews here. After reading the comments, it’s pretty clear to me this is some sort of scam, so I’m definitely labelling it as dodgy.

Got a call on my landline today at about 3:27pm. I ignored it straight away because it looked like one of those dodgy scam calls that just seem to keep coming out of nowhere. Turns out I was spot on. Honestly, don't trust anyone who rings from that number! I've gone ahead and blocked it permanently now.

Aye, they said they were from me bank and that someone had taken money off me account two times already. Definitely a scam.

He said his name was Paul and that he’d given us a quote a few years back about windows, asking if we were still interested, which we weren’t and didn’t want. I looked up the number and it seems like it’s a scam.

Got calls from a private number claiming to be from a double glazing firm in Braintree named First Home Improvements. I’ve told them loads of times to leave me alone, but they keep ringing me over and over.

We never picked up the phone but it seems it was First National Home Improvements. We told the Telephone Preference Service about the annoying calls - they were checking into all the people getting these calls (loads of others too) and finally made them take our number off. Now, FNH are ringing our mobiles instead, which TPS can't really do anything about.

We got some work done before (door and conservatory) and the job was done well. However, since then, they keep bothering us non-stop. Ive asked them loads of times to stop calling, but they just ignore it and even showed up at our house unannounced. They’re not rude exactly, just super annoying and won’t take no for an answer. I have blocked them on both my landline and mobile, but they just ring from different mobile numbers now. 😤😤😤

Looks like I spoke to these folks a while back and they phoned again asking about my double glazing. They seemed to know quite a bit about what I have, so guess I must've chatted with them a few years ago. I told them I wasn’t interested, let’s see if they ring again.

These First Home Improvements lot are something else. Hadn't heard from them in ages, then suddenly they ring me up asking if I want them to check my double glazing. I told them it’s already sorted, and the bloke just says “B@stard” and slams the phone down. Absolutely charming. Hope they crash and burn, honestly.

This annoying person has rung me up loads of times, asking if I'd let First Home Windows from Railway Street in Braintree check out my double glazing. I said yes twice for them to come look at my windows in Chelmsford, but neither time did they show up. After a while, they started pestering me again, so I told them to stop bothering me. If this had been in person, I reckon he would’ve calmed down, but instead, he just went and called me a "Prick". Quite rude!

Managed to get past the call screening by just saying my name instead of the company’s. They got proper rude when I told them I wouldn’t have answered if I’d known who was ringing.

I assumed they were a proper company since I’m actually looking to get my windows done. But the bloke was really curt and said they wouldn’t come out unless my partner was around, even tho it’s my own house! Made no sense at all.

Just got a really impolite cold call that felt off from the start. They couldn’t even say my husband’s name right, which made me wary. When I questioned their purpose, the person on the other end snapped back, “Are you his bodyguard or something?” Definitely one of those unwanted cold calls.

Got a call about double glazing, which made no sense since I live in a caravan. I told them I wasn’t interested, but the manager kept pushing, saying if I sent them customers, he’d take care of me. Proper scams.

Got a sketchy home improvements call and they already knew my name and where I lived, saying I must have given them my number ages ago. I kept telling them I’m on the TPS and definitely never gave them my number, but they kept trying to twist my words. Ended up telling them to delete all my info.

First Home Improvements from Braintree claimed they had previously visited my property and that I’d given them both my name and phone number, also supposedly agreeing to be contacted in six months. Complete rubbish. I rang them back on 0800092112 and spoke with the manager, who confessed to cold calling people. He said he’d review the call and get back to me. Surprise, surprise, no callback. Highly suggest everyone phones their free number and shows them how it feels!

Pretty sure this is First Home Improvements, connected to Anglian Windows. Had some work done around a year and a half back, and although the job was good, I kept getting loads of calls pushing more sales. I complained and they promised to take me off their calling list, which they actually did for about a year. But now the calls have started up all over again!

this number called me but didnt say who they were. kinda creepy how they knew where i live and kept asking if i’d be in today, tomorow or later in the week - felt like they were trying to figure out when the house would be empty. gonna put a note with the neighbours that we never asked for any window cleaning or estimates and to let us know if anyone suspicious shows up.

This is Anglia 1st Windows. We had double glazing done and also got our garage roof fixed through them. Both jobs were done pretty well. The annoying part is they constantly call, pushing quotes for other stuff like soffits, garage doors, and conservatories. Feels like we cant get a break from their calls.
