About
Academy Windows: domestic installation of quality uPVC and aluminium windows, doors and conservatories. With 30 years industry experience we have earned the trust of many thousands of customers. We are a FENSA registered business, the industry gold standard for replacement windows and doors. Choose Academy Windows and you are choosing quality products and service during and beyond your installation. We are happy to honour our guarantee because we believe in the quality of our products and service.
Our manufacturing arm, Windows Direct, make all our own windows, doors and conservatories in our factory in Brightlingsea. We use, as far as possible, British made components (i.e. hinges, locks and handles) which are more expensive but far superior to the mass produced products from the Far East. This ethos has gained us recognition as one of the leading manufacturers of uPVC products in the United Kingdom.

We have just had two windows and patio doors installed by Paul and Steve. They were very professional and accommodating. This is the first time that we have used Academy Windows and were most impressed from start to finish. Many thanks. We will be using you again in the near future.

Academy windows replaced all of the windows on our property and installed bifold doors, a roof lantern and a new front door. The customer service was fantastic throughout. They supplied and installed in stages to suit the phases of our renovation and extension, were quick to get us booked in as soon as we were ready. The suppliers were professional, clean and tidy and did a fantastic job. The products I am so pleased with - totally transformed the house The staff in the office were also super helpful Great experience and great company, I’d thoroughly recommend to anyone and would most definitely use them again in the future

Dear Academy Windows, Thank you for the good job your lads have done tutting in our five new windows in our bungalow in Brightlingsea, we were very pleased with the quality and finish of the windows, and also the way your lads cleaned up when they had finished, even to the point of cleaning the glass inside and out so it was spotless when they left, as for the price of the work We were pleasantly surprised, We will certainly recommend you, Excellent work thank you.

From the initial enquiry, the service from Allen Installations has been excellent. As most customers I expect we had many questions on style, colour, design options and all were answered in a timely manner, and the costs agreeable. Work commenced as planned and completed as expected. Over the course of the installation, we has various Allen Installations fitters assist due to the size of the project, but at all times we had Mike and Mark overseeing all the work. The attention to detail, options on how parts should be finished always discussed. It seems quite rare these days to get 100% great service, but on this occasion we did, and I would without doubt recommend them to family and friends, which we already have!

1st class job from 1st class fitters. This is the second time I have used Academy windows from Brightlingsea and they didn't disappoint. Their attention to detail is second to none, which is why I returned to them to complete my most recent project. I asked for the same team of fitters which was dually dispatched, in fact, at one point I thought I was on DIY SOS programme as the company dispatched 3 teams. They completed the whole house including windows, doors and the porch within the agreed schedule and at a very competitive price as I had shopped around 4 companies. They are and will be my go to trader and I have no reservations in recommending them to anyone. They are professional, detailed, polite and leave the workplace clean and tidy everyday on finishing. Job well done...

We replaced a series of old windows. We were very impressed with the initial design process (we submitted pictures and full drawings were sent to us). The installation itself was very efficiently carried out, with very little mess or inconvenience. We would be happy to use again.

Academy windows were great from the start, helping us in selecting the right windows for us and not just telling us to go with the more expensive options. In fact after talking to them we saved £700 from our initial online quote. Installation was done quickly, with the workspaces left tidy and there was very little touching up to be done. There was a demonstration on the easy clean hinges. A very positive experience. We will require other windows to be replaced in the future and we will definitely be coming back to Academy.
