I have patio doors that run the full width of my house and their replacement represented a significant investment for me. I was nervous about selecting a supplier bu couldn't have chosen anyone better. I was very impressed with the whole team at Acorn Windows; they managed the whole process very smoothly despite my installation being scheduled during the Covid19 lockdown. Everyone I dealt with answered all my questions fully and promptly, and those coming to the house always arrived when they said they would. While I was impressed with all the staff, the team who did the main installation definitely deserve a special mention. They were polite and accommodating, extremely professional and meticulous in their work, and left my room much better finished than when they started. I am delighted with my new doors and with the service provided by Acorn Windows and will not hesitate to use them again if the need arises.

Our first review in the midst of Covid19 and much appreciated by the whole team at Acorn. We have been through 3 recessions since we started in 1989 but having to close our business for so long for all but essential work has been tough. You and so many customers were patient and understanding - thankyou very much. Having to "down tools" midway through projects in March could have led to dissatisfaction but it is thanks to everyone at Acorn and customers like you that we all worked together.
Great repair job
Once again first class work. Was having problem with bedroom window as in I couldn’t close it. Must make fact known it is over twenty years old. Gentleman who came ,despite having to be up a ladder in the rain fixed it and said no charge because he hadn’t used any mater. All I can say is a very big thankyou to Acorn Windows who having giving a great service for over twenty years.

We have a policy of not charging for minor work even when it is out of guarantee - customers have been loyal to us for over 31 years since we started in 1989 so it is good to "give something back".

We chose Acorn Windows to build our Orangery after seeing the high quality replacement windows they had fitted in a neighbouring property. Due to the pandemic, we decided against project managing the build ourselves, opting instead for a turnkey finish. Planning permission was necessary as we live in a conservation area, so having Acorn recommend an Architect and arrange for a Building Inspector was very helpful. The work of the build team (Tony, Andy and Mick) was fantastic, they always arrived on site when they said they would and we were kept informed at every stage. They all showed great attention to detail and the site was kept immaculately clean throughout the build. All the subcontractors (skip provider, building suppliers, roofers, electrician, plumber and plasterers) were well coordinated which made the work progress very smoothly. The Orangery was completed at the price originally quoted with no hidden extras. Our sincere thanks goes to James and all the Acorn Windows team as the final result has exceeded all our expectations. Although the Orangery is a new extension to a period property, it blends in beautifully due to the complementary rendered finish. We would highly recommend Acorn Windows (Nottingham) and would definitely to use their services again.

Mr & Mrs H - you have been an absolute pleasure to work with and we have had so many lovely comments from locals who live in your village because the extension has completely transformed the house. 2 more customers have ordered extensions based solely on seeing us working at your home. You could not have been more welcoming to everyone who has worked with you - you even made our lads drinks when they were working near your home - that was before we had even quoted for your project! Thank you for all the recommendations to friends and family ...

We have just had 3 upstairs rooms fitted with uPVC sliding sash windows and a composite door fitted by Acorn. Thank you Matthew and Lewis, you have done a great job and left the house as clean and tidy as when you arrived. Thanks to the office team too, you have kept us fully informed from first contact. This is the third time we have used Acorn and have been absolutely delighted on each occasion.

Our first impression of Acorn Windows as a company was a positive one involving their Director James Hibberts visiting and quoting for the work required. There was no heavy selling but simply a clear outline of the options and leaving us to give thought to what had been discussed. We could possibly have got a lower price elsewhere but following a visit to their showroom we appointed Acorn as we felt the price was fair. We had new windows and both front and rear doors and are delighted with the quality of the product. The operatives Jason and Craig were punctual each day, courteous throughout and worked very hard and were very tidy.It was a pleasure to have them working in our home and they were excellent representatives of Acorn. We would have no hesitation in recommending Acorn .

Acorn windows removed my fragile, dirty stain glass leaded window and cleaned it before encapsulating it in a double glazed unit and fitting it. The communication throughout was excellent ( four visits needed ) and we are delighted with the results.

Following a significant amount of research we chose Acorn to replace our windows and doors. This was based on feedback from other customers and the obvious experience of their salesman and surveyor. At no time were they pushy, which cannot be said of other companies we requested quotes from. Their quote was competitive and we made several revisions which were all captured in the specification. When the installation started it became clear that removing the existing windows was going to be extremely difficult, but at no stage was it suggested that a short cut would be taken. The installation team (father and son) worked incredibly hard to ensure that all aspects of the specification were followed. The quality of work was outstanding. Having read so many stories about double glazing nightmares it was refreshing to have the work completed stress free. Choosing Acorn shows the benefit of choosing a family run company that really care about their customers, I cannot recommend them enough.

Thank you from the entire team at Acorn for leaving such a comprehensive and complimentary review. We started out in 1989 with a "no pressure" approach and it seems to have served us rather well ... and our customers! We are fortunate the have a few "Father and Son" teams and that is brilliant going forward because the sons are taught the correct approach and carry it through. Kind regards from James and the team.

With a new front door fitted - I would like to mention the guys who sorted this out. They did a very professional job and were well mannered, helpful, spoke with knowledge/experience and politeness. Going the extra mile to make the customer feel that they are valued. I would highly recommend Acorn Windows, plus the door looks fantastic.

Just had our old kitchen window replaced with a new one from Acorn Windows. Not s straight replacement as we wanted a slightly larger window which involved the removal of one course of bricks. But as usual no job is beyond the capabilities of Acorn Windows and we are delighted with the result. The fitters arrived within their allocated time and were both pleasant and courteous. They worked tirelessly to complete the job which included replacing a double glazed unit in our conservatory. The product is excellent quality and the work was completed to a high standard. Would not hesitate to recommend. A big thank you to James, Sam and the entire team. Finally, do not believe some of the very poor reviews out there which are clearly levelled at a different company. Make sure you use Acorn Windows (Nottingham) Ltd

Thank you so much for a) the glowing review b) pointing out the fact that people leave reviews on our site that are intended for the other "Acorn Windows" based around the UK who don't appear to uphold our high standards. We started in 1989 when Yellow Pages was the number 1 choice for advertising so any business beginning with an "A" had the upper hand ... still going strong after 26 years ... thank you for choosing us again.

Acorn have done an exceptional job replacing the all of the soffits and fascias to our property, along with the jewel in the crown, our newly rendered and boarded front elevation (see photo). Throughout the whole project, James, Mick 1, Mick 2 and the team have been nothing short of exceptional with the quality of work and level of customer care. I've used Acorn for over 20 years now and wouldn't dream of going anywhere else for our windows, doors, and building work.

I first used Acorn Windows of Nottingham to replace all soffits & fascias, along with guttering and downpipes. Acorn's Sales were not pushy but had all the right advice - so we proceeded. What a brilliant job they undertook, removing all the old and any debris or working components, leaving us with a clean and fresh site. About one (1) year later, because or the excellent service, our windows were in need of replacement all through (some 14 or so). Again, a good and timely meeting from a non-pushy Sales of Acorn led us to a great quotation (not the cheapest, but the quality was/is outstanding) and we proceeded. Fantastic result and never a problem since, even when we thought we had a blown glass, service was impeccable, as was the door adjustments we have had between winter and summer (some freak of heat making it difficult to open/close at specific times). Finally, this lead us to our all time "want" of a new conservatory. At a size of ~70 cubic metres, and underground drains, this was a mammoth task, or so I thought. The Acorn Surveyor was friendly and very approachable, giving (and taking) advice plus "wants" and "needs" into consideration. All planning matters (due to volume size) were again handled by Acorn. We opted for underground electrics sockets, fans and electric vent windows in our all-glass conservatory, the result - well...outstanding. In fact, Acorn has a 360 view of this on their website - take a look? No issues - nothing to difficult for Acorn!

After deciding to replace the soffits and fascias (together with all the associated trimmings) at our property in Sherwood we contacted several companies to obtain quotations. Acorn Windows (Nottingham) was on our shortlist, and having received personal recommendations from some of their customers as well as seeing some excellent reviews, decided to award them the contract. From the beginning to the end of the whole process, we could not fault their attitude, commitment and professionalism, with the whole work being completed within 4 weeks of placing the order. Excellent communication throughout - thoroughly recommended.
