Window and door replacement

We had a window replaced with french doors and a door + window replaced with a larger window in our kitchen. This included all brickwork and two new lintels. The price was very competitive and Jamie and son Josh did an absolutely brilliant job. From the outside, it looks original and has completely changed the way our kitchen looks and feels. Will definitely use Acorn again in the future and would highly recommend.

Just had a conservatory installed in my bungalow after having four windows and a door fitted the previous year from Acorn Windows, they are a dream to deal with very efficient and professional, the quality of the product coupled with the skill of the fitters actually makes for a fantastic end result. James the MD did the quote and though they did a couple of extras which were not on the quote the price given was what they charged, Mick who does the measurements and goes through how the end product will look is at the top of his game, everything fitted perfectly and was exactly as described, the bricklayers were superb and Steve (Tomo) the fitter and his workmate Adam worked like Trojans in foul weather to deliver a superb conservatory. If you are thinking of having a conservatory this company is well worth employing.

Acorn Windows have done a considerable amount of work on our property over a 5-month period. All the house windows were replaced, the roofline changed to plastic and the gables faced with lead cladding. In addition they constructed a large 6m x 3m garden room with large opening doors and a triangular window over one of the doors. The house has been modernised and upgraded. All the work has been carried out to a very high standard and all the workmen from their own company, or under contract, have been very skilled, polite and tidy. We have no hesitation recommending them.

Acorn Windows came highly recommended by a friend and lived up to all expectations. I needed a very old glass lean to replacing on my house. James came out and suggested increasing the amount of glass to maximise light. This consultation was followed by a prompt and competitive quote. The fitters were on time, polite and really hard working. They worked quickly and left everything tidy each night. The finish is outstanding! The new windows and glass roof have transformed the space. I’m over the moon! Very highly recommend using Acorn Windows.

I had 2 old aluminium windows replaced in my bungalow as part of refurbishment a living room bay window and a bedroom window. The price was competitive and the process from start to finish straightforward with surveying and installation dates kept to. The bay roof lathe and plaster ceiling was damaged prior to window installation and the fitters gave me some advice on repair / replacement of the area including the need for insulation which was helpful

Asked for picture window to replace broken door and fix water ingress. After consultation and discussion Juliet balcony -which was poorly made by previous builder was removed, window placed, roof made to fit in with rest of roof. Beautiful job. Courteous conscientious builder-Mick- polite hard working considerate. Work done to very high standard. Answered all my questions. Used Acorn before , who replaced my front door and built my porch. They were fantastic then. I trust them completely They will not do things that don’t need doing but they do everything to make the job professionally well done and to high standard. They will be adaptive if needed and correct any issues or damage if caused-great work

Just a quick note to thank James, Mick and their team for their friendly and utterly professional commitment to excellence. From the original conversation with James, through every aspect of detail of our new orangery, the removal of our old conservatory and on to the erection of our extension….everything has been simply first class. They have a waiting list for a reason: they’re marvellous! Thanks again.

Thank you for choosing Acorn for your replacement orangery - and also for your kind words. We build a lot of these throughout the year but yours really stood out due to the flush fitting frames which added so much to the character of the new room. We have let everyone who worked on the project, including Mick who managed it for you, of your 5 star review. Many thanks. James

I want to thank the whole team for talking through options and plans, answering questions, coordinating the teams of professionals and delivering the build extension to such a high quality.

We are very fortunate with the team who work on our extension projects and thank you for taking the time to leave a review praising them. Mick who looks after all the tradespeople and co-ordinates their work with our customers worked on one of our first conservatories in 1992, as did Andy and Tony, one of our building teams. Ironically it was on a large project for the bank manager who turned down our application for a loan to expand Acorn Windows - he didn't think it would work in such a competitive environment, he is still a loyal customer to this day! Thank you very much for recommending us to other potential customers.

From beginning to end everything was just perfect. no gimmicks, no nonsense, no pressure, no hard sell, just honest professionalism. I had a new front door and side panels fitted. I was very impressed with the two fitters who worked with such care for my home. I had mentioned that I wanted to sell my old door and side panels so they removed them with care. Although it cannot be guaranteed, none of my decoration was damaged at all, my carpets were covered up properly, they had respect for my home. I had had four previous quotes prior to Acorn Windows quoting me, some cheaper some more expensive, but as previously stated ,I liked the no nonsense approach, no pressure, no hard sell. Just an invite to come and view the show home which was by the way very impressive,you can actually see the quality of the products. I had one very minor problem with my door, which was corrected within days. The after sales are great nothing is a problem. I am so satisfied that I am now booked in to have three windows replaced in February. Oh,and I never bothered having quotes from anyone else !!!!

Sash window replacement
Customer Service
Quality
Value
This is the second time Acorn has worked for us. Last year they replaced windows to the rear of the house. The quality of their work then, gave us confidence to ask them to undertake the major task of replacing ground floor and first floor bay windows with double glazed sash windows. We were particularly anxious that the Edwardian features of the house would not be compromised and spent a great deal of time with the Acorn Surveyor on that point. We were very impressed at the amount of detailed work he undertook. We specifically asked for the same team we had last year to undertake this work and Acorn were happy to agree to that. This helped enormously in reducing some of the stress of having such major work undertaken. Brad and Dave are outstanding craftsmen and we have been so impressed at the quality of their work. In order to retain the character of the house a significant amount of joinery was required. Moulded timber architrave was cut to match the original window surround. Matt undertook this work with great skill. We suspect that there were some additional costs incurred, for example a plumber had to remove radiators for plastering to be completed and lead work had to be undertaken which had not been anticipated. But the original quote for the work was not altered. From start to finish we were so impressed with the quality of work undertaken and the house is now completely double glazed without the character of the house being compromised. Well done Acorn.

Dear Mr & Mrs - a glowing report indeed and thank you for naming some of our team members - they will be absolutely delighted. Your home required period vertical sliding sash windows in PVCu to replicate the original timber windows - together with very detailed internal timber architraves. We took some photos after we had finished and another local customer has ordered windows for an identical project based on the work we carried out for you. Thank you for choosing Acorn.

We have used Acorn many times over the past few years to install doors, windows, a conservatory and a garden room. On each occasion, the work has been of a very high standard and when any remedial work has been required they have attended to it promptly without any quibble. Timekeeping has been very good and on the rare occasion where there was a problem, they let us know of the change well in advance. I would have no hesitation in recommending them, in fact, have done so on many occasions to friends.

Following a competitive quote from James, we were visited by David who surveyed our requirements and then by Jason and Craig who installed new front and back doors. Despite a small hiccup when our order was lost and then we had to chase the surveyor, all other interactions with Acorn have been good. This is the only reason I’ve given them 4/5 for ‘customer service’. If I was rating the actual surveyor who did the work and the fitters themselves, they would have received 5/5. The work carried out by two fitters, in particular, was first class. They were courteous, tidy and friendly. They turned up on time and just got on with the work required without any fuss. We’ve used Acorn now to have a conservatory built, new windows and now new doors. We would definitely recommend them as a reliable, competitive and trustworthy company.

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 .

The work carried out included 10 replacement UPVC window frames/glazing and 1 replacement UPVC door/glazing. We are very pleased with the work which has been carried out. The windows and door have smartened up the appearance of our house markedly, there has been a noticeable reduction in noise intrusion from outside (don’t know about any temperature benefits yet!), and we were happy with the workmanship of the fitting team (Matthew and Lewis), who were courteous and helpful throughout, including resolution of some very minor snagging issues. Thank you, Acorn Window.

It is brilliant you have mentioned noise reduction which is one of the many great features of having new windows and doors. We concentrate so much on energy efficiency/appearance/maintenance-free/security etc that it is sometimes easy to forget what great accoustic benefits new products bring. I am sure the temperature-benefits will be noted over the next few winter months!

After having three quotes from Double Glazing firms for fitting five sash windows we chose Acorn. Being able to visit their Nottingham showroom was very helpful. We also had a personal recommendation from neighbours. Acorn were not the cheapest quote but the service and quality of the product was outstanding. Father and son, Dave and Brad fitted our windows and we can't praise them highly enough. They clearly came with many years of experience. Work was finished to a very high standard and they cleared up very carefully after the days work and consulted closely with us. We will be having Acorn back to complete the double glazing of the house next year and have asked that Dave and Brad return to undertake that work.

As ever, we could not be more happy when a customer takes the time to leave such a positive review. This was a period property where our customers wanted to retain the look of vertical sliding windows with internal architraves in timber to match the original windows. It is a credit to Dave & Brad and our "follow on" joinery team that we achieved the end result. Thank you for choosing Acorn and we look forward to returning in 2022 to carry on with the remaining windows.

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.

Acorn windows have worked with us over the last two years to supply and fit replacements for old wooden windows at St Pauls Church in West Bridgford. They quickly provided us with a very competitive detailed quotation for seven windows and allowed us to phase the work across our financial accounting years to make the work possible. They also provided help and advice whilst we sought approval for the work. We are delighted with the work which has greatly improved the appearance of the building, improved heat retention and saved us from maintenance associated with the original wooden frames. The fitting teams were helpful and polite and worked cleanly and efficiently. After sales service has been excellent and Acorn have responded rapidly and effectively to remedy issues we have raised. Overall we are very satisfied and will use them again in the future.
