Had a new door fitted by Acorn windows a year ago and what a great service we received from the first phone called to the completion. So when I lost my keys and needed a new lock they were the first choice to call and again I wasn't disappointed new looks fitted all with in an hour. Thank you to all the staff with in the company would definitely recommend this company to anyone. X

We wanted to use a local family run window company and as we had already used Acorn Windows for small job before (i.e. back door fitting), we decided that we would obtain a quote. All the measuring was done with precision, and the windows were made to our specification. Work commenced 4 weeks later. We can't fault any of the work, the window fitters were excellent. We would have no hesitation recommending Acorn Windows to family and friends.

We selected Acorn Windows for a complete replacement of our home windows. The service from quote, surveying and installation was completed in the time arranged. The two fitters, Jason & Michael, completed in our view, an exceptional job making all reasonable efforts to keep disturbance to an absolute minimum. Would be happy to recommend Acorn.

James visited and gave honest advise on what door and glass we required and left a quality brochure for me and my wife to consider the design. Ordered a new composite door with side panels - grey outside and white inside. Confirmation came with the installation date and on the day (as promised) the guys came and did a great job + helped me fix/adjust another door. All clean and tidy and the door is excellent. All in all very help happy with all aspects and would thoroughly recommend Acorn Windows.

We needed new entrance doors at our Scout Hall and obtained 3 quotations. I was delighted to see Acorn gave us the best quotation because when they had rebuilt my conservatory at home 12 years earlier they did a great job at an excellent price. There sales pitch was not “hard sell”, genuinely knowledgeable and friendly. The double, outward opening doors were fitted on a day that suited out usage of the Hall. The fitters were polite and careful and cleaned up thoroughly. It was a delight to be able to recognise people who had worked on my conservatory 12 years ago...and they were still working for Acorn. Thank you James and all your team, we are happy to recommend you without any reservations.

I have had a lantern in a flat-roof ceiling and bifold doors in the sun room. The planning was methodical, efficient and creative. The fitting has been amazing. Mick and Wayne worked as a seamless team, leaving everything neat and tidy every day. They were cheerful, self-contained and helpful. I recommend them, 100% and am already planning to have the front door replaced.

We asked Acorn for a quote back in January which was received in a timely manner. Due to Covid-19 the work had to be stalled but on the 5th June the work started. From the scaffolders (separate company) to the guys who came to the house, they were courteous and very clean and tidy. Will definitely use Acorn again.

"Clean & Tidy" are definitely the words to describe how we should be working and thank you for taking the time to give us such a positive review. Covid brought everything to a halt but we are back and as strong as ever and are so grateful for your patience. We use two scaffolding companies - small friendly family business like Acorn - so we will pass on your thanks to them. Thank you for choosing us, thank you for bearing with us and we hope to see you again for future work ...

We are absolutely delighted with the quality of the doors, windows and patio doors installed by Acorn. We are amazed by the quality of the materials used right down to the hinges on the doors. Even now we are still commenting on how good the windows and doors look and feel. We couldn't be happier with the whole process. When James came to assess the work required, he was honest in telling us that sometimes things go wrong but they pride themselves in sorting any problems out fast. I like this because he was honest and true to his word. A couple of things did require sorting out, but these were sorted to our complete satisfaction. We will be recommending Acorn to our friends and family and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for outstanding quality and excellent value for money.

This is a review that means a lot to everyone at Acorn. We met Mr & Mrs D several times, at their home and at our showroom and we know they took a lot of time deciding who to use and we were delighted that they chose Acorn. This was another project that was interrupted by Covid but they could not have been more understanding. There were a few "niggles" which took longer to resolve due to the pandemic but Mr & Mrs D were so polite, friendly and understanding. Thank you if you read this. We recall Mr D requiring "soundproof glass" in his office due to numerous zoom and conference calls and we gather this has worked brilliantly. For any future customers reading this we would like to thank the hundreds of customers in 2020 who have put up with delays and interruption to their projects without complaint - we really appreciate your support and we are heading into 2021 - our 32nd year in business, stronger than ever and totally committed to our customers - past and present.

The word that springs immediately to mind to describe Acorn is amazing. I truly mean that. They are professional, thorough and courteous. I cannot speak highly enough of the team. The fitters Mathew and Lewis are stars. I have one hundred percent confidence in recommending them. My windows, soffit/fascia and cladding look stunning. Thank you so much Acorn Windows.

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.

This is the 3rd time that we've used Acorn, having previously used them to replace our upstairs & bay windows. This time, we needed to replace our back door. Edgar was very helpful in suggesting the different options that were available to us, & we ultimately went with his recommendation of a door with an integral tilt & turn panel. The installation engineer was also very helpful & did an excellent job with the installation, including showing us how to use the lock & keys (which operate in a slightly unusual way). The integral tilt & turn panel looked even better than we expected, and we have been making full use of it ever since. After the installation, we had some minor issues with obtaining extra keys and the door started sticking. We reported these issues to Acorn and the Managing Director came round to discuss them in person. This was a mutually beneficial process, and we were very happy with both the discussion and the resultant action. It is rare to find a company that is so willing to own, learn from and rectify their mistakes. We will definitely keep using Acorn in future!

This is a classic example of turning a negative into a positive. James came round when you flagged up minor dissatisfaction regarding the lock ordering issue and we have learnt from that and added it to our customer notes going forward. Being a Police Approved company with associated locks means they cannot be cut without registering them online first. Your door looks amazing ... a PVCu stable door ... Thanks for coming back to Acorn Windows

Acorn Windows were absolutely fantastic to deal with, very professional throughout, a breath of fresh air to be honest. Dealing with David and Sam was a great experience. Dave and Brad fitted eight windows and a front door, they were extremely polite, efficient, tidy workers who took a genuine pride in doing a great job. Jay and Roger followed up on some additional work required, again the same applies, what great teams! A big thank you for taking such pride in your work, so much appreciated!

What a lovely review and we thoroughly enjoyed working at your home. You have mentioned 6 people individually which is much appreciated and whilst it is unusual to have two different installation teams working on the same project we are grateful for your kind words about both of the teams involved. It is kind of you to praise Sam and David who work tirelessly from our head office keeping our customers happy and informed. Thank you for choosing Acorn Windows.

I have been using Acorn Windows for around 20 years, starting with soffits, facias & guttering. Since then I have helped both my son and daughter with work on their first own homes and now some on the mother-in-law's house in two weeks time. Yesterday we had a new back door with side window fitted. Initially there were some problems for the first time ever with the fitting date being re-arranged 3 times. So I was very frustrated with Acorn. It seems these delays were caused by illness in their fitting teams and they recently explained they don't like using contract fitters whose work may not be to the same standards as their own employed fitters. In the end we were pleased with this approach as Jason & Roger did a great job yesterday. They were both very pleasant and explained all they were doing. When finished they demonstrated the workings of the door, including how the key should be used for locking (slightly different from some other doors). They also cleaned up well and left no mess. So our faith in Acorn has been restored and we look forward to a similarly high quality job at the mother-in law's in two weeks time.

We are glad we finally got to carry out the work and you are delighted. Jason and Roger are quite a team and definitely full of humour between them! Because we only have our own full time teams in our liveried vehicles if a team is ill (and on this occasion they were off for over six weeks) it causes havoc with our fitting schedule as unlike other companies we refuse to bring in subcontractors who may compromise our high quality fitting standards. Thank you for your patience and understanding and also for leaving a positive review.

This is the 2nd time using Acorn windows. Very competitive company. Work carried out to replace 8 windows at our house. Everyone we dealt with at Acorn was very polite and helpful. Big shout out to Jason and Roger who worked great as a team in completing the install in 1 and half days! 🥳 Property left tidy apart from a lovely covering of dust which couldn't be avoided with having to remove old brick cills! 😀Thanks again Acorn Windows.
