We decided to go with Acorn being a small family business. It took the company 6 months from start to finish to install our windows. We felt the installation service was diabolical and on one of our windows the glass had to be replaced 4 times before it was finally complete. Our bay window was left with black gaffa tape over 4 of the Windows due to broken glass. I think this occasion was a 'one off' and unfortunately we won't be using this company again for our conservatory due to the headaches we had with the windows being installed.

We at Acorn Windows in Nottingham are naturally very upset to read this review. All customers at Acorn have our MD's phone number and direct e mail address and he is not aware of any customer who has experienced this poor level of service. We have our own in-house glass manufacturing unit to correct any glass breakages or errors swiftly so would not need to use "black gaffer tape" for any length of time.
Poor service and delays

We were contacted 2 days before our patio doors were to be fitted and told the supplier had not provided them. This led to a further 3 week delay. The fitters arrived late in the morning on the day and when we phoned, we were told they had “overslept”. Trims were not fitted and we were told they would call back when the supplier had provided them. We phoned a couple of weeks later, having heard nothing and a date for a fitter to call was arranged. The fitter did not have the trims when he came but made adjustments and fitted a number of screws that had been omitted. A further date was arranged for the trims to be fitted but the fitters did not arrive on the day, despite me phoning the office late in the afternoon and being assured they would come. They phoned the next day saying they had been delayed and were coming that day. I asked the fitters to tell someone from the office to contact me as I was unhappy with the service. The next I heard was a phone call asking for payment, some 3 weeks later. We used this firm because they are local and we believed we would get a good service. We would not use them again and would not recommend them.

James Hibbert MD of Acorn replies ... Having become accustomed to getting such positive feedback from our valued customers it is naturally hugely disappointing to have a dissatisfied customer and on behalf of everyone at Acorn I would like to apologise to our customer. I have been in touch to learn more about their experience and offered to meet them personally but my offer was politely declined. In fairness this was a bespoke dual colour aluminium door and we would have known at the outset that this would take a long time to complete a) due to the order process for this product and b) because we could not order any decorative trims until the job was complete because they would have to be individually sprayed to the bespoke colour and you cannot determine which trims are required until the door is installed. From now on we will make customers with this type of product more aware of the delay after the initial installation before the project can be completed. As it used to say on my school reports - "could do better". We will learn from this as a team and have donated £100 to The Friary Homeless Charity based on Nottingham.

Disgusting communication and customer service from Acorn Windows, would not use this company again for any further work.I recently put an order in for the replacement of a patio door and kitchen window as part of a significant home improvement project. The project went very well, the replacement window and door from Acorn Windows were fraught with disaster. And problems of which I had to chase continuously With phone calls and taking time off work to wait in for. Even after complaining to James Hibbert and sending photos of his teams work there was no offer of an apology ! When we were researching the company a letter of commendation was found which was dated 29th February 2017, however it was written 30th March 2016! . It seems communication may be an issue.

A reply from our Managing Director - James Hibbert. I am so sorry to hear of your disappointment with the level of service and communication. I am aware that our installer had a road traffic accident on the way to start your project so we certainly did not get off to the best start. I also notice that you have used us before and have been quite happy in the past. We have again emphasised on our paperwork to customers that my direct e mail address and direct mobile phone number is available to all of our customers and I will personally visit anyone who is unhappy - although we will of course do our very best as a local family business to keep all customers happy, even when mistakes occur. We have hundreds of thank you letters at our showroom and I have tried (unsuccessfully) to find the one described as being with an incorrect date. I can assure everyone that all of our letters are all 100% genuine and are on display for anyone to see. As a gesture of goodwill we will send £100 to a charity of Nicola's choice and have emailed this offer directly to her and her husband. Our chosen charity for this year is Treetops Hospice in Risley.

Thank you Joan - as much as we really appreciate positive feedback I have to be honest and say that I think your review is for "Acorn Stairlifts" not Acorn Windows. I founded Acorn Windows 30 years ago based on honesty so don't want to claim credit when it is meant for another company ... Regards James Hibbert MD

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.

Thank you Tracy - our last review of 2021 and a positive one for which we are most grateful. I couldn't fault your reasoning for "only" giving us 4/5 and I am sorry we didn't score full marks - we are now fully back on track with surveying after a deluge of orders. May I wish you and Nigel a Happy New Year ... James.

Great fitters on both occasions as the work was split into two jobs. I was clearly informed that this would be the case by Acorn. All work went exactly to plan, on time and with no issues. The fitters worked hard and did a great job. Would definitely recommend the business based on my experiences. Thank you.

Thank you for leaving such a positive review. Depending on the work required we have a variety of installers and some are specialists in certain areas which is why we occasionally split jobs using two different teams. We are pleased that you are happy with the work carried out and thank you for choosing Acorn.

We asked Acorn to replace most of our old windows and two doors. Their quotation was almost identical to another quotation, so I am satisfied that the price was fair. From initial contact to the completion of the job, all their staff were polite, helpful and considerate. Acorn kept to its deadlines; a couple of small issues arose during the process but these were resolved very quickly and, in the end, the job was completed in accordance with the original timetable. We paid a bit more for strengthened low-emission glass and can only say that we are delighted with the result: the units look very smart, the fitters were efficient and clean - everything was properly tidied up - and the glass clearly does perform well for both temperature control and noise-reduction. It is early days (only a week or two since they finished) but, as things stand, we would happily use Acorn again.

We have converted our conservatory into an orangery and the result is superb. A roof has been erected and the whole room re-plastered giving us a sunny room we can use all year round. Acorn Windows are not the cheapest but you do get what you pay for and we are thrilled with the result.
