Isle of Arran double glazing and roofline installation
Customer Service
Quality
Value
A thoroughly professional team of installers replaced original wooden windows, doors and roofline materials to our house on the Isle of Arran with high quality UPVC equivalents. Excellent communication with us prior to and throughout the four day installation. Careful and tidy removal of old materials, with unhurried installation of new items. Internal original timber sills and bathroom tiles retained throughout. Mastic work to a very high standard. Minimal disturbance, with house back to normal, including sparkling new windows, as they left. Competitive price, especially as location is on Isle of Arran. Very pleased to recommend.

The work from this company is truly excellent. The job was surveyed promptly and communication about when the job was to be done was accurate. The windows and roofline are of very good quality and made in Scotland. The team who fitted the items were a joy to have around. I can’t believe how much warmer the rooms in which the new windows were fitted are. Overall a local company using Scottish products doing an exemplary job.

Needed new windows on my property so after doing my research, contacted Armour Home Improvements to request a quote and was immediately impressed with the friendly service. Their surveyor came out to give me a quote which I accepted, The windows were fitted by a very professional team who not only paid great attention to the fitting but also to my home which was carefully covered with dustsheets, the workmen hoovered and tidied after the installation, what a team!! Would I recommend them? DEFINITELY, would have no hesitation. Exactly what was required and the price was extremely good

Armour Home Improvements recently supplied and installed 12 replacement double glazed windows and a new composite front door in our home. We received quotes from four companies (including Armour) and carefully considered the reviews for each before making a decision. Armour was the only company who didn’t sit in our lounge for hours or hound us every other day to make a decision to proceed. The reviews for Armour were excellent compared with their competitors and they couldn’t be beat on price coming in several thousand pounds cheaper. The actual installation was earlier than expected and was done with the minimum of disruption and mess. We wanted to retain a lot of the original surrounds and cills and were concerned about tiles being damaged in our bathroom so we were absolutely delighted to find not a single one cracked and only a couple of small cracks on the original surrounds that were easily repaired. A couple of days after the installation we had a small issue with one of the windows not closing which we were told was common as the windows settle. Armour had someone out half an hour after we phoned and the window realigned within the hour. We really can’t recommend Armour enough- brilliant local supplier on value, quality and customer service with an insurance backed guarantee.

From the moment John came to give me the quote the process was simple and easy. The windows were measured and ordered. . The company only asked for a small deposit putting no risk onto me at all. I was given a date for install and windows were fitted by 2 lads who were very clean and Tidy. It was very clear they know what they were talking about making the install very straight forward.

We were in need of replacing our front door that past its end-of-life date and thought to give Armour Home Improvements a try, after a recommendation by an other business years ago. The whole process from start to finish was well handled by Armour Home Improvements (AHI) and they took the time to answer all of our questions. They were also very patient during the process of choosing the right front door. We did have quite a few change of minds with the various colours and options available and at no time did we have the impression that AHI got impatient or annoyed with us. Installation was also carried out very professionally and apart from the usual noise from the power tools hardly disturbed our daily routine. They also tidied up very neatly at the end of the day - probably the tidiest company I have ever seen! Very happy with our new front door and the service received. Highly recommend!

They dismantled the roof, windows and door of the old conservatory and erected new frame, roof, windows and door. The tradesmen worked hard all day every day. They laid plywood and sheets to protect my wooden flooring and tidied at the end of every day. The job was done to the agreed schedule and budget. The tradesmen were pleasant and just got on with the job. I would use them again.

We went with Armour after seeing the reviews and were not disappointed. Really friendly people, knowledgeable, and helpful. We got 9 new windows fitted, some very large, and a new front door, which we are delighted with. Chris and Leo were great, answering any questions we had during the install. Will be back in touch with them once we decide what we’re doing with the other door/window!

We used Armour based on local recommendations. Everything worked well, from the initial query through to the installation. The pricing was reasonable and the people we dealt with were all very helpful. The difference it has made to the overall look of my property is incredible. We'd been tempted just to go with one of the big national firms initially just as I assumed it would be easier. I won't be tempted again, and this local firm will be recommended by me to anyone looking for installation of doors etc.

New Roofline

Really pleased with the new roofline and guttering we’ve just had fitted. What a terrific difference it’s made to our home. From the initial quote to fitting it took around 10 weeks which in my opinion is great given the difficulties faced within the supply chain right now. The quote was fully detailed and explained everything that would happen and speaking to the team throughout they kept me fully informed. I felt the quote was extremely competitive with other firms and opted to proceed with Armour as a result of their status with Which and scores on Trustpilot. The workmen were terrific, clean and tidy throughout and have completed the work to an extremely high standard. We did have one minor hiccup with a join of the fascia’s to next door and it was fixed within less than 24 hours following a call to the office. I can’t recommend the company enough. Delighted with the finish.

From our first contact with Armour until the completion of the job we have had a great experience. The work was surveyed, impartial advice on door choices given and a very competitive quote provided. At no time did we feel obligated to accept the quote or pressurised into making a decision. The team replaced three external doors and an internal door and created a new, enclosed porch. The major work was carried out in two days with the minimum of disruption or mess. The team were polite and ensured we were satisfied with the job and kept up to date with progress. The doors are fitted perfectly and there is no damage to any plasterwork surrounding the frames. A first class job and we would use Armour again for any other home improvements and have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Selected Armour HI from three quotes as they seemed to be the most professional and efficient company of the three. What a great selection. Efficient, professional, tidy, and showed pride in their work. We had a couple of small hiccups on the way but they were dealt with so well and to me and my wife's delight. Have no problem with recommending John and his team and we will be in touch as soon as our next improvement occurs. Thanks John for making us feel like we were special customers.

I originally selected Armour Home Improvements to provide a quote to replace all my windows and doors as they were a 'Which' recommended business. John and his son came out promptly to assess the work and submitted a very competitive quote which I was more than happy to accept. There were some delays due to supply difficulties brought about by lockdown but John kept me fully apprised until my full order was delivered. His team turned up on the agreed fitting date and completed the work over a few days. I have deliberately held back on submitting a review to see how they would deal with any potential snagging issues. We required a couple of minor adjustments and Armour have returned to address these. The quality of their products and workmanship has been excellent so I can wholly recommend them to anyone looking to replace their windows and doors.

The job entailed remedying a leakage of water from our conservatory roof. It was a somewhat awkward job, partly because the access was limited.

I hired Armour Home Improvements to carry out work in my garden, which involved constructing and rendering a brick wall, erecting a cedar fence and building a decking platform. It was the first time I had planned a project of this size, and from the earliest discussions to the end of the work I found John very helpful in providing advice on how to achieve the end result I wanted and very knowledgable about materials. His quote for the job was also very reasonable. His team of workers were efficient and hard working, and they were happy to discuss any aspect of the work as it progressed. John also hired in other tradesmen to build the wall and to render it once complete, and the quality of the work carried out by everyone involved in the project was evident from day one. My wife and I are thrilled with the end result, and we feel very fortunate to have found Armour Home Improvements to carry out the work for us. We really were thoroughly satisfied on every level, and we would not hesitate to recommend Armour to anyone considering home improvements. We will certainly return to them in future when we require further work on our own home.

I've had lots of work done by John over the years. Our first job was to have the double glazing replaced back in 2015. Since then we've had French doors fitted, new internal doors fitted, the whole roof-line of the house done. His workmanship, cleanliness and efficiency is top class, I would absolutely recommend him to anybody. I've never had a bunch of guys so clean and hard-working, everything went smoothly every time. When they came to do one job recently they even gave my old window a service which was an extra bonus. My family have also used him and all very pleased. It is hard to find a decent trader these days so I will definitely continue using him.
