Acorn have recently completed another project for us, this time a garage conversation. I'm absolutely delighted with the results. James, Mick and the team gave the usual high levels of customer care and the standard of workmanship is second to none.

We had two windows replaced by Acorn Windows yesterday. Excellent service from the two fitters who came to the property and our new windows look fantastic. No complaints and we will definitely be using Acorn windows again.

Acorn have just competed their 3rd job for us (first was 14 years ago!) and yet again, they were brilliant. Great price, excellent communications from the office team and fabulous fitters. Highly delighted (again) and we recommend them without hesitation.

Fantastic company, not only do they give help and support for their own products, they solved a problem from another company who charged us 95 to not put things right. Can't recommend them highly enough. Can't wait for them to do further work for us, safe in the knowledge that we will be cared for all the way

Acorn Windows Nottingham has made a superb job of our Orangery. From planning, building, fitting of the lantern roof, windows and bifold doors, all the work has been done to a very superb standard. Finishing the exterior with render blends the new extension perfectly with our period property. Couldn't be more pleased. We have since asked Acorn to replace our old porch door and fit a new front door and side window for another family member. Would highly recommend.

After having our new bespoke door booked in since the middle of October, and paying a deposit, we had the installation cancelled twice, just the afternoon before it was due to take place at 8.30am the next morning. Being a several times returning satisfied customer, we have now cancelled our order due to their unwillingness to offer any discount or compensation for the inconvenience this has caused us.

Originally they even told us that we were still obliged to pay for the door, due to it being made to measure, but after involving the Managing Director, he 'decided' they'd use it in their showroom, sooner than offer a reduction! All in all, 6 months wait and still NO DOOR! Very disappointed that Acorn are no longer the customer satisfaction orientated business they were. :
