We were extremely excited when we booked 3 windows and a front door to to be fitted with Anglian home improvements, especially as it was for our first home, so it meant a huge deal to us. Naturally I should of been put off when someone came to our house without invitation to sell windows, but I just by coincidence had been looking at windows & door quotes. So we had a salesman come over to tell us how incredible Anglians windows are, and how good the quality is. We fell for it. Unfortunately I can say with absolute certainty I would never, ever, deal with Anglian as a company ever again, never in a million years! The first issue was the glass got broken for our bathroom window when being installed, which got left smashed for over two months. This made the bathroom very cold. Secondly, when they tried to install the lounge window, the surveyor had unknowingly got the measurements wrong, and not only this but the installers didn't bother to check, so they went ahead and ripped out the old window, only to inform us 10 minutes later that they had to board it up. This for us was extremely stressful, a boarded up lounge was not only depressing and creepy, but freezing. It didn't help that the installers left pieces of plastic everywhere, empty tubes of sealant, and even a receipt for parts, all over our drive. They also forgot to foam in a window and left a gap, despite me saying "excuse me have you foamed this window?" And they said yes, which they hadn't and then returned two days later to foam it in. I tried not be too furious whilst calling them for an explanation or plan of action and apology as I know accidents happen especially with building type work, but it was very difficult to get through to anyone. After finally getting through to a manager, he explained that the installers has tried to blame the surveyor, I just wanted an apology and a plan of action to sort it out asap! I could only assume because of the absolute stress we had to go through and the increase in our energy bills due to having two rooms exposed, we would receive a discount. I tried to speak to a manager multiple times about this. They explained that Anglian flat out refuse to give any form of discounts, no matter the issue, unless it's an amount of £50 or so. This I found absolutely shocking and absurd considering the stress and issues they had caused us. Not only this, but two members of staff complained about the company to me down the phone! They've left foam marks around our window where it was boarded up the lounge window, which I still haven't managed to remove, which I find heart breaking to see. We have not received an official apology from the company in any shape or form. I emailed to the complaints team but they only tried to contact me once whilst I was in a work meeting. It also appears no departments speak to each other about what's happening, completely disjointed. Please spare yourself the upheaval and stress and go somewhere else. I've attached pictures of everything including the "good quality" we were promised.

Shocking quality AVOID We paid for triple glazed, energy efficient windows. Once installed we commented to the installer how we could still hear outside noises, whereas our other triple glazed windows (not Anglian) we couldn’t and also it felt draughty. Installer stated that it was due to the vents which were now a mandatory requirement. A few weeks later, still unhappy, my husband looked past the vents and found that the windows didn’t fit properly as there were big gaps at the top join! We firmly believe the installer knew this when he fitted them and tried to cover it up. Appalling. Wouldn’t recommend them to my worst enemy.

Pathetic company from installation, customer service and all the way up to the leading board. Paid nearly £20k for full windows and doors. Was told I needed lintels at a stupid price of £2.5k which is outrageous but they wouldn’t accept a third party to fit them or myself even tho I work in construction. This however proved a sore point for them as the lintels aren’t even as the such and are doing absolutely nothing at all as I’ve outlined so I’m waiting for a refund. This was paid at my expense also after they contacted me ten days before installation and said they couldn’t go ahead unless it was paid for. Having tried for 9 days to contact someone I was forced to go to the office and pay for them. The customer service is pathetic and it’s safe to say Anglian couldn’t run a bath let alone a business. Avoid this company at all costs and use a local window fitter. Support a local tradesman and don’t give these wasters your hard earned money. They don’t care about customers at all. I’ve emailed various people here who don’t reply even some 4-5 months after me sending emails. Funny how it doesn’t take that long to submit an order! Complete jokers!!!

It started with the salesman who said we couldn't have bi-folding doors or a radiator. We stupidly believed him and went ahead with the order. We paid £999.00 and then £3400 deposit. We were told 18-20 weeks for the start date which we were fine with. Twenty weeks came. We received an email with various information and amongst it we were told that the conservatory would not be built for another year - no specific date, just 'at least May 2023' We eventually spoke to the salesman who said 'how can I tell potential customers they have to wait 18 months?We made the decision that we could not wait for at least another year as our house was a new build and we needed to landscape the garden. We asked for our money back and were told that we couldn't. In the contract it states that they can change the date, however, it also states that it has to give an alternative date which they didn't. We argued with their solicitors but have got nowhere. Anglian do not care about their reputation or about their customers. Please be warned. We are now using another company who asked for £500 deposit. They gave us a date which they have stuck to and we only had to sign a simple contract. I wish that we had gone to them first. Shame on you Anglian.

Installation was cancelled twice - on the day of the appointment. First time because the fitter was ill and the second time because only one fitter turned up and, due to the size of the window, two were required. The third time only one of the fitters was an Anglian employee (warehouse manager) the other was a general builder/chippie, multi-skilled type. To get access to the outside of the window scaffolding was required. This is hired in and because of the delays in getting started that scaffolding was outside in the drive for 6 weeks. After installation, I noticed three black marks etched in the glass on the inner surface. The representative told me they would send out an engineer to buff theses out. I then made the mistake of paying, because in spite of contacting Anglian 3 times, they have not sent anyone out to fix the marks. Also the fitters damaged my windowsill.On the plus side at least the windows fit, look OK and the room is a noticeably warmer. Lesson learned though - don’t pay until you are 100% happy.

Bought a number of door and windows earlier this year. Front door will not lock - cant phone as says leave request on line - completed online report and say they will get back in 5 days!! So in emergency situation there is no safety - astounding and appalling. This has finished us for this company - buyer beware

I spent £15K with this company in 2013 replacing windows and doors. Plus a further 6K in 2015 to replace Facias & Soffits. So much for the warranty (none existence). Wide cracks appeared inside wall above the bay window, builder said its to do with the PVC windows fitted incorrectly plus always moistures on the windows inside and out in the winter. Contacted Anglian and they are just not interested. Avoid this company as they are not loyal!!!

Waiting 8 months to have one plane of glass replaced in a conservatory roof. They requested payment up front before they would manufacture the glass, which I did provide. Still no sign of the new glass 8 months on. I am trying to get my money back now, but that is not happening either. Do not use Anglian.

I would give zero star if possible. I use Anglian Home Improvement to replace our three windows last September. It cost me £5500 to replace three windows . Two of the windows bad condensation just after two weeks. I contacted customer service to take a look at it. They said that condensation is normal. And they refuse to send anyone come to check it. I will not use them anymore. Don’t waste your money.

Waiting since April for a front door to be installed. All paid for but still not fitted. The company have made three appointments to do the installation and have failed to show up every time. Each time I have been given lame excuses. Bad customer service and do not keep customers informed.

So many bad reviews, so many stressful cases. That's what this company brings you .we've got your deposit so we'll do whatever we like . It' starts with salesman lying , anything to get your order, then the fun really starts , did we say 12 weeks until fitting we really meant 12 months, oh you don’t like that tough .I maybe one of the luckier one's, never got my windows fitted just managed to get my contract cancelled. They have keeped my deposit however , I will never know what the outcome of fitting would of been like , but do consider myself fortunate to have avoided it . They are truly a disgusting company , that nobody in the country should gamble their hard earned money on .

Anglian Windows have provided a shocking service. Significant gap above door letting cold air through , poorly fitted door , screw driven through porch frame. Door not closing properly. Wrong door replacement. Staff criticising colleagues workmanship. Ongoing problems for over a year. The customer service is even worse and truly shocking! Faulty Towers from start to finish. Extremely poor moral compass starts from the Managing Director! Photographic evidence, chronology of events and company attitude are extremely damning. Communications ignored. Evidence reserved for further action. 0/10 for a disgraceful shambolic service. Surprised the company is still trading.

If I could give Anglian a zero or a minus I would. Service terrible, products sub-standard. Our new front door is being replaced (by another company) as it is not fit for purpose and is not yet 3 years old. It was broken when delivered and I have had to pay for 2 new locks to be fitted. If you ring the company they say it is not a priority. I have given up and am now getting Safe Style to fit a new door. Don't touch Anglian with a barge pole would be my advice!
