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.

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.

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!!!

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.

I had a composite door fitted in 2017. By 2022 it was peeling. The website says their doors won't peel even after years of exposure to sun and rain. This is not the case. They only guarantee the colour fastness and lamination of the door for 5 years but the website does not say this, nor do their sales reps. Both only mention the 10 year guarantee. The other us hidden in the small print. Given the price of the door, it should last more than 5 years. Avoid thus company. Customer service is appalling and the product is not durable.

Fitters show up then find a reason not to do job. Surveyors fail to spot potential problems. Complaints are ignored. Workmanship shoddy. Overpriced. Don’t touch with a barge pole!

No stars from me. Two years eleven months, 10k spent, 25 visits to our house to put right simply the most dreadfully installed door and windows. We have been locked in, locked out, without a fully functioning door for months. We are in our third front door now, which is not the one we originally ordered because they could not get it to work… I am told the matter is closed as they have resolved the issues in line with their terms and conditions. We have lost days from work, hours waiting for incompetent engineers and it’s literally the worst purchasing experience of my life.

It's been the worst ever experience. I would strongly recommend never use Anglian Windows. The conservatory was badly designed and is unbearable in the summer, even though they had guaranteed it wouldn't get hot in the summer. Furthermore they have used inappropriate cement in the roof which has meant that it has been crumbling and allowing water to leak into the house.

I purchased a garage door, all ok, at the same time we had our front door installed in 2013, both door and garage. Paint on door scratched off. Contacted Anglian Windows by email, explained the problem, asked for an engineer to call and inspect door. They didn't want to know as said it was out of guarantee. I will never recommend Anglian Windows to anyone again, and I am very angry, and an unhappy customer.

We had our garage converted to an extra room and it soon became apparent that there was a fault with the flooring. When we lifted the vinyl we found that the layer of cement over a concrete floor had all broken up. This had been laid because on completion the installer realised that the two floor levels didn't match up. A field engineer from Anglian visited us and agreed that it should not have happened. He reported it and several weeks later we received an abrupt letter (no address, no email address, no phone number) informing us that it wasn't covered under our 10 year guarantee. I disputed this and attempted to contact them numerous times and met with a wall of silence as they ignored my communications. Eventually by writing to the CEO I got a response from someone lower down the order who sent me a blank contract where it still failed to inform me why my particular problem could not be fixed stating that brickwork and plaster only had a year's guarantee - no mention of a cement layer over a concrete floor. For £16,000 I expected a better service rather than being fobbed off by a company who obviously have far greater muscle than I am able to offer. I strongly recommend anyone wishing to convert their garage should look elsewhere.

Are you thinking of having a conservatry with Anglian.. they have completley ruined my home and conservatry. The walls are soaking wet and growing with thick black/green mould and sprouting with mushrooms. I have been trying to get them to put it right for over 2 years - I just get ignored and lied to. I have had so many people come out to 'assess' it and 4 lots of photos have now been taken by different people. They are the most disgusting incompentent lying company so I urge everyone thinking of using them DONT.

Several delays before fitting finally agreed. Fitter very unprofessional, no dust sheets used or car taken. Job left incomplete, fitter said “don’t open left door as the frame is wonky and will need refitting!” Frame scratched, screw heads sticking out, property damaged, expanding foam on carpet, big holes in walls around frame. Customer service non existent!! Phone message says ‘email’ no reply from email. Three months before someone finally refit double doors, he left saying scratches to frame and doors would need dealing with rubber door seals would need redoing as not long enough currently, screw heads need capping, tumbler system inside still required, carpet damage needs insurance claim, (house only 18month old) Customer service not responding to phone or emails. Shocking service.

Faulty products and disgraceful customer service (nobody wants to speak to you). We spent the extra money and had Anglian fit our windows in 2015, thought we'd get better quality products and after sales, customer service brilliant for first couple of years. Since then various window locks have failed and been replaced, still within 10 year guarantee period. Recently another window lock has failed, have now been told that our existing window locks are obselete and have received a completely different replacement. We will end up with completely different sizes, colours and types of window locks all round the house as they all fail!. Suggested they replace all the locks for continuity as they're obviously faulty and it would be nice gesture, have been told "only at our expense and don't contact them again about it"!!!. Unbelievable.

I cannot tell you how much I would NOT recommend this company. I've had 5 service calls for a front door that was fitted in 2018. Here's my experience: Calls 1, 2, 3, and 4 were because the door continually dropped on its hinges. It has a 'thumb turn' on the inside and a key turn to open on the outside. When the door drops, the thumb turn won't work and the door won't open from the inside or outside. My 82-year-old mum and kids simply couldn't exit the building from the front - so a serious fire hazard. Each time I complained an engineer came after a few weeks (yes, a few weeks) to re-adjust it. Then in December last year, 2 of the four glass panels blew. Again, I called Anglian. This time an engineer came after 2 months and not another peep. I've recently contacted them again in July to find out when (if) they were every planning to come back and requested a replacement door of better quality. They quoted section 18 of their T&Cs at me, told me they'd done what they needed to do and said if I didn't want the glass panels fixing they weren't prepared to do anything else. THEN they closed the case, without even speaking to me, even though I'd asked for a telephone call and provided my number! Please, please, please DO NOT use Anglian. I can see others have had similar experiences. We had our windows fitted last year by Safestyle and they've been absolutely amazing. They've had to do a few adjustments and one replacement - no questions asked, and super quick COVID-19 friendly service.

Shoddy company. Heavy handed in house lawyers who don’t know the law. They are an incompetent company who then sent your basic statutory rights like refusing to pay return postage for faulty goods. (See extract from their letter). Avoid this company at all costs.

really bad installation awoid I giwe one star because there is no zero to discribe quality of this company. On installation day all was perfect till I pay money. After all change for whorse. Door was installed wrong way with large gaps between frame and frame was damaged cracks and holes drilled and llefted. Book service Whait for reply about two months they came only after my call where is team? That day they came for adjustments only ....waste of my all day. After another month they reinstall my frame still not correctly but ok. After two weeks changes start cracking and bits filling off. Also book service ..this time nobody show up . No contact with me at all. I rebook my servive and again nobody show up. Still no contact withe. Complitly Ignoring problem . Pepole! newer ewer! use this company it's not worth your money time and energy. Any builder from street will install this better than Anglian did department from Basingstoke. Customer service newer replay for my emails. Again ignorance. Anglian you better do something because at the moment this is contract breaking rules ... I will make sure nobody who I know will be your client .

Poor workmanship 3 months to install door despite sales advisors stating 1 month Customer service ignore the complaint and try fobbing you off When they fixed the door that broke after a week, they ticked all the customer boxes rather than me saying it was fine and it looks like a bodge job To top it off, I noticed sealant coming out of the letterbox Waiting a week still for a a manger to call.

Ongoing issues with a conservatory that is in warranty. My conservatory developed a leak, I contacted Anglian on the 27th of October 2020. I was given an appointment for a technician to visit on 02 December 2020. I was told both sides of the gutters had parts that are inefficient causing leaks and need replacing to stop leaks. The next appointment booked was 15th January 2021, the technicians arrived with the wrong parts! The next appointment alleged earliest appointment given to me was the 10th of March 2021! Meanwhile, I sent several emails requesting parts to be correct and assured everything was in order, subsequently, on the 10th of March I was called on the day to be told the appointment will be cancelled due to rain! The appointment was rebooked for the 17th of March 2021, the technicians turned up and again had the incorrect parts. When told this is not the first time this has happened the technician shrugged their shoulders. For the second time the technicians blamed the office, on speaking to the office they advised they can only order parts instructed by the technicians. I made 4 calls on the day requesting a call back without any success. The issue is still ongoing. A complete lack of accountability and serious breakdown of communication to the detriment of its customers. I'm surprised Anglian has survived their inefficiencies. Do not purchase from them, their customer service seems to fail customers at every given opportunity.
