Excellent replacement door. Great quality and expertly fitted by Rob. He’s a very neat worker and left no mess. Very pleased with Abbey from start to finish and have no hesitation in recommending them.

Great after sales service

Great after sales service - to adjust a window that was sticking.
The problem was quickly resolved by an experienced service engineer.
I found the service team to be responsive, helpful, good communications and the engineer very polite, helpful and efficient. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. They installed a conservatory and replacement windows a year ago and I’m delighted with the result and the after sales service.

New front door and windows from Abbey

Recently had a new front door installed with Abbey. The team were lovely from initial visit, showing us product options and visiting the showroom to pick colours. The installation was quick and easy, our installer T was friendly and professional. Cleaned up everything after and had great attention to detail.

Five-star experience at every stage

After Everest went into administration just days before our installation was due, we were understandably hesitant and suspicious of every window company. Luckily, we found Abbey Windows. We're very happy with the quality of the windows and doors (7 in total), and Peter did an excellent job with the installation. The admin team was also quick and helpful throughout. The insurance-backed guarantee provides peace of mind. A five-star experience at every stage.

FOR SERVICE

Update; changed to a 3 rating after a senior person within the company got involved. They did agree their standards had fallen below what customers expect from them. They have refunded my money, and promised to do the panel as soon as part becomes available. Sad that it takes posting bad reviews to get some action.
I could give zero I would! Original windows n doors installed long time ago. Needed a new lower door panel for back door. Contacted company who send an engineer with a panel.. immediately obvious to me when old panel removed, new panel was too thick. He went ahead and hammered to try to make it fit. Failed! Left with a promise of contact the next morning. In the evening I found door
no longer locked . I waited for my promised call, 3 days and several emails later I still had no call! I called locksmiths myself to enable me to secure my home! Until I posted poor review no refund was offered! Still waiting! Any chance they pay the locksmith? Don’t bother with them

Window Replacement


The process from the initial quotation to fitting the windows was seamless.
The actual fitting, by Rob Meikle, was quick, efficient and pain-free.
Thank-you very much

This was my second time using Abbey…

This was my second time using Abbey Windows - with the same installer, Rob, both times, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Rob is amazing - works so hard and really knows his stuff, as well as being a lovely guy. Clean and tidy too - what more could anyone ask?! Thanks so much! 🙂
