Positive Feedback for Excellent Service

I rarely post reviews here, but I felt it is so easy to complain, and this engineer stood out for such excellent service. Barry from Munster Joinery attended our property to address some issues with our windows.
After our initial appointment was cancelled at short notice the previous week, and having recently moved into a new build where we’ve met many tradespeople, we were feeling somewhat apprehensive. Meeting Barry was a refreshing experience.
Barry was everything you could hope for in a service engineer: friendly, courteous, and highly professional. From automatically removing his shoes before entering, to using a dust sheet to protect surfaces, to taking the time to explain how our windows should work, he demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and care in all aspects of his work. He clearly distinguished what were genuine issues and what weren’t, addressing everything he could with skill and efficiency.
While we were already happy with our windows, aside from some small glitches, meeting Barry made a real difference. His approach left me very confident in recommending Munster Joinery to others.
Thank you to Barry and Munster Joinery for such high-quality service!

Avoid

I would give a minus if it were possible. Inherited Munster via a new build - the patio doors installation and seals around other doors are shocking. They make appointments to come and fix but simply don't turn up. Very rude to me when I called to try and reschedule (they wouldn't). The site manager here is going bananas. I'm having to repeatedly rearrange appointments with the blind installer and plastics repairer (to repair to damage the doors are inflicting on the sill through their poor fit). They are an appalling company to deal with.

AVOID AVOID AVOID

AVOID AVOID AVOID! If I could give minus stars I would. We moved into our new build home in January 2025. We have a total of 24 windows downstairs, of which 19 were damaged. This included scratches in the glass, the thermal protection as well as dirty fingerprints and glue splatters between the double glazing. A very rude and arrogant representative came out to assess, and after discussing NHBC guidelines, agreed to change 17 of the 19 windows. He then went back to his manager and told them he had only agreed 15 and this is what was ordered. When the 15 arrived to be fitted, 7 of these were damaged. We complained several times, including about the rudeness of the rep, however they thought it appropriate to try and send him back to refit the new windows despite our complaint. We are now 6 months later and have I heard anything from them about our complaint? Nope. Nothing. You would get better customer service and service recovery from a gnat!! Tom the manager, promised our development site manager that he would be in touch with us after I complained to them that they should cut their contract and find another window provider... funnily enough, I didn't hear from him either. DISGUSTING and shows a real lack of care towards their customers.

i would give minus if possible

I WOULD GIVE A MINUS IF IT IS POSSIBLE
AVOID THIS COMPANY IF YOU CAN AT ALL COSTS, 3 YEAR OLD WINDOWS FITTED WITHIN A BELLWAY BUILD. LARGE 2000 BY 800 MM PANEL SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED ON THE INSIDE PANEL
I PAID £110 FOR AN ENGINEER TO ATTEND AND THEY WANT A FURTER £365.61 TO FIX THE SEALED UNIT.
IM GETTING A LOCAL GLAZER TO DO IT AS I WONT TRUST THEM ONE BIT

Excellent service

Firstly I need to say thanks to you and your planning team, they turned our booking around In 24 hours.

Secondly- Adam the engineer. He was professional, smart, intelligent and went above and beyond in helping with the issue. He had a lot of jobs to do today and still took the time and patience to sort the issue out. I would like Munster to know he is an asset to the company and I would highly highly recommend Munster as a result. He is a Fantastic gentlemen.

Thanks again for everything

Really great service

Really great service. I had some doors that needed replacing that were under warranty, and a new window pane installed too. Munster sorted everything out quickly and hassle-free. Great Comms from Shelly in the office and Delyan the service engineer. Thanks 👍

Outstanding customer service

Outstanding customer service! I had a query with a window handle, I experienced prompt replies to my emails with all my options clearly outlined to me. I had lots of questions & was never made to feel like anything was a problem. The part was posted out to me & arrived the next day as promised. A first class experience that is hard to come by these days. Thank you Katie, very much appreciated.

Avoid this company at all costs

Avoid this company at all costs, moved into a new build just over two years ago, they had to come back and replace our bay windows when we moved in, they were ill fitting and the frames were really badly marked.
Came down Saturday morning to see the pane of one of the windows had cracked top to bottom, I know the weather was extreme during the night , but never expected that. Upon ringing customer service this morning, was told in no certain terms that they would be replacing it, without a call out charge and the cost of the glass, and virtually implied I had damaged it myself. Not impressed with any of the window or doors. Not very good quality.

If your new build has Munster Joinery…

If your new build has Munster Joinery windows and doors, then I would advise you to walk away. I have never heard of, or can't find any other windows and doors company offering only 2 years warranty, all the ones I have spoken to offer 10yrs, but I suppose that should be the warning sign, they don't believe in their own products to offer any longer warranty.
Like many reviewers on this site, my daughter has today had the same response about a faulty door lock stating the 2yr warranty and quoting £120 call out fee, daylight robbery.

Happy Customers!

We were very impressed with this company. Niamh Stack was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. She co ordinated installation of all our new windows and doors with our builder seamlessly aswell as offering invaluable advice, time and expertise during our extensive building project.
She was easily contactable and always prompt to respond to any queries we had and showed great interest from start to finish.
We would highly recommend using this company.

New windows and great staff:Colm Daly

We recently had new windows fitted to our home and had been recommended Munster joinery.
We have nothing good to say about our experience with the company, especially sales representative Colm Daly.
He was very easy to deal with and extremely knowledgeable in his field, and just made the experience from start to finish smooth.
