friendly workers great job

21st April 2026

The installers turned up on time, were very pleasant and carried out the work to a high standard. They left having cleaned up after themselves and were very polite throughout the work.

16th April 2026

They were excellent, especially the fitter. (New front door).

2nd February 2026

All good no issues so far.
The fitter was excellent. Professional, friendly, tidied up, advised if any issues to contact Malbern. Did say sometimes doors can drop or expand etc and may need adjusting. Door looks so nice. Happy so far.

29th January 2026

Communication from company was good , fitter did a good job

29th January 2026

Very pleased with the installation.

21st January 2026

This is based on the second contractors that came to re-fit our door as we and Malbern weren’t happy with the first contractors and their workmanship.

17th December 2025

Installer Chris Gilbert was easy to get on with and very professional. He needed to work outside in very cold weather for over two hours to ensure that the standard of finish was high. Mandy at the Malbern office was courteous and efficient throughout.

25th November 2025

Excellent service from the subcontractor.

19th November 2025

Worked to a high professional standard. Some delay due to an external component supplier.

12th November 2025

They have done a really good job and my project was not straight forward. They ensured I was completely happy at all times. They were friendly and respectful.

7th November 2025

We’ve overall been very happy- it was a big job and the team have been great. The main issues we experienced were with silicone and some tiny shavings visible inside the panels which had to be exchanged a few times and this was done. The appearance of the windows look better than we could have expected particularly the flush sashes at the front of the house.

7th November 2025

The bricklayer, David did a really good job in cutting through the brickwork to create an opening ready to take the new window frame. He installed a lintel over the opening ensuring that our building structure was not damaged. Tony installed the window frame and units the next day leaving our home neat and tidy. The following day Luke arrived to plaster around the window and he again carried out the work to a high standard.

30th October 2025

Fantastic work would recommend

29th October 2025

They did a excellent job

10th October 2025

would highly recommend mick and danny they were very friendly and did an excellent job

23rd September 2025

Brian and Adam were a very good professional team .

10th September 2025

very pleasant fitters, some small marks on one window, some problem with sorting out first fitting date

10th September 2025

Job completed well and on time. no issues

9th September 2025

They were brilliant, very professional and friendly, tidied up afterwards and considering it was a difficult job they managed it with care and precision and made good on everything necessary.

8th September 2025

Overall Good service

5th September 2025

Malbern did an excellent job installing my front door. They also previously did a great job installing all my front windows.

5th September 2025

The process of purchasing my windows and front door with surround, was simple from the initial meeting with the Malbern Windows representative to the fitting.
The fitters, James & Adam did a great job. The windows and front door (with included part glazed surround) look great. They have really improved the ‘pavement appeal’ of my house.
James and Adam were very respectful and polite, they did a really good job of cleaning up their job area on the 2 days it took to install the units.
I have used Malbern Windows previously and would definitely recommend them.

22nd July 2025

The man who fitted the door was amazing and a credit to the company.

22nd July 2025

Have used Malberns multiple times and will continue to do so when needed.

7th July 2025

I have used Malbern on a couple of occasions and will be using them again in the future

16th June 2025

Installers very efficient and very helpful

16th June 2025

Had initial problems with Door installation and with closure but Malbern sent out an Engineer to rectify quickly

4th June 2025

The first set of installers were very polite, very tidy. The second were competent but left a hell of a mess inside and dirty smear marks in the caulk. By the end of the install I just wanted everybody to leave. My bay windows were measured incorrectly, with 5 panels instead of 6. My front door was delivered with paint defects that had to be fixed. The first glass for the bifolds “failed quality checks”. Then the bifold was installed stacking the wrong way (not the installers fault) and I was told basically I was to blame as I had signed the paperwork, but the surveyor had messed everything up and the sales guy confirmed I had asked for it to be the other way. In the end I accepted a miniscule discount just for the ordeal to be over. Liam and Sean tried their best to leave me happy but it was a nightmare start to finish and so no, I wouldn’t recommend, which is a shame as the products are good value for money.

27th May 2025

NO

25th May 2025

everything was as expected from quote to installation, no hassle or fuss
Niall was a really good fitter.

11th May 2025

Professional from start to finish, the new windows look fantastic. I would highly recommend.

11th May 2025

Too fast and not precise, dirty

4th May 2025

Good Service

4th May 2025

On both occasions when the contractors came to do work , They were courteous, on time , got to work straight away and left my house spotless, already recommended the company to family and friends.

27th April 2025

Very tidy work 
The fitters were great , pleasant and reliable 
Great job

16th February 2025

Did an excellent job,installed with care.

14th February 2025

Yes i would. This is not the first time i have used them. They are very efficient, work cleanly and always found the quality of workmanship very good. I also like they way they do business and not cut throat like other companies. I would highly recommend Malbern Windows.

2nd February 2025

Very good alround 👌

19th January 2025

Wonderful job from start to finish!

22nd December 2024

The installer who fitted the door and cladding was very professional, very polite and very pleasant.

15th December 2024

Punctual ,polite, work was clean and tidy

15th December 2024

Still waiting for replacement glass

10th November 2024

The contractar done an amazing job very satisfied with his work .

3rd November 2024

We have used Malbern Windows before, and have always been happy with the standard of work. My only complaint is lack of communication. I had an appointment for the window to be fitted between 8.30am and 9.30am. They didn’t arrive, so when I phoned Malbern I was told we were for later in the day. Why not contact us. Had to change installation day, as it was unsuitable.

27th October 2024

On the original appointment day to install the window only one contractor attended. It was assessed as a two man job. I then had to rearrange another appointment time which was inconvenient as I had to wait in for both days. However the work was completed quickly and efficiently.

27th October 2024

I Received excellent service throughout from Malbern. From first meeting Joe who gave me a very competitive quote to dealing with Caroline who organised a fitting day that suited me to finally meeting the fitters Niall & Tony who did a great job fitting the windows & leaving my home clean & tidy.

13th October 2024

The actual door fitter himself was very good. The salesman did not make it clear that the price we were paying included a door knocker, letter box, door handle etc – whether we choose to have these items, or not. The door trim was not ready by the door installation date (that’s why I’ve put a low mark for reliability) and it was a few weeks before I was able to have the door fitting completed. I’m disappointed with the door colour – in the brochure it looked much brighter than it is in real life.

13th October 2024

Very professional work and punctual.

29th September 2024

Punctual, tidy, polite installers and sales team. Good product.

22nd September 2024

Issues that were raised took too long to be resolved. When I spoke to the Customer Service team I had to keep repeating the issue.

15th September 2024

Very helpful and the fitters friendly and also very helpful.

10th September 2024

Excellent service

25th August 2024

The work was not completed correctly and the contractor had to return to complete parts of the installation that should have been done on the first visit. The standard of plastering that has been done around the window installation is so poor I will have to employ another plasterer to correct the work. I would not recommend Malbern and won�t be using them again.

10th August 2024

Very little communication initiated by the company. I was not informed as to when they planned to perform the work (2 weeks after originally quoted by sales) and had to call the company in order to find that out.They were supposed to take a partial payment after the surveyor visited, but they did not contact me to arrange that.I received a call 20 minutes AFTER the fitter was due to arrive on the first date to inform me that they would not be arriving that day, and I had little notice to rearrange holidays in order to reschedule the fitting date.On the second fitting date, the fitter arr

7th July 2024

We have used Malbern to install our Conservatory and to install our doors and windows. We have no issues whatsoever with them!

30th June 2024

Good job, well done.

30th June 2024

The process of ordering my windows to installation was easy!. The advisor explained options that may be suitable for me, the surveyor who came to do the final fitting measurements was very helpful and explained new regulations and the fitters did an excellent job. I�d have no hesitation in recommending Malbern Windows and their prices are very competitive.

30th June 2024

All problems sorted quickly Just a note also, my address is number 8 Shanklin Close NOT 9

18th June 2024

Very smooth process from start to finish

5th June 2024

The installation engineer was really good. Turned up on time and completed the job to a high standard. The sales person let me down twice for pre arranged appointments and didn’t seem to know what was going on. He even called me to follow up the sale after I’d already placed the order and had an installation date.It would be good if it would be possible to place an order over the phone after measurements having been during the first appointment taken rather than making another appointment.

5th June 2024

There were some ambiguities, scratched windows and completely different equipment than I ordered

2nd June 2024

Kept up to date from start to finish with the Window / Windows installation. Lewis who installed the Windows was very work conscious and stalled everything with minimal fuss. Thanks

31st May 2024

Unfortunately not the smooth experience I�d hoped for when being recommended. The house incurred a lot of hiccups and eventually Malbhern did over come them and the final job is lovely however I was informed that the Survey missed vital information and the installation took 3x amount of time it was meant too, incorrect glass was fitted, unfinished job ie the cover sills and had to remind them to come fit them with missed/poor communication from team, poor time keeping from workmen due to arriving late mornings and would leave some early afternoons.

7th April 2024

Individuals were very pleasant, did a great job and also cleaned up after themselves, including outside.

24th March 2024

Reliable informed team.

24th March 2024

Good service,very good job,on time,tidy, very nice person .

17th March 2024

used this contractor for numerous year and very confident with their work.

3rd March 2024

Extremely professional and left no mess

18th February 2024

Contractor great only big bear is the door is squeeky

21st January 2024

A long wait between sale and installation, with trouble getting a response (failed to return calls etc). Installation satisfactory, finishing of the window/wall interfaces could have been neater. The window itself is good.

14th January 2024

Very Pleased

8th January 2024

Very professional, thorough and great job from start to finish. From first contact to pricing, survey and fit, we are very happy with Malbern Windows and would highly recommend using this company.Kind regards John and Trish

8th January 2024

Product recommended is far too heavy and difficult to move. Handles fitted are inadequate to the task and will fail, they bend the plastic when you try to move the door. The fitter’s answer was to push the frame! Not even possible on the outside.

8th January 2024

Very friendly and professional

8th January 2024

Have used them for many years , both here and at our last address .

8th January 2024

Overall the service was very good. A couple of small issues cropped up but resolved quickly. Workmen very polite.

8th January 2024

We have used Malbern in the past with no problems. This job the standard of workmanship and the mess they left our property inside and out was disgusting way below the standards of a professional company . We had to have management visit us in order to get things rectified .

8th January 2024

I am very happy with the service received by Malburn from the initial call through to completion my Windows and doors look amazing and have transformed my house. The sales team were really helpful and the fitters have done a great job, they arrived on time worked non stop and have done a fantastic job. I would highly recommend this company

8th January 2024

I am still apprehensive about the safety of the existing lintels.

8th January 2024

Very pleased with windows and standard of work

8th January 2024

Excellent workers, leaving no mess and were very polite. Highly recommend.

8th January 2024

Can’t fault them at all. Highly recommend

8th January 2024

Very polite and I felt comfortable with them working in my home

8th January 2024

Could have used a few more dust sheets. Not to impressed with the amount of dust.

8th January 2024

Very happy with the new windows and doors ,the two guys who installed them were friendly and good workers, all done in two days, 10 out of 10.

8th January 2024

Made sure the door fitted well and worked as it should . Was a very experienced fitter and installer.

8th January 2024

They were very good overall and I am pleased with the product and their service. The sales man was not pressured either and it was very well managed process.

8th January 2024

I found Clive the workman extremely respectful of my situation and it was a pleasure to have him work in my house.

8th January 2024

Unfortunately their subcontractors let them down with roof

8th January 2024

Concerned that the bay window was the wrong size and had to be altered hence a days delay in completionWrong glass sent for the bathroom window, clear glass fitted then had to be changed

8th January 2024

very nice people to deal with thanks

8th January 2024

Still waiting for them to sort out this patio door as it is hard to slide, hardor impossible to lock and seems to have been put in wrong so not very happy!

8th January 2024

Simple one stop ship process with people who knew what they were talking about. Nice and simple. Yes, well done Malbern.

8th January 2024

Brilliant guys Can’t fault them what so ever Certainly Have them back again

8th January 2024

customer service was excellent. Sadly windows were incorrectly measured leaving big gaps which the initial fitters tried to cover up. My Husband forcefully complained and the surveyor came out and remeasured, we then had the same problem. The actual windows we are pleased with but it did cause us some inconvenience, feel sorry for the fitters if the surveyor cannot measure a job properly. They did at least put it right but I am unsure how we would have been left if my Husband hadn’t insisted it was sorted initially. Difficult to give great feedback given these circumstances. However cannot fault any dealings with contractors staff, they were all very pleasant and helpful.

8th January 2024

No

17th December 2023

The contractor was very professional and the works were carried out efficiently and with a minimum of fuss and disruption. Would highly recommend

3rd December 2023

Excellent work, so professional. Can not fault anything.

3rd December 2023

Builder working along side window fitters very untidy and left a mess resulting in a blocked drain, which I then had to clean out myself.

5th November 2023

Disappointed with the mess left behind considering previous good reviews.

29th October 2023

Took 4 months to supply and install product. Numerous problems beforehand, several installation dates delayed but progress and installation eventually satisfactorily made following personal intervention of MD

22nd October 2023

Malbern�s reception is very good, responsive and helpful. The surveyor has given me very good and useful advice. The workers for installation are professional and agreeable, fast and nice. I highly recommend this contractor. MostImportantly, Malbern charged reasonably and had given me a lot of choices to choose from to suit my budget.

24th September 2023

Excellent service at every stage

17th September 2023

No

3rd September 2023

All went smoothly from start to finish. Good communication from company.

13th August 2023

This company is amazing fantastic quality amazing prices and friendly helpful staff I would recommend them to all my friends and family

6th August 2023

After a few hiccups, wrong glass in door and letterbox issue, and some fingerprints inside the sealed glass units, which were all rectified, pleased with the outcome.

9th July 2023

Efficient and friendly staff.Good customer service, quick response and can help me sort all the issues.

9th July 2023

Using this Contractor was incredibly stressful. We had to use our own company workforce to finish some of the window installations, as Malbern workers were on and off the job.After an emergency meeting because of our ongoing concerns with the delays and workmanship, Wayne, Malbern Owner, got directly involved to complete the work.We have used many Contractors for multiple building contracts and Malbern are definitely one of the worst.

5th July 2023

Well recommend , really good customer service and installation

22nd January 2023

He was very polite and accommodating.

15th January 2023

Luckily the contractor was previously a carpenter which was useful as the door provided was, in his opinion, wider than it should have been and needed shaving.

15th January 2023

Punctual, friendly, thorough, very good work.

19th December 2022

Excellent fitment by Chris and assisted by Josh I think

26th November 2022

Multiple issues with imperfect glass. Damage to plaster work and not filled on strong back door.Initial job glass was left unclean so left to us to clean and identify issues. No quality control before products arrived on job. Patch up plaster poor finish.No offer of compensation for inconvenience as required to book time away from work multiple times .

5th November 2022

Need to clearly make customers aware of timescales and installation dates, they were met in the end. Just need clear communication from sales to installation team

5th November 2022

From the first point of contact to the installation totally professional.

17th September 2022

Customer service was polite and friendly but the initial sales pitch of being supplied within 6 weeks was missed by 3 additional weeks. It seemed like nothing had been progressed with the manufacturer until week 5 when we were still being asked fundamental questions about door style. Nevertheless, once we got passed this hickup, the team facilitated our multiple check ins, though some times we expected call backs and didn’t receive. Doors are great and came with extra features that we wanted, but didn’t think we’re inherently possible.

3rd September 2022

Customer service excellent-polite and friendly but long wait and incorrect fittings sent causing additional delay.

9th July 2022
Trader's Response

good morning can i ask your surname so i can look into this please? many thanks

Lovely work, beautifully done

25th June 2022

It felt like a part time job trying to contact them to get the job done. Didn’t turn up on numerous occasions and always had to tell them the mistakes they had made; eg. could fit my hand under the bottom of the door as not mortared at all, loose bricks.

19th June 2022
Trader's Response

good morning can i ask your surname so i can look into this please ?many thanks

Been happy with malbern from beginning to end

12th June 2022

Excellent service throughout really pleased with the work

12th June 2022

The contractor represented both Malbern and himself very well indeed.

24th April 2022

I would but they have caused me too much stress and wasted too much if my time already.

10th April 2022

All fine, smooth process.

19th March 2022

The fitting, quality and price of the job were pretty good but I was told three different fitting dates before they actually turned up and the reason for them missing one date turned out to be a lie.

19th February 2022

One or two unfortunate problems with the instillation but these were sorted out to my satisfaction. The customer service was excellent and the workmen very polite and obliging.

2nd February 2022

Need to check thoroughly that everything had been done as we had to ask the contractors to return as we could see daylight between the bottom of the door and the beading, this was quickly rectified later in the day with silicone sealant.

17th December 2021

Very patient working around other contractors at property.

1st December 2021

Awaiting replacement hinge mechanism for one of the windows. Now 1 month.Incorrect window opening arrangements – top openers not requested.

5th November 2021

Efficient and helpful

16th October 2021

Poor workmanship wrong size frames for doors and window and foam filled with huge gaps and broken brick which they just left a hole in the outside wall not cemented or plated just left it and told to sing the form they filled the gaps with plastic pieces.

16th October 2021

Although there were issues with initial survey which resulted in incorrect size window being ordered, we are happy overall.

16th October 2021

Was told the installation would take 3-4 weeks. It took over 10 weeks and still wasn’t complete. I had to chase them for an updated, they were not proactive in letting me know changes in installation times.

16th October 2021

Nice guy, 1st class work.

16th October 2021

Fast and friendly, very professional

16th October 2021

Wasn�t happy with the amount of time taken to do the job.

15th October 2021

Some issues with the door fitting but the problem was resolved to our satisfaction.

15th October 2021

Good products, no hard sell, great workmanship, only let down by not keeping customer in the loop about product delivery delays

15th October 2021

Windows installed well and good quality. More care could have been taken with surrounding areas such as tiles etc.

15th October 2021

Improve communication to ensure customer expectations are met & liaise with your contractors. Took a day off on one occasion & no one turned up.

15th October 2021

It was quite hard to contect them and they did not return messages, but when they finally came it was a very pleasing result.

15th October 2021

I have rang several time and emailed to provide the door hinge cover which was missing. The door is making noise cringe noise when opening and closing. I have not had any reply back. Also silicone to side of the door is coming off.

15th October 2021

The company were recommended by a colleague who was happy with their work. Unfortunately I may have just been poor timing to place an order as they were extremely busy. Some of the fitters were good, others were shocking. Communication with the office was frequent on updates etc.

15th October 2021

N/a

15th October 2021

Promises by the sales rep not carried through. Will have to pay new contractor to finish the job, not the result I expected from Marlburn.Fitters had to be told to fit trim pieces and short length of skirting by my wife.

15th October 2021

I did have a query post installation which took several phone calls to resolve.

15th October 2021

The whole team from the office to the installers were great, any problems or questions were dealt with very quickly and they were always very friendly.

15th October 2021

A job very well done. Looks great.

15th October 2021

I would recommend Malbern as a company, but they need to re-access the Builders they contract out to. Other than the outside contractor builder spoiling the marks I have given above, I would HIGHLY recommend Malbern. The customer service was second to non, although I think they got fed up of me nearer to the end of the job!
