Care and repair

Great service from the initial booking, quote, arrangement and replacement of windows. Always had a great experience as this is the second time I have used window doctor. Great service from Eddie and Jay.

Poor communication and lack of empathy

I paid the window doctor double glazing repair specialists based in cwmbran £5,326 for a set of basic French doors and a new composite fire door, and was told both would be fitted in 1 day. This turned out to be inaccurate as french doors fitted but once front door was part fitted I was informed it wasn't a fire door and it would have to be re-ordered and refitted when it came! I ordered in October and was finally fitted 3 months later!!!! Communication with window Doctors is shocking and non existent, wrong door ordered by company and I had to be inconvenienced as a result as then took another day to be fitted! No sorry or compensation offered for their incompetency ... would definatly NOT recommend, over priced for service they offer

I am sorry to hear you have had a bad experience. However I don't believe this is regarding our company. We are based in Castleford West Yorkshire and have not fitted any fire doors this year.

Poor Service all round

I am extremely disappointed with the service I received . I was charged over £200 simply for a survey of work required ( one window) . After that , the company failed to attend on the agreed date. When they eventually did come out and I proceeded with the job , I was given a timeframe for completion but this was pushed back several weeks .

As the property is used as an air bnb these repeated delays and no shows caused me to be lose a significant amount of income .

Overall the Lack of reliability , High costs poor communication and missed appointments have made this a very frustrating and costly experience. I would not recommend this company based on my experience

Hi,

We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed and appreciate the chance to clarify.

Our survey fee was not £200, our survey fee covers the visit, assessment, and specialist measurements required.

One appointment was rescheduled due to parts not arriving from our supplier, which was explained at the time. At no point did we fail to attend an agreed appointment.

We understand the property is used as an Airbnb and appreciate how delays can be frustrating, however we cannot accept responsibility for loss of income caused by supplier delays.

We always aim to communicate clearly and attend as agreed.

Eddie came out inititially to talk us…

Eddie came out inititially to talk us through the approach to fixing our door. Only took 10 minutes and was clear and concise.
We booked a date and he arrived in the time slot and fixed exactly how he said in very little time with no mess. Friendly and informative. Thanks Eddie.

Hi there,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review — it sounds like you had a great experience.

However, we don’t believe this review relates to our business. We don’t have anyone named Eddie on our team, and the job described doesn’t match our records.

It’s possible this was meant for a different company. If so, we’d really appreciate it if you could update or remove the review so it reaches the right business.

Thanks for your understanding.

Unsafe Repairs Ignored – Now Owed £2,519 After Court Judgment

I’m extremely disappointed with my experience with Window Doctor. After they failed to complete work I paid for in good faith, ignored repeated follow-ups, and failed to provide promised quotations, I was left with unresolved and unsafe windows — including in a room used by a vulnerable child.

Despite multiple opportunities to resolve the matter amicably, they failed to engage. I had no choice but to issue County Court proceedings. They failed to respond, and on 22 January 2026, the court entered Judgment in Default against them for £2,519.26 (Case ref: M7QZ50GK).

I have now given them a final opportunity to pay before I instruct High Court Enforcement.

A deeply disappointing experience from start to finish — I would not recommend this company.

Rude text message to enquiry regarding repairs

I rang Window Dr and left a message for a man called Mel. He sent me a rude replay saying he had flu! I did not know this as his voicemail did not mention he was poorly. He could have replied saying "sorry I am unwell, thank for your message ....". If this is the service Window Dr provide I certainly would not recommend this Company for the work I was proposing.

Window Doctor Reading

Window Doctor Reading. Called me back I left a phone message to discuss work to repair old upvc windows and retrofit trickle vents. The window dr didn’t seem to understand that I needed retrofit to 20 year old windows and became confused and agitated about on street parking and hung up on me after saying it wasn’t something for them. Went I went to voice mail several times calling him back… I thought the whole point of the company is to repair old upvc windows but they are not really interested. Waste of time. Avoid.

Honest, professional and polite

After contacting The Window Doctor, James came , accessed the 2 problems, gave me a quote , and followed up with the repairs. I Didn't feel hassled or pushed into making a decision and felt comfortable with James , who did a first class job.

Unprofessional and unreliable

Here’s a suggestion for a clear and honest review you can post online (Google, Trustpilot, Facebook, etc.):

⭐ 1 star

Very disappointed with this company. I contacted them to replace some misty window panes. They came out promptly, took measurements, and gave me a quote—which I initially appreciated. But after that, they completely disappeared. I tried calling and messaging several times over the next three weeks with no response at all. Wasted my time waiting for something that never happened. Very unprofessional and unreliable. Would not recommend!
