Introduction

Choosing the right window and door fitter can make all the difference to the comfort, safety, and appearance of your home. Poor workmanship can lead to draughts, leaks and avoidable repair bills. At ABS Home Improvements, we’ve been fitting high-quality windows and doors across Norfolk and Suffolk for over 25 years. In this guide, we explain what to look for when choosing a reliable installer.

Go with Experience

There’s no substitute for a proven track record. A company with many years of experience is more likely to deliver a quality finish. ABS Home Improvements is a family-run business with more than two decades of hands-on experience. We know local building styles and planning requirements, and our long-standing reputation is built on satisfied customers and word-of-mouth recommendations.

Look for FENSA Registration

FENSA (Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme) ensures that window and door replacements comply with current building regulations. Choosing a FENSA-registered installer means you’ll get a certificate confirming the work meets the legal standards. ABS is FENSA registered, so you can be confident your installation is compliant and properly documented.

Check Independent Reviews

Online reviews can reveal a lot about how a company treats its customers. ABS Home Improvements has hundreds of positive reviews on Trustpilot and Google, with customers frequently praising our friendly service, clean workmanship and efficient fitting. These reviews are from local homeowners, and they reflect the care and professionalism we bring to every job.

Would certainly recommend and use again

We had a lot of company’s come round to quote for new windows and doors, and we finally settled on ABS. I’m so happy with the work they carried out! Not only does everything look great, we’ve noticed the difference already when it comes to energy efficiency. They also found an issue with our house and fixed that up. Would certainly recommend and use again. Thank you team!

Use a Local Company

Working with a local firm often means quicker response times and more personalised service. Based in Diss, we cover Norfolk and Suffolk with our own trained staff. Our team knows the area well, which helps us advise on what works best in different property types. We’re also nearby if you ever need a follow-up visit.

Avoid Subcontractors

Some companies outsource the installation work, meaning you don’t always know who will be turning up at your home. At ABS, we only use our own employed and trained fitters. This helps us keep quality high and ensure a consistent experience for every customer.

Ask About Guarantees

Any trustworthy fitter should offer a clear guarantee. At ABS, all our windows and doors come with a 10-year guarantee on workmanship and materials. This means you can buy with confidence, knowing your investment is protected.
