Our story
Small enough to care, big enough to cope
That's not just a line we like the sound of; it's how Argents Installations Ltd is run, day in and day out.
We're a family-run team, and it shows in the way we work. There's no call centre, no endless hold music, no being passed between departments. When you speak to us, you're speaking to someone who actually knows the job, often the same person who'll be turning up to do it.
Argents Installations has been trading for 7 years, but don't let that number fool you. Between our engineers, we bring over 60 years of hands-on trade experience to every job, knowledge that's been built up on real sites, fixing real problems, long before we set up under our own name. That combination is deliberate: the energy and personal touch of a young, family-run business, backed by the kind of experience you can't fake.
Being small enough to care means you deal directly with people who take pride in the work, not a script. Every job gets the attention it deserves, whether it's a single repair or an ongoing contract, and we tell you straight what needs doing and what doesn't.
Being big enough to cope means we operate nationwide, so location is never a barrier to getting the right engineer on site. We respond fast when things go wrong, because we understand that a stuck gate, shutter, or door is rarely convenient. And we have the capacity and reliability to take on larger contracts without losing the personal service that got us here.
Our engineers are trained, accredited, and fully insured, and that experience means faults get diagnosed properly the first time, not guessed at. We'd rather build long-term relationships with our customers than chase one-off jobs, which is why so much of our work comes from people who've called us before and simply call us again.
Small enough to care. Big enough to cope. That's Argents Installations.

Mission and standards
Do the job properly, then stand behind it
Our aim is simple: keep your doors, shutters and gates working safely so your site keeps trading. That means honest advice, work carried out to the standards our accreditations demand, and a warranty that puts our name behind the result.
Diagnosed properly, first time
Experience means faults get diagnosed rather than guessed at. We tell you straight what needs doing and what doesn't, including when a repair is the sensible answer instead of a replacement.

Backed by a 12-month warranty
Every installation and every repair carries a 12-month warranty. If something isn't right, you call the same team that fitted it and we come back.
Enquiry-led, never pushy
