Wait until a spotty 14-year-old lad knocks your door with a glossy leaflet in his hand and lies to your face. Whichever firm he's from, they're the best.

I'm sat by the door right now, I can't see anyone... could be a long wait.

Based in Wigston.

UPVC

Need 1 bow window
1 French door
9 windows
3 doors (two composite)

With a bit of building work needed:
1 window bricking up
1 window making a bit taller
Support adding for downstairs windows if no lintel.

I've been quoted £10,000 and would like to pay less than that.

The quote I had was for what looked good quality B rated windows.

Safestyle quoted me £3500 for their top of the range windows, that was for 8 windows and 2 doors.

You do ahve to tell them you don't want them at all 3-4 times and each time you do the price comes down.

we had these to do our house, not the cheapest but the best by far.

I had a huge amount replaced by these, including french doors, bay windows and some stained glass.

Take it you were happy with the job they did?

I did my own with a builder mate of mine. 5 windows cost around £1600 iIrc.
If you know any builders/chippies they should be able to sort you out.

I don't unfortunately, all I know are bloody printers.

Lol. Never went ahead in the end!

But the quality of the windows they showed me in their hour long presentation you have to sit through to get a quote looked very good. The 'presentation' is the worst thing about the whole that and the fact they keep calling over and over if you don't get it done.

Well in that case it's fairly simple.

Get some flyers made and put them up where you live, please ensure you add the following as this will help you:

''Man with far too much money looking to offload around 10K for around 5K's worth of glass and plaggy''.

If you have no responses within 20 minutes, i'll eat my own turds.

Just looked up reviews online after booking an appointment.. safe to say I have called back and told them not to bother now.

I think you dodged a bullet.
