Double Glazing price /recommendation

Get wooden windows and doors...plastic is very chav...doesn't last as long (assuming you maintain it), and adds value to your house as it looks a LOT better

Ohh FFS.

Yes wood is nicer but it won't recoup the extra cost in a sale and it needs maintaining.

And as mentioned before what the feck have windows got to do with tattoo's and burberry caps?

A nice house can be ruined by plastic windows - admittedly, it depends on the house, but an old house with plastic windows probably says a lot about the inhabitants...

And we're contractors...spend what you earn you tight gits!

I had 4 qiute large windows done in PVC with georgian bars by Coral Windows about 3 years ago.

Great service, nice job, very neat and tidy. £3200.

Get the work done by a local company THAT HAS BEEN TRADING FOR YEARS.
Double-glazing companies are notorious for going out of business after short periods of time.

Get down the library, whip out the microfisches, and look at the adverts in the Gateshead Gazette (or whatever your area is) in 1992 for double glazing companies that were trading back then.

Also google their names to see if any tulip comes up on them of course...

Fensa (Fenestration Self Assessment) just means that the building inspector doesn`t need to come round and certify the windows to building standards.

We had our Bristol Victorian terrace re-windowed (is that a word?) about eight years ago. Funds were tight and we had to get all of the windows done because the replaced windows were falling out. We used a company with the same name as a large mountain at a cost of about £9k. The windows are pants and so bad that we had a full refund.
We are now looking at replacing these nasty cheap wonky windows with hardwood. The Upvc sash ones are Ok (if they worked) but they just don't look right in a Victorian house.
