These lads done mine. Also done windows for me as well. Found them spot on. Good price good service.

If I had to get a new door or window they would be top of my list based on my experience.
 
Not long got two reinforced comp doors, with an 8 lock dead lock plus fitting & frames it cost me 2100. You can usually pick up the doors for 400 - 800 each, just make sure too look around quite abit.

Dont go to TWR or use the fiiter they suggest. My door still has a gap and is hard to lock. Fitter blames TWR, they blame the fitter, ive still got a shit door.

Heard a few reports like this .


Composite and PVC doors look f***ing awful like but do their job brilliantly .

Rehau is a decent profile, not the best though

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread.

I want/need x6 replacement double glazed windows. I am getting a quote next week from a local company who manufacture and install their own windows. They supply windows for a popular local builder and he fits them on his building jobs. He has suggested that we use this company on some other work that he’s quoted for. This company has a 10 year guarantee.

We already have some Rehau patio doors and I have an estimate from a local rehau trade supplier. £1500 including VAT for 6 windows. They have recommended a fitter who charges £90+ vat per window.

My thinking is that if the Rehau trade quote is about £1000 less than the local company then I would ask them to supply the windows. What do I do to ensure that I have some come back if something goes tits up? The recommended fitter is CERTASS accredited but I cannot see any FENSA accreditation for the frame supplier or the fitter.

Is it a case of a trade off between lower price and not having guarantees? But even then the local company could go bust within 10 years.

BTW I don’t live in the NE.
 
I have done some research.

CERTASS are an equivalent to FENSA so I assume that if you have a certificate from either of these you don’t need to register windows/ doors with building control.

Has anyone ever bought their own insurance backed guarantee or should the installers be offering it?
