Mum's finally decided to take the plunge and get the whole house done with new windows. Our current windows are old style metal framed ones which are really energy inefficient and are also prone to mould. She wants to replace them with nice new double glazed ones.
The only problem is she's really stuck at who to get them done by. She doesn't know whether to go for a major company(such as Safestyle or Anglia) who you'd assume would be quality and do a good job, albeit for a larger price tag. Or to go for a smaller local company who might be cheaper but have less of a reputation to go on.
Obviously price is a factor, but she's more worried about being ripped off and having it done badly than trying to get the cheapest possible windows. Has anybody had their windows done recently? Any recommendations? We’re in the Loughborough area.
Also, to avoid making a new thread about a similar subject, she wants to get the gas fire redone, we currently have a horrible old 70s thing hanging off the wall which she wants replacing with a nice real flame style gas fire. The only problem with this is that we have a back boiler, which she’s been told will need relocating.
She has the same problem here, she doesn’t know whether to go to British Gas, to get a good job done, but expensively, or to go to a local company(bearing in mind she’s already asked a couple for quotes, one has since become bankrupt and the other never turned up!). So any recommendations for this too would be great.
Thanks for any help.
