Double Glazing Firms in North London - Can anyone recommend?

Evening all,

Looking to replace the 5 windows in our flat with 4 windows and a set of french doors to replace the current lounge window.

Could anyone recommend local double glazing firms in North London?

We've got Safestyle and Everest coming round to quote in the next week, I'd just like to compare with a few local companies.

Cheers

    Update on our quotes and visits so far:

    Safestyle - Salesman came round, he was a complete tool, didn't measure up, just said he could do 5 windows for £2000, that was his price and gave an arrogant attitude. We ushered him out of the door after about 15 mins, no thank you!

    Barnet Wondws - Bloke came round, measured up, discussed the various options and went away, came back with a quote the next day of £2400 which I thought was pretty high.

    Henry & Sons - Bloke came round, again measured up and discussed the various options, offered a price of £1600, said this was a cash price or we could pay £1600 + VAT if we wanted it through the books.

    Everest - Salesman came round last night, measured up and said he would go away and put a quote together, still waitiing to hear from him.

    So far the most impressive in terms of service and quotation was Barnet Windows, they posted us a pack detailing all the window sizes, cost per window, etc.

    However, I'm really not sure what the going rate is for replacement of 5 windows so I think I'm going to request a couple of other quotations from local companies.

    I still have the dreaded visit from Anglian later this week.

    Silvercar,

    Can you say how it went with North London Trade Windows please?

    We're considering using them too.

    I'm in Kenton NW London

    I got various quotes for my house ranging from 20k to 7k

    went for a firm that manufacture their own windows in Hayes.

    very good quality.

    Our house has large bays with leaded windows we wanted the leaded rectangular (Just like the original) however when they installed the windows they squared off the lead. When I informed the company they simly replaced all the windows with the correct style Now that's a result :D

    the price was very reasonable as well 8K for the whole house which included quite a few windows most firms were quoting around 12k+.

    The company make they're own winodws using pilington K glass , you can go and view the factoy as well for peace of mind.

    They're called J.S Windows, I can use my name (Gurdeep) as a recommondation if you wish and you may get a discount.

  • Gave up waiting for a reply from Silvercar, so went for North London trade Windows anyway! Their quote was about the same as two others in the area, they carried out the work to a high standard, and they didn't even ask for an upfront deposit -- which amazed me!

    No regrets at all, and would highly recommend them.
  • I had mine fitted by http://www.granvillenoise.co.uk/ I was very pleased with them, they guy was very polite and cleaned after himself as well. They are FENSA registered :beer:

    Edited to add that I also had a quote from Barnet Windows and it was much more than Granville's.
