Need new windows :(

We have cheap and elderly double glazing, installed by previous owners. We are now getting condensation and mould growing between the two glass panels so I guess they need replacing. I'd like to replace the whole window frame as well so we have the option of locking window slightly open for ventilation. They really are ancient nasty and cheap we have no paperwork relating to them.
I have a deep distrust of double glazing sales reps has anyone got any idea how I can find a reputable reliable company. In other houses we've had horrible pressurised sales visits and I really can't face that sort of thing at the moment.
Any idea of the costs ? We really need five windows (three smallish two panel with fanlight, two larger three panel with fanlight) and a front door. It's a (relatively) modern house so they're not huge.
Hope someone can help

Get 2-3 quotes from local installers. knock on your neighbours doors and ask who fiited theirs and were they happy.0

Where abouts are you based? we are in south london/surrey and had some fitted last month. extremely happy with price, installation and quality.
They were a local firm called first windows systems and there was no hard sell at all.
