    Proclad supplied and installed my sisters, excellent value for money, quality and service. I hope to use them myself when funds are better later in the year.
    I had proclad out to price and they were the most expensive...Perstige came in £500 cheaper, but hoping to get a few more and get it even cheaper again

    You could try buying the windows yourself and getting a local builder to fit them.

    It's not rocking horse science to do it yourself!

    If you fit them yourself you may not get a warranty .

    Not specifically windows, but we got the outside of the house cladded by Easi-Clad (Carrick/Larne) in June. Wouldn't recommend them - customer service leaves a lot to be desired. They were a day late in the first place coming to do the work - I had to contact them to find out why they hadn't turned up. Now the back of the house has "buckled" - again getting them to contact us is a nightmare - we have to keep ringing them back, they never bother returning calls. :(

    I used SFG Windows and Conservatories, Whitewell Road for UPVC windows and doors last year, and was extremely impressed with everything, the installers were very freindly and efficent and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone
