    Im in Bristol, its replacing an existitng old window.
    They said it is a good quality window, can get cheaper apparently.... not really sure about windows myself, but looked good...something about steel in it and hidden rubbers? Im a bit guliable and thick when it comes to stuff like this

    get some more quotes i really don't know i hoped some one else would or replied

    well dont be gullible you have the Internet to sort you out ask what kind of window in a written quote and cheak it out on the net compare it with the cheaper window, always remember if you let people walk all over you they will and there is no such thing as a quote valid for 24 hur

    check out Thomson local and put in your post code and Glaser's phone the closest company and the second closest

  • UPVc windows can vary in quality, although cosmetically they all look very similar. The use of steel reinforced frames is a bonus as are good quality hinges. Did the say who the window systyem is made by? Kommerling maybe?
  • Should pay £400 + VAT I would say from a company. Be careful re. the profile being used - Salesmen will make anything sound good.

    Always use FENSA registered if you go down the fitter route also.
