double glazing quotes

Does anyone have any tips for comparing double glazing quotes without being exposed to hard-sell telephone calls? I have a very limited budget and do not want to take credit! I just want to know how many windows I can get done within my existing budget. Thank you!

    go to a reputable local company rather than one of the nationals , you shouldn't get any hard sell from them

    yep local company, ask around. I was invited in the workshop to see them making the windows and doors and the address of three of their customers
    so I could contact them. Local business will come around measure up and give you a quote if you dont like it just say no thanks.

    I dont care for "free" gimics I just ask " how much will the window cost me fitted" and thats it. regards bri

    Speak to friends and neighbours ... Deal with a local firm as they are much more likely to take customer service seriously. Much less likely to give you the hard sell too.

    as above. deal with a local independant company only.
    do not use any national DG company who should actually be selling used cars.
    Get some gorm.
