    The first quote was with 50% off too!!!

    Tapped at his calculator muttering a few words........gave us a price...........phoned his boss to get a possible better offer and kappow..........his best price.

    Yup, the sales rep was wanting us to sign that day too.


    Any ideas on a round about cost of those doors and fitting. Our friends who have just had windows fitted think that £2200 isn't too bad.
    Life is a rollercoaster.....ya just gotta ride it:whistle:

    Any company that does the "I will have to phone the boss" rubbish should be avoided.

    If you go to a reputable local company, then they will send a rep round, who will measure up, ask you what you want, then send you a quote for it. No requirement to sign up on the day, and no bogus "special discounts".
    If it sticks, force it.
    If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.

    When I used double glazing on the web they sent a surveyor round to ensure my measurements were correct, then they confirmed the price quoted from the website was true and we agreed that a fitter would attend to do the work on the following wednesday.
    They didnt send a few salesmen round??
