any company that gives you a price of say £10k and then can reduce it to £4k doesn't deserve any trade at all , all they are relying on is stupid people who accept their first over inflated price . it is time this practice was stopped , and cold calling on elderly and vulnerable people

the gaurantees of a local reputable company will be just as good as any of the big nationals,

Agree on your moral stance to an extent but we live in a Capitalist country and their are hundreds and hundreds of companies who rip people off every day. Just look at profits of BP, Tesco or any of the energy companies. Or take a look at renewal costs for any type of insurance versus online quotes.

You are talking utter nonsense on the guarantee of local companies and should refrain from advising people of things you know nothing about; It is very easy to start manufacturing Upvc windows, you or I could start one up for a very small start up. Many of these 'manufacturers' do not last and any manufacturers guarantee will be out the window.

i think "t.wat" was the word you were looking for

Safe $tile have been out of business on many occasions, and keep coming back from the dead using different names for the people running the company etc. The company name stays the same but the people registered are different, or at least the names are.

They featured on a Watchdog programme because of their work quality and the problems they caused at some people's homes.

I would avoid them at all costs. But that's only what I would do.

As soon as you mentioned Safestyle, I didn't need to read any further.

NEVER EVER deal with these cowboys.

The only sensible place to buy windows is from a local company.

After hours of haggling you will usually end up with -35% of this figure, around £5200. This is a fair price, however if you still say no you may get a call the next day offering you a further -5% to -10% off this reduced price (so around £4700). I would suggest that this is a great buy and a bargain of MSE proportions.

Other benefits of buying from these over local man is guarantee's and warranties. Companies like Anglian and Everest have been trading for a long time and guarantees are genuinely good.

That £4700 is probably still DOUBLE the price of the local company though.

Anglian and Everest are overpriced rip-off shysters as well.
