    My company is also ltd and fully insured i also understand where youre coming from as i have done several repair jobs due to bad workmanship and it seems a lot of people are jumping on the band wagon for windows you used to just have fitters.Trouble is that someone sees a window fitted and they think they can do it.
    I was told once that you can get the best window thats on sale and a bad fitter will make it look awful but you can buy a cheap window and a good fitter will make it look fantastic.
