I am also updating the windows in my 2 bed bungalow and Ive decided on UPVC. I've had a few quotes and two the firms Ive contacted have indicated that my present windows (which are secondary glazed aluminium) may have a scrap value. One of these companies told me that the fitters would take my old windows and share out the profit between them and as such the company made no money from the scrap value therefore they could not offer a reduction to me on the new windows.

That's nice of them. :rotfl:

Think that's a bit of a cheek tbh. If they asked you if you wanted them dumped then fair enough but to just state this is what would happen is not on imo.

I am currently looking at Alu windows for my new house. My research has led me to spending countless hours on forums and on phones to companies in the spirit of research. Here below is what I have to share as I get ready to place my order and happily part with a fair chunk of money.

Worth Considering -

Alutimber/Parkside Group (lovely customer service too)
Velfac (recommended by architects readily. Or at least mine did...)
Rationel (Supply only)
Broxwood
Internorm
Nordan
Marvin

Worth ignoring ----

eComerchant
Russel Timber Tech
Rawington


Ireland ----

Aluwood.ie
Swedish Trade Centre (imports Scandinavian Aluclad windows in - add gmail to make contact)

Who I am going with
