Everest window quote

  • No installation period from Everest.

    Looking at putting in two to three windows (hopefully). Though if we only have enough money to put one for now then we will have a rough estimate of what to save for more.
    With disposal planning on keeping the windows for future use ( storing in dad's shed) until needed.

    Doing one window at a time will be much more expensive... once a company is on site they can do 2-3-4 much quicker than 3-4 different visits and they'll charge accordingly.
  • Would love to do five at time but it is the cost of it so far that is preventing that. :( thanks for the advice everyone.

    Have had a quote of them, it halved at the appointment and then went down about 5% more with a phone call a few days later.

    Ok so what are people's opinion of "YA BUY ONE, YA GET ONE FREE"

    Wouldn't touch these big companies go for your local small retailers
  • I would not go to Everest. Their windows may look good but I fell for their sales talk and now suffering badly due to poor fitting and finishing and awful customer service.
