Conservatory - between 2 quotes

SamwiseGamgee83

Hello,

I'm hoping someone may be able to offer some advice. I'm looking to replace an old decrepit conservatory and have had a couple of quotes that I'm happy with but not sure how to choose between the two. Both companies have good reviews online, quotes are similar prices and I got on with both people who visited. I don't know enough to understand if there's any difference in quality of materials which is where I'm hoping for some help.

Both quotes include a survey, project management, waste disposal and an Active Blue glass roof. They both use the existing concrete base with no additional electrics/plumbing and provide 10 years insurance. 

Quote 1

Gutters and downpipes and associated lead work

White windows with 2no opening lights and French Door with glazed side panels manufactured from ‘lead free’ Pvc-u fully welded profiles.
‘ A’ Rated 4mm Low Iron x 20 Argon Gas filled cavity with Swiss V spacer bar x 4 Planitherm Total units are fitted as standard.
Critical locations are glazed with toughened glass in accordance with current Building Regulations. Security multi-point shoot-bolt locking, key locking handles and friction hinges are all included as standard features.

Quote 2

Registration of the new glazing with the relevant local authority

This company attached a CAD drawing (which I've attempted to post here). They also attached an 'eco energy plus' brochure which lists an 'A' rated low E glass with Argon gas filled cavity, a 6 chamber system, and an 'ERA' locking system for, I assume, both the windows and doors. The eco energy plus brochure is the only information I have from this company regarding quality of materials but it does look quite good.

My initial feelings are that quote 2 might be better, or am I falling for the addition of a drawing and a glossy brochure? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, you need to add the quoted price to see if you are paying too much or too less

Quote 1 = £*****

Quote 2 = £****

What are the profiles being used . good ones like rehau . kommerling . veka . & average ones like spectus . system 70 . eurocell . Seem very similar  quotes and good choice to go with active glass , you could play one against the other and try for extras .

also under 6k isn't a bad price without seeing the sizes but its not big going off the look of the French door (about 2200 x 1800)
