UPVC Windows supply only

Hello,
We're looking to replace our windows and had a few quotes from local companies, price difference is quite significant. 
Pretty much the same profile, glass or make.
Do you know if I can buy them directly from manufacturer or they deal only with trade?
Something like this
https://www.modernupvcwindows.co.uk/
but I'd like Rehau, Kommerling or a top brand.
I've already found someone to install them, they mainly deal with big projects and expensive stuff, that's why they can't supply what I'd like.
Thank you

    You could try Astra Frames - Don't know who's profiles they use..
    Do bear in mind that you will be responsible for getting Building Regulation sign off unless the fitters are able & willing to self certify. Having that paperwork (usually a FENSA certificate) will avoid any problems with respect to the windows when you come to sell the property.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    Thanks, the fitters are able to provide a FENSA certificate.

    I used https://trade-upvc.co.uk when I needed windows for our extension earlier this year. 

    Locally I either had to wait six weeks or pay over a grand more than normal to get some fitted within a week. 

    Instead I got some made up and fitted them in an afternoon. When I ordered I was able to pay extra for same day manufacture and next day delivery. Saved my bacon.

    Some companies just make windows, some companies make and fit windows, some companies just fit windows. Search locally for manufacturers if that's all you need.
