double glazing

I,m thinking about getting double glazing fitted to my home for the first time, so i dont know all the ins and outs about the different firms to buy from.

I have seen windows and doors fitted by "Nationwide Windows"of Rugby and i was very impressed with them.
Anyone had any dealings with this firm, and how long did it take to fit.
Your comments would be helpfull.

Thank you.

    I would suggest you are best dealing with a local firm rather than the big nationwide companies. Speak to your neighbours for their recommendations.

    I totally agree with missile, get some recommendations from neighbours/friends and than get a few quotes.

    Prices from the big nationals are usually very expensive compared to local firms.

    Hi Rev,

    I was in exactly the same situation to you a few months back, I followed the advice on this website http://www.double-glazing-web.co.uk and it proved invaluable, tells you all the things to look out for and a great little questionnaire to help you along, I have never had any spam or anything from this site so in my eyes it was a great help to a newbie homeowner like myself. Hope this helps and best of luck.

    Cheers

    If you have a problem fix it, if you can't fix it don't worry because it will happen anyway! :D
