Here is a piece from their article about Local Window Fitters:

Need new double glazing? Who would you trust to install it?

by Sylvia Baron, Senior Home Researcher Which? Magazine

“Only 7% of Which? members trust double glazing companies. Not that surprising when they’re renowned for dubious selling techniques, and steep price drops are a familiar part of the sales patter. But building regulations mean we don’t really have a choice but to install double glazing when windows need replacing.

So when you’re shopping for new windows, should you trust the big names like Anglian and Everest, or should you go for a smaller, less well-known local firm? Independent double glazers do better Our latest satisfaction survey of double glazing companies found that that independent traders perform better and might even be cheaper.

The four big national companies (Anglian, Everest, Safestyle and Zenith Staybrite) are apparently leaving customers less satisfied than those who went with an independent double glazing company. As one Which? member said: ‘Local firms rely on word of mouth for their reputation and in a small town they cannot afford to let this slip.’

Local firms could be cheaper too And, while you might assume you could get a better deal using a large firm, that’s not necessarily the case. We sent a price questionnaire to Which? Local recommended double glazing traders to get the average prices you should expect to pay for different double glazing jobs. We also sent the same questionnaire to Anglian, Everest, Safestyle and Zenith Staybrite.

Both Everest and Safestyle declined to share their prices, with Everest telling us, ‘It’s no secret that we charge a premium price for our products’. Anglian and Zenith both provided their prices, but we found that these were typically higher than those quoted by the independent traders who responded.

Problems getting double glazing What’s more, those using local independents are also less likely to experience problems. Of those members who used local firms, around two thirds didn’t have a problem. But this figure fell to just over half for those who went with one of the big four companies.

The most common problems were: delivering the wrong parts, scratched glass, windows not fitting properly, installation taking longer than planned and installers causing damage to a property’s interior. Each of these problems were nearly always more common with the big four.”

Window Glazing options aren’t always very clear, the range of choice for design and color is incredible.

Window Glazing Options for Internal boards and cills

Internal window boards/cills are often horned into the wall either side of your window and are unable to be removed without creating disruption to the wallpaper or plastering.

Most internal window boards/cills are in good order as they do not suffer from external weathering.

Normally redecoration will bring them back to life with a refreshed look. If you do require new window boards/cills they are available  in a range of sizes in the following options:

Internal Timber Architraves

During installation, your windows are finished internally with a series of PVCu architraves and trims to match in with your PVCu windows.

Alternatively, we can finish internally with timber architraves and trims.

This only applies to certain windows so ask your window planner for more information. All timber architraves are installed to a pre-decoration standard.

The end result looks great and can restore the existing character and features of your windows.

Surrey Window Colours

For security and privacy, we offer a wide range of glass styles which offer different levels of obscurity.

Over 500 colour options are available for our extensive window range, our experienced sales team can advise you further.

Designs include White Georgian Bars, Queen Anne, Square Leaded, Diamond Leaded, Stained and Bevelled

 

Thinking about window hardware can make a huge different to the finished project.

Our face-fixed astragal bars mean that you can now have authentic Georgian windows without having to make do with white bars sandwiched inside your glass unit.

They are available in either an Ovolo or Chamfered profile to match our window profiles perfectly.

Using Window Hardware to Improve Access

For added convenience and ease of access, most of our doors are available with an aluminium low-threshold.

As can be seen in the photograph, the heavier frame surround is greatly reduced on the threshold minimising the need to step over the frame.

This is of particular relevance for wheelchair access too.

With regards to access, we can also supply most of our doors with lockable cat flaps for ease of entry for our smaller family members.

Authentic Period Hardware

Many of our products are available with authentic window furniture to enhance the style and character of your home.

In addition to this, they are also available in a wide range of colours and finishes to tailor this furniture to your exacting requirements.
