Aren't they all made to measure, that's the whole point?

I'd already ruled them out, having seen them working on next door.

Continual phonecalls

Worse than estate agents

Alan Hill. Top, top quality and customer service fantastic. If anything was to go wrong, they are out to see you within a couple of hours.

Don’t go anywhere near Anglian or Everest.

And don't go to Alan Hill unless you are prepared to have to ring them 4 times just to get a quote out of them. Very poor customer service

MPN Windows and Doors replaced our old patio door with a new French Door. They gave the best price, best lead time and completed the job exactly as they promised. No deposit they only took payment when we were happy the job was finished.

No complaints from me at all.

They used to (and might still) sponsor the subs at HT down the City

They’re “JACKS” though :hehe:

I've been using Suburban Windows for 10+ years. They've done probably 6 or 7 jobs, always 1st class and attentive after-sales if needed.

Me too, two different jobs at two different properties over the last 8 years, very cheap and very professional. Suburban Windows are very good

Tbf they did a conservatory for us and the work, buildfinish and communication was excellent all through the job.

After the small deposit they only wanted to be paid when the work was completed and we were happy.

I don’t say they were the cheapest but my experience with them was excellent

Educate me then? Are companies putting windows in that are 30-40mm short? When they come out, they measure up, it's in their interests to do so.

This has always been my experience of the situation. Even on a new build extensions where I obviously build the openings spot on as per drawing:hehe: the openings are measured prior to manufacture.

Yeah, what advantage would a window fitter get from putting in under sized windows? ****ing baffled :hehe:

There are obviously standard size openings, 1200 x 900, 1200 x 1200 etc, but good luck to a manufacturer making a batch of windows standard size. We know, in the game, that it doesn’t work that way. They’re very rarely timber nowadays where a chippie could run a plane up the sides......haven’t seen a chippie use a hand plane or saw for that matter. They’d rather pick a rattlesnake up than a tool without a lead or battery:hehe:

Don't see Timber windows, unless they're hardwood or sash, and they're all double glazed. I can remember putty. Loved the smell of it :hehe:

I won't go to them on principle.
They did my neighbour's conservatory ( a bloody big one!) and sure, it looks ok.
But they extended their workplace into my garden, not so much as a by-your-leave.
Not only that, but they had concrete delivered by a lorry with a snorkel thing; it needed to extend its stabalisers, where did they put them?
Right in the middle of my lawn!. This was in November or December, so the ground was wet, and the stabaliser made a two-foot deep hole in my lawn, so big you could stand in it.
Even worse, the lorry driver buggered off without saying anything.
Only when I emailed the office with a pic did the on-site workers actually fill the hole.
Bastards.
