  • I can't help with recommending someone but look for a tradesman that will be fitting it themselves rather than having a team of fitters or a salesman and you've a much better chance of getting a good job done.

  • Good point, this is what I told Mrs Hammer regarding the price (not paying for adverts/promo people in every B&Q/etc).

    Reckon it is a good trade off against a large company warranty?

  • No, the warranties are worth shit, they phoenix the business every few years to get around it.

    I got a quote from 2 nationwide installers and 2 local builders - local builders came in c.40% cheaper and were the guys who would be doing the work.

  • Unless a warranty is insurance backed then it's not worth the paper it's written on. And finding someone with insurance backed guarantees is very hard and you'll pay for it.

    Personally, I would use the FENSA register to find someone local

    Or of course post a job on MyBuilder.com to pay my wages.
