  • Depends if you have better things to spend the money on, but yeah, if it's burning a hole in your pocket.

    At the moment we have to fix the ceiling that’s coming down, move the toliet to the bathroom from the outhouse and a new kitchen from Wren.
    The new windows will at least cancel all the noise that we used to experience on Stanstead Road, and will actually be a liveable room.

  • Getting the windows done will be easy - plenty of people to take your money to do it. I’d be thinking about if the money gives you enough value compared to the others. Don’t rush stuff!

  • Yeah we found out the hard way! We also realise we can take our times as they don’t need immediate replacing.

  • Don’t rush stuff!

    Extremely good advice.

    Original quote was over £10,000 with Everest (with discount !!).

    Anglian came and quote us north of £7600, still a lots but way better than Everest.

    Next one is a local firm who will come to quote the windows and see what their price is.

    The reason I went for Everest/Anglian is that I quickly learnt that this industry is horrifically inaccessible and they are the least inaccessible one, locals firm are the worst that my girlfriends is now dealing with it leaving me out of the loop (she interpreted everything for me to make sure with both got the same information but it’s still not exactly the same as having full access).
