I have asked Safestyle, Anglian, Gardinia to quote for the downstairs 3 windows, One 4 piece BAY window, One front door and 2 side panels, one rear door.
The Bay windows has 4 openers(2 on each side)
The quotes are as follows.
The most unprofessional was Safestyle. 2 sales reps came around and within 5 mins without any measuring quoted £5500. They later came down to 300/window, 500 per door all coming to 3000 if I also had 2 other properties done with them. They said if i didn't sign up they would NOT be coming back and didn't leave a name as they left as i was not going to sign up on without some time to think.
Anyway that night Anglian turned up who quoted 6K and when i told them of the safestyle quote the rep matched the 3000 quote initially. He later phoned me and said his boss would only allow 3650 as the minimum price as the price he quoted would not be passed.
The third quote was from Gardinier who came out around 3700 for just 2 openings on BAY window.
SO having got 3 quotes and some really cheap ones from local contractors who come at just under 3000 I had safestyle in to go for all three properties for 8500 with 3000 for the above property.
Anyway safestyle missed 2 appointments, rang to say 3000 was too cheap and sent another rep who quoted 4500 and said there product was better than Anglian and now they would quote 10500 for 3 properties which seems like a volume discount does not apply in D/G sales.
I have since spoke to Anglian and they will come tommorrow night to fine tune the deal on the one property.
I'm i being quoted a FAIR price for the property above?
The Gardineer product is made by Bowater and is 5 chamber, anglian 3 chamber but 15 yr warranty, safestyle is 3 chamber but reps are arrogant/untrustworthy in my opinion.
