Advantages: None - if they don't bother to show up

Disadvantages: No service

It appears that national Double Glazing companies can't always be bothered to turn up for appointments. I am currently looking to replace 4 windows in my house and booked visits from 4 DG companies - 2 national and 2 local. Neither of the 2 national companies bothered to turn up for the visits or even phone me to advise that they would not be coming. I contacted one of them - Staybrite and asked why. No expanation was forthcoming. It has been suggested to me that perhaps my 'job' was too small for them. If that is the case, when I contacted them to arrange a visit and specifically mentionned that I had only 4 windows to replace, it would have been nice if they had said it wasn't the job for them at that time. Instead, I rushed home from work and had to pass an important project to a colleague to be at home in time for their visits.

Summary: For small jobs (4 windows) - use local companies

There is a good chance you told the national companies you have a partner who wouldn't be there for the presentation & measure up or maybe told them you would be getting other quotes. The national companies will generally only send a rep out if they think there is a good chance of getting a sale on the first visit. They won't come out to just one partner because the "I've got to discuss it with my partner" reason often blocks an on the day sale. They don't tell you this because they wan't you to think its only a quote and not a sales visit if they are short of appointments and do actually send a rep out.
