8th December I wrote here about my Everest igloo. 20th still living in freezing conditions. Another fitter is coming out today to take the door and windows apart and fully seal out the cold while they make new fitting. Traffic noise is horrendous - depite Everest double glazing, vertical blinds and floor to ceiling lined curtains drawn in front of the Everest unit! Full central heating on and electric fan heaters battle against the cold through the Everest Windows.
The Everest windows installation manager came yesterday. The fitter instructed to seal the windows temporarily had not done the work instructed. The patio door sealed with plastic tape still did not allow escape in event of a fire. Should I have worried - YES. I had a fire! Luckily I spotted it before it had the place ablaze - if it had got to my hall I would not have got out alive! Mind you my frozen body would have taken longer to burn! The manager had nothing to make me comfortable.
The Everest windows fitter had said I would be ok in the event of a fire as I could pull the plastic tape off - this is AFTER I had already had the fire last week! HE didnt even attempt to take any of the tape off to do work. If you want to see a photo and the full saga go to gravevine4you dot blogspot.
New patio doors have been ordered - but in aluminium. Not at all happy that I had perfectly good aluminium removed to have the same put in place. I wanted minimal maintenance. The manager doesn't know when these doors will be ready. No sign of them this side of Christmas and wouldnt be surprised to learn they have shut shop until New Year!
As I had to be here again waiting for Everest windows fitter I couldn't go to friends to sleep last night and get warm.
EVEREST WINDOWS Surely they should be called NEVER REST WINDOWS!
Have not got Christmas shopping, no food and Everest is not on my Christmas card list! Watch this space!
Summary: Everest Windows an VERY EXPENSIVE, STRESSFUL, NIGHTMARE - ever lasting ?

- 06/01/07 6th January. I am fuming at the moment. I have opened a letter from the Glas and Glazing Federation:
&q uot;We understand that the company (Everest Ltd) does not accept that your PVCu door was not fit for purpose and their decision to replace it (with aluminium) was taken because they wanted to help you, not because they had to."
If it was fit for the purpose why replace it? I bet if all the people who have had windows out their asked for aluminium they would be turned down. Why after all the fitter does the window (1) leak badly (2) have draughts (3) noisy (4) why did they phone and offer to put secondary glazing behind this to stop the draught and condensation . I am getting a local councillor to come and witness the phone call and he can see the state of puddling at the same time. The wind has dropped so he will not be able to feel a draught at the moment.
They say no request for service was made until 5th December and the windows were installed late Spring. They know perfectly well (1) we had a very hot and dry summer (2) my husband was in hospital from 5th September until he died on 1st October and I spent at least ten hours a day at his bedside (3) following his funeral I was not at home becuase I could not bare being here without him - beside I dont think we had rain until about beginning of December! My husband frequently complained he was cold but I put this down to his blood thinners not thinking for one moment there could possibly be a draught through the new windows!
If they think I am going away they are mistaken!!!! |

- 27/12/06 I have found the cause of all the Everest window problems - there is no sealant between the frame and glazed section on one side - there are numerous places where water can enter in other places and there are signs of rust. THE WINDOW IS IN DANGER OF BLOWING DOWN IN THE NEXT GALE. Some approx 15 feet x 7 feet tall would cause hell of a lot of damage if it blows in. I have put more photos on my website. Pick Everest at your peril! |

- 23/12/06 This is a complete nightmare! They have now left a message do I want secondary glazing behind the existing faulty frames! Am I on You have Been Framed, Beedles About, or House of Horrors.
I cannot take much more of this. Surely I am going to wake up and find it is a nightmare. There is a human breaking point and Everest have pushed me to the edge of the cliff! www.grapevine4you.blogspo t.com. Add your comments here on this website so no one goes through the hell Everest windows have put me through. Thank goodness for sites like dooyoo - wish I had done some research first before believing the advertisement! |
