Having looked at 3 or 4 different glazing suppliers, I was persuaded that Everest windows were a premium product, that the customer services would at least as good as any other company and that the additional cost would be worth-while. I also went for the roofline, guttering etc. I was wrong. 1. The 'on time, every time' ...  Read the complete review

We live by the side of a busy A road and wanted the best double glazing money could buy. So we choose Everest. We paid over £6,000 for 5 windows 4ft x 4ft and a door. We paid £300 extra for 12mm glass for added sound proofing. This price was discounted by 45% so should have been £11,000 On day of fitting they fitted a cracked window but ...  Read the complete review

I recently found myself out of work and found an advert: "Own your own car? Earn £600 a week!" I rang the number, got interviewed by the recruiter and decided to go on the 5 day training course- hey it was free, if I didn't like it I'd not wasted any money myself at least. Having done the training and ...  Read the complete review

We are currently looking to replace our front and back doors and have been asking local firms to provide us with quotes. This was my experience of Regency Windows. The salesman explained to us in length about how his company has been around for ages, how they offer such a great product, how great the locks are... blah..... ...  Read the complete review

My heartache started in october 2003 when i called in a couple of firms to change my windows to my dormers and to clad them. I also wanted to replace my front door and add a porch to it. The first firm that gave me a quote was safestyle windows. I decided to ask people about them and most people said they were not very good. I had a mixed reaction ...  Read the complete review

A while back I went to my local (Reading) branch of Posh Windows and Conservatories to buy a new front door, as well has having new soffits and guttering fitted.

We needed, not wanted new windows and doors. The old ones were held in place by the amount of woodlice nesting in them. So who do you call. Ask around and people soon tell you to steer clear of the big boys, and indeed the message is the same here. (although Ill come back to safe style in a moment). So i ...  Read the complete review

We decided to replace our front door and patio door with Everest products. However the whole process has been like pulling teeth. The original installation was very poor, and our home was left in an absolute mess, there was dust and glue everywhere, plaster and cement splashed up the walls and over the floors. The doors had been fitted ...  Read the complete review

Some months ago when my partner and I first started looking for double glazing we decided to have 3 quotes from well known national companies.The first was from EVEREST and 3 hours later and at over £10, 000 we were seriuosly going off the idea. Next around were ZENITH, again over 3 hours of sales waffle and "rubbishing" the rest ...  Read the complete review

I've always carried out my business on a handshake. I agree to carry out any work and on completion I expect my customers to pay me for what I've done. This system based on mutual trust has never failed me yet. Call me naive (or even stupid) if you wish, but I expect other companies to act with the same level of trust and ...  Read the complete review

As a Rep for a very reputable double glazing company, one you will find no complaints about, i am coming across a lot of people who keep insisting on looking for the cheaper quote, it may seem the natural thing to do, but it can be a huge mistake. The main thing to worry about, is the company you are going to do business with, not the ...  Read the complete review

On the 19th July the lock mechanism fell ...  Read the complete review

Heres a brief guide to not getting ripped off.I have some experience of double glazing salesmen and believe me they are some bad salesmen out there and also some good ones. I have moved a few times and had double glazing fitted at 3 of the houses i have lived in. When you get the "half price windows" or "special offer ...  Read the complete review

INTRODUCTION Conservatories. Glazing. That awful telephone call. Many people refuse to entertain the idea of having a conservatory simply because it means you have to invite salesmen to your house. Well, I took the plunge and have just had one built, and I am delighted with it. I thought it might be useful to share on DooYoo some of the ...  Read the complete review

I would like to add my comments about my absolutely dreadful experience with Coldseal. We asked them to construct a conservatory in July 2001 costing close to £15000. Since construction we have had numerous problems including the ceiling not being aligned properly, inadequate drainage, and the polycarbonate sheets on the ceiling being scratched ...  Read the complete review
