Therefore, you\u2019ve a blank canvass and no idea whether a company is honest and reputable or trading illegally and performing botched jobs. Word of mouth is a good place to start.  Ask friends and relatives for some recommendations if you know they\u2019ve had new windows fitted recently. Of course, don\u2019t just take their word \u2013 make sure to compare quotes still to see if there\u2019s a better deal available. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DG200-5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DG200-5.jpg\" alt=\"wondow companies\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-343 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DG200-5.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.local-quotes.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DG200-5-150x150.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 200\/200;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Company history<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The double glazing industry has gone through a crisis in the last 12 months with redundancies and bankruptcies, mainly caused by homeowners tightening their purse strings and being less likely to make investments in their property. With any product a guarantee is almost essential, but if the company goes out of business it won\u2019t be worth the paper it\u2019s written on. Check to see that the company you\u2019re dealing with hasn\u2019t changed their trading name and there\u2019s a history of honoured guarantees.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cheap isn\u2019t always cheerful<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. This is exactly the same in most trade industries, so effectively the more you pay out, the better quality of product you\u2019ll receive. Of course, there can be exceptions to the rules, particularly when companies are competing for your custom, but as a general rule if you\u2019re paying cheap you\u2019re not likely to get quality of product and standard of installation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Attend company showrooms<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Visiting company showrooms gives you the chance to see certain products on the shelf. With a range of different designs and styles it\u2019s an excellent way to compare and find out what would be most suited to your home. You can get details on the specifics of an installation and even get a feel of the company and how they deal with potential customers. This is the perfect test of their customer service skills.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Beware one time offers and discount<\/strong>s<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If a salesman offers a discount or one-time offer to ensure you sign-up on the spot, that\u2019s the time to watch out. Discounted prices tend to be the product\u2019s standard price, so it appears they\u2019re doing you a favour. A common sales tactic is to feign a phone call to their manager requesting a discount of your behalf. Make a point of asking for their best price at the first time of asking, rather than receiving discounts to try and secure your business. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t succumb to hard sales<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Some companies will stop at nothing to ensure you sign-up with them rather than a competitor. If this is the case, it\u2019s worth bearing in mind that they need the work and perhaps don\u2019t have as many customers as someone else offering a reasonable price for an excellent product and service. Thousands of pounds can be knocked off in an instant to commit you to signing the dotted line, but if this is the case, that same deal will be applicable a week or month later. The sign of a good company is one that will provide you with all the relevant information and let you make a decision, rather than badgering you with phone calls and offering reductions.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Written confirmation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With replacement windows you\u2019ll be parting with quite a considerable sum of money, so make sure you have an official contract to sign with everything in writing to confirm the details. Without doing this you could end up with a mess to clear up at the end if the contractor doesn\u2019t take away the old windows. Realistically you should ensure the window replacement type, price and deposit details are all in writing, plus any extras such as the clear-up. This is also useful when comparing quotes between companies so it\u2019s easy to see what is and isn\u2019t offered with the service. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The after sales service<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unfortunately from time to time not everything will run smoothly and you\u2019ll be completely satisfied with the end result. For these times it\u2019s important to hire a company that will come back and quickly correct any complaints you may have with no fuss or bother. Speak to the company you\u2019re considering about their aftercare and find out what the process will involve. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DG200-9.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.anytrades.co.uk\/guides\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DG200-9.jpg\" alt=\"DG200-9\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-347 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 200\/200;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Identify the fitters<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At the end of day you want fitters that will complete a quality job so you\u2019re pleased with the window replacement. How good the finish is, will depend on the fitter completing the work. When speaking to a company ask about their fitters; How much experience do they have? Are they qualified joiners? Do they only work for that company? It\u2019s also advisable to find out how they intend to keep the house clean and tidy throughout the installation and if the old windows will be taken away.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Official certification<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are two trading bodies you should be aware of for the glazing industry; Fensa and Certass. When a glazing company is registered to one of the mentioned organisations, they ensure standards are met and Building Regulations adhered to. It is always highly recommended to hire a company registered to Fensa or Certass because if you have any issues they\u2019ll help fight your case.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Facts &amp; Figures You&#8217;ll Love To Share <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>[tweetable alt=&#8221;&#8221;]Replacing your inefficient windows with double glazing will help you save up to \u00a3200 a year on expensive household bills.[\/tweetable]<\/li>\n<li>[tweetable alt=&#8221;&#8221;]Installing double glazing is an environmentally friendly option, slashing carbon by 680kg annually.[\/tweetable]<\/li>\n<li>[tweetable alt=&#8221;&#8221;]As well as a monetary saving, double glazing will cut condensation and reduce noise pollution.[\/tweetable]<\/li>\n<li>[tweetable alt=&#8221;&#8221;]Switching your old windows will boost your property&#8217;s EPC rating and make your home a more attractive buy in the market.[\/tweetable]<\/li>\n<li>[tweetable alt=&#8221;&#8221;]For homes in Conservation Areas, consider secondary glazing to make energy savings when double glazing isn&#8217;t permitted.[\/tweetable]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Installing a window replacement shouldn\u2019t be as simple as picking the first company that comes along and the first price you receive.
