Unfortunately some double glazing companies have given the industry a bad reputation, so when people go to buy their new windows and doors they can often be hesitant and not know who to go to first in fear that they may buy from ‘cowboy’ suppliers.
The good news is that the companies who give the industry a bad name are in the minority. However, you should still be cautious to make sure your choose the best supplier, as although you will obviously want great products that will last for years to come, you also want to make sure that you are getting value for money.
Whether getting your windows doors and conservatories in Aldershot where we are based, or indeed anywhere else in the UK, be sure to keep in mind the following points which should help you to choose a company that you can trust.
1. A key place to start is to look at what previous customers say about the window company. Have a look at their website and see if they have customer recommendations on there. This will give you the proof you need that they will do a good job and can be trusted. However, the window company may only put their most glowing testimonials on the website and ignore the negatives, so you should also look them up on Check trade or Trust a Trader to see if they are a member. These websites shows all customer reviews good and bad – so you will be able to get a true reflection as to how good a company they are.
2. Make sure you base your decision on more than price as simply choosing based on prices is very unlikely to give you the highest quality products and you may find that your windows do not last as long as they should do.
3. Ask around for recommendations from family, friends and colleagues as there is nothing better than getting a recommendation from someone you know and trust. This will then give you peace of mind that the company you use are one that you can trust and will do a great job.
4. Ask to see photo’s of previous jobs the windows company has completed. Or ask if where they have carried out recent jobs so you can go along and take a look at it for yourself. Also ask if they have a showroom that you can visit where you can see samples of their work and ask any questions you may have.
5. Something to look out for are sales reps who start off with a really high price and then reduce it dramatically when you raise an objection. This may be the sales rep trying to get the most commission possible he can out of the sale rather than making you the priority and giving you the best value for money. Ideally you want to look for a window company where they have the customer’s best interest at heart.
Hopefully the above will give you some pointers for when you are choosing between window companies.
