OT: New Windows

[Grombleton]

So i'm freezing my knackers off at the moment.

We have wooden framed windows and wooden doors which i think are double glazed. However, due to the cold weather they do let a lot of heat out and cold air in. I've a 2 bed end of terrace house with a bow window in the lounge.

So, good people of NSC - who are your recommendations for companies/people to use to get replacement windows/doors? I'm looking to get UPVC as i'm fed up of the wood ones. Also, feel free to mention anyone that i might want to avoid. Also if anyone knows rough costs (obv difficult without measuring up) so i can crack open the Grombleton Piggy Bank and raid it.

Cheers y'all!

Mark Halliday Windows, every day of the week.
Had all mine done last year with this guy and the workmanship is astounding.

Although I'm in Luton, so can't really advise on anyone locally, I had 9 windows replaced, a UPVC back door and a composite front door - and this came to £4200. Most other quotes were about £5500 for the same job, but the guy I went with had good recommendations and just worked by himself with his brother so seemed to have much lower costs.

I don't have a recommendation of who to use, but check out the new Green Deal initiative.
Green Deal and Energy Company Obligation (ECO) - Grants and savings - Energy Saving Trust
Basically you can get work done and pay for it through your electricity bill via the savings new windows etc would save you on your energy consumption.

Not sure about it yet but haven't had a chance to use it. Hoping you can use the old windows interface if I don't like it.

Over the years I have had the windows in my house replaced piecemeal. Each time I have looked for a range of quotes, and each time I have ended up going for a local, family-run business. That would be my recommendation - look round for local firms. I don't know local Brighton firms as I don't live in the area.

I recommend Windows 8 much better than Windows 7.
