Double Glazing
"Abandon hope all ye who enter here." I'm about to arrange the most dreaded of appointments, for a double glazing salesman to come round to give us a quotation.
We need 6 new windows and a backdoor but for now it's the three upstairs windows for the rear that we'll get done as they can be installed in a day with no other work required. The downstairs three are in the sun lounge and will have to wait until the summer for the work to be done as it's just too cold for that at the moment, and will require major redecoration.
I really don't enjoy salesmen of this ilk. Who do they think they're kidding with the initial multi-thousand pound quote and then all the guff about discounts, offers, "need to talk with my manager", sucking of teeth, bashing away on a calculator bollocks? I'm thinking of being a right git up front and giving them a warning. They only get one chance to give me a quote. If it's bollocks they're out the door, no sale. Could be quite fun. Deep breath, wish me luck.

Friend of mine got this sorted. Measure up your windows yourself and pop in to various double glazing places asking them to post you a quote. Sorted.

I'm sure you'll find the vast majority of double glazing salespeople these days are honest people and they'll just give you a quote for what you need.
