I live in St Neots and have a 4 bed house requiring new windows and a front door (and an adjustment to the existing back door and 1 french door) - does anyone have any recommendations for a form that offers good quality, well priced windows with decent, reliable and trustworthy fitters? I want to avoid any cowboys but have no way of knowing who is/isn't.

Hi, we would recommend Allstyle windows at Maulden, speak with Tim, really nice guy and not your typical double glazing salesman.

We had some work/windows/doors from Concept windows/St Neots windows last year and did have trouble with them. Very vague on prices and extras, front door not fitted properly and not the best customer service, the fitters bullied my wife into paying even though they hadn't finished the job, when she didn't pay I got a call from the boss threatening to rip out our front door and leave us with a hole!! I would suggest you avoid them.

Thanks for that - I've heard similar about St Neots windows so they're already on my avoid list smile
Have e-mailed a company called Kloeber for a quote and will try the company you mention as well.

Not exactly near but Elmes Windows in Stevenage are very good. Not exactly near to you but they do cover your area, we used them for many years when we lived in North Herts and they are a family business with excellent references and after sales service.

Another company on the avoid list is G&P windows. I've had a bad windows/door fitting experience.
So have the in-laws and a work colleague.

Not really much help with suggestions but I would state not to use Anglian Windows! the windows and doors we got I can't fault but the fitters were awful. They fitted them Jan 2012 basically whole has has damp spots around all windows and doors, handles began to fail, had French doors in look great but issues with them as well etc, etc

Only did they decide to do anything when I had a survey done, spoke with CAB and was speaking with Trading Standards, none of the windows or doors were back filled for starters and various other issues.

Granted they were cheap and we got a good price but they use contractors and the contractors were crap. I guess it's pot luck you could have a good job done but based on the principle of how the management deal with issues I'd avoid them on that basis alone.

Regarding Kloeber they're actually based and situated about 400 yards from me I've had a run in with them in the past. One of the vans forgot to look left at a junction and drove straight into me! thankfully they accepted liability all be it blatant and everything was sorted quickly.

Anyway all best with getting double glazing sorted look forward to the '£25k' quotes that soon become okay... okay we can do £17k then 2 hours later your around the £4k mark.

Although Concept Windows were fine for us, I hadn't read your earlier posting. My apologies.
