I think it looks really good. It's a good ratio of glass to frame as more glass could have dominated the bay.

That said. If your not going to be selling anytime soon it would not bother me in the slightest not having it.

When you come to sell you can always get retrospective cover or just indemnity, thats if the buyers really care.

Just need a really good drill, some packers and sealant.and your FENSA certification



Why?

You don't need a certificate if your doing it yourself. If you putting in completely new windows you just need to inform the council, you don't need to have FENSA.

FENSA is nothing special anyway. Just means its up to spec which chances are the glass you buy will be. Has nothing to do with the quality of installation.


Yes you should have that or have the install approved, I was just making the point that it's not quite as simple doing it yourself, there needs to be a little bit of consideration

Everest are crap! I work for a company who make for many of the window companies in the uk (mainly special order items) to be honest you would be better going for one of the small one man companies as you get a better service than the larger companies.

My mum and dad just had triple glazing put in their house and used a local lad to do them and the service and quality was miles better than the bigger companies.

No way I am I fitting my own, although my mate used to do it so know whats involved

Yes Ben 25k to 8k was for exactly the same quote no changes to spec or work to be carried out

In the end gone for a quote at just over 3k which I don't think is too bad although cannot be compared to the Everest quote as the spec of windows was better at Everest - but not £5k's worth better

Agree with Marc after working on sites and seeing the knuckle draggers that lash them in it's quite and easy job

Everest are laughably overpriced. Amazing that they can go from 25k to 8k for presumably the same spec windows?

My grandad worked for a window firm for a while after retiring from Ford so we get all our glazing from them.

They still managed to mess up my dads 3k bi-fold doors though. Fortunately they put everything right for free.

Makes you wonder how many don't know better and pay the higher prices though.

What a nightmare of an industry double glazing is, Had a few round with so many variations on price, advice and overall professionalism

Worst was Everest - was never going to purchase but by God I wonder how they are still in business. For the Front of our house we started at 25k and got down to 8k - still 5k dearer than the one I am going to go with

and then they wonder why Double Glazing Industry gets a bad name
