Google a local window/upvc supplier, every trading estate has one. They usually have a list of recommended installers. Bear in mind all the good fitters will be very busy. Self employed fitters are usullay very good at their job, not so hot on getting quotes out😉 (26 hour days wouldn't be enough currently in the building trades).

I used a local company several times - no pratting about - just arrive, discuss requirements, measure and send the quote in the post

the national firms I tried for a quote tried all the old hard sell stuff
I even made it clear that I would NOT be signing anything that day - but they still insisted on me signing a form with lots of writing on it so that 'my manager knows I actually came here"
I even had to threaten to call the Police to get one person out - I told him he had one hour and no more - he was still wittering 2 hours later when I told him to leave - which he ignored.
In my opinion if the sales force use lots of hard sell tactics then the company is dodgy - so I wouldn't trust the other departments either!

Used them(Safestyle) when we brought our house 25 years ago, paid up front, fitted quickly without fuss, afterservice was good, all the windows are still in and function, the doors were replaced about 5 years ago...by Safestyle. Again, no fuss fitting, no problems.
Negatives...you have to go through the silly 'negotiations and theyre persistent on the day, they start with silly prices, you weedle it down to something palatable. If youre strong and stick to your guns, no problem, but its a shame they have to be so predictable.

I wonder what happened if you had an odd number of windows? Bet they didn’t do one at half price!

I now have a local guy installing my windows and a door. Starts on the 15th. Fingers crossed covid doesn't get in the way..

We need new upvc double glazed windows and a door.

Has anyone used this Bradford based company and would care to share some feedback with me please ?

Thank you

Rip off merchants, almost as bad as anglian home improvements.

Ended up going straight to factory for Windows(SGM) and local installer is fitting them. Got triple glazing for 40% of their quote (27% of anglian home ripoffs quote)
