    Which Manufacturer of PVC Windows?

    Yes Kommerling is a very good product and have been round for years. I also like the profile of it as it's slightly rounded. Rehau is considered to be the best but Kommerling is not far behind in terms of quality and if fitted right will last for ages. Synseal is also worth a look as that's a...

    When do I pay the builder?

    Not quality which is why you go for recommendations. They do check things like depth of foundations etc to make sure the builder is building to meet the building control guidlines or so they've told me!
