Double Glazing Repair estimates.

[rundwald]

5 of my units of various sizes in the main house and conservatory have misted window panes, internally. I have emailed locally and have received estimates ranging from £185 with 10 year warranty to £290 with 5 year warranty.

Superficially they all seem to offer the same service, remove old sealed unit and fit new. But with such prices and warranty differences, I think I may be missing something. (No! Not a screw ).

Are there more questions I should ask of the firms to ensure that I get a good job at reasonable price?

BTW I live on the Hants Dorset border.

Ah well it seems I'm on my own, unless anyone at least knows some firm in my area (BH postcode) they can recommend someone

how long does a 10 year gtee last!!!!
answer untill the company goes out off buisness

basicly go for the the local company with a reputation

tell them if they give you a good deal you will come to them when the rest need replacing

 

[rundwald]

I see where big-all is coming from, but what if the warranty is insurance based? Also take the point about local reputation, but unfortunately do not know anyone who has needed repairs.

So if anyone on DIYDoc has a recommendation in the Bournemouth postcode area, I'll will welcome it.

Hi. Check out my experiences in //www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=185492 below when I bought some units a few years ago. As a general rule, the nearer you can get to manufacture the cheaper it should be.
