Default windows .... everest vs anglian?

Is there anything wrong with either of these two companies? Is one
generally preferable to the other?


Anglian are a load of self employed window fitters working for the
local Anglian franchise who aren't good enough to get work fitting
windows any other way. When (not if) the installation is not of
standard suitable standard Anglian head office won't want to know and
only point you back at the franchise. It also says something when the
franchise has to have another team of fitters fully employed going
round corecting instalation problems.

Both Everest and Anglian employ dubious sales techniques. The
"discounts" are not really real, they fiddle the figures by have
stupidly high list prices, and sail very close to the wind on how
those list prices qualify for being used as the discount reference.

You'll get equally good prices, if not better, with a better
installation from a local installer. Ask around and see who has a
good reputation.
