Default DG company - recommended

Seniors Windows, Kippax - a small family business. They did a really
excellent job [1], nice to deal with offered one price which they stuck
to, no pestering with reductions in the hopes of getting the job after
first quoting an higher price. It was the best spec. and the cheapest
quote.

[1] just one niggle....

They installed the window on our front flat sided single story bay,
light oak, but left the bit between the top of the window and its roof
white painted wood. The original paint work was rough and it looked
awful, so they were rung to ask them why they had left it. The answer
was that they thought the light oak all the way would have '...been too
much and the white matches the soffits.' Anyway they readily agreed to
return and sort it out.

They came back today and cladded one level of the surface over the
window, but still left part of it as white painted wood - so another
phone is on the cards, to get the final bit done.

Just one 4" X 10' bit of wood which would need regular painting left on
the house and in time due to exposure will rot. Seems plain daft to me.
If 'light oak' is 'too much', what's wrong with cladding it with white
cladding - just to make it a finished job?

As already said a pretty good job, but spoiled for an 'apparth of tar.
Unasked, today they pointed some brickwork which had been disturbed
slightly during fitting.
