I'm very happy with my Screwfix one. They only supply stock sizes, though.

People have previously recommended www.u-fit.co.uk. I can't vouch for them
myself, though, I wouldn't dream of allowing new uPVC windows anywhere near
my property.

Why not?

It would not be appropriate for an Edwardian period property. uPVC is better
left for modern hutches.

All I can say is the Screwfix window and patio doors I bought look to me
to be the equal - at the very least - of the offerings from the national
'names'. And much better than most, despite the modest price.

Of course they're stock sizes, but this forced me to do some minor
brickwork etc mods to fit it properly. I've seen 'pro' installations -
presumably custom made - where they've used some form of PVC infill both
inside and out. At least mine looks like it really was custom made by the
end job.

Fine at back and sides of older houses.

They're not when you look closely and try them. As you do with others
after buying your first. I've seen several patio doors I'd describe as
downright flimsy.

For what it's worth you could have a look at these, be warned every DG site
you log onto you'll receive a phone call follow up. We spent ages going
reading up and listening to salesmen of varying degrees of obnoxiousness and
finished up buying nothing, it all looked so damn ugly, it seems to be all
plastic frame and so little glass. By the way a friendly 'estate agent' says
DG adds nothing to sale value but is a selling point.

That's optimistic. On some properties plastic windows can knock thousands
off the value. Many buyers like Original Feechers.

It can add value, it depends on the property.

I've just got a quote from U-fit as well. No one on this NG has slated
the quality, only some problems with service so I'm tempted by their
quote.

I can't find anything on Wembley Windows (London based) on the net.
They seem like a decent outfit (Established 25 yrs) but the quote is
£2800 for 3 windows including fitting while U-Fit's is half that price
without installation.

I've never understood the distinction, unless you define "selling point" to
be something that affects the value less than several thousand.

In any case, uPVC DG will affect the value very differently. On a 1980s
house, it will increase value (as the new purchaser will have to replace the
SG). On a 1910s one it is a serious knockback (as the purchaser will have to
replace with wooden sashes or suffer opprobrium from neighbours).
