I'm looking for decent quality uPVC double glazing to fit myself at the best price.

Anyone got a suggestions for a direct source?

South of London/Sussex/Surrey would be best but I can travel.

I've already asked about U-Fit on another thread.

Not sure if it is close enough for you, but I recently used, and had a
good experiance with:

The Future Window Co.Ltd
Unit 1, Brook Farm Ind Est
Stapleford Rd
Stapleford Abbotts
Romford Essex
RM4 1EJ

Tel: 01708 688098

They will do "supply only" at reasonable prices.

Look in yellow pages for local companies who make windows. Many will supply
for diy fitting. Avoid the large national companies like the plague.

I'm very pleased with my Screwfix ones - although they only do stock sizes.

B&Q Yeading (the biggest B&Q I know of) has what I suspect are the same: they
have Saracen ironmonger.

You could try Davies & Tate, I think they are in Sussex. Can't say if they
are any good or not, sorry. Web site:

Does it have to be plastic? Why not use a top-class metal-framed
window from Crittall? They make double-glazed inserts nowadays, and
with real hardwood frames, you'd have a sleek, elegant window that
will last far longer than you will! As their advertising says:
"...steel windows have very slender sight lines allowing a light and
airy feel to any room."

Plastic windows are an abomination and a blight across the nation.
They are fitted to houses where they simply do not belong, are often
of poor quality and don't last all that long. Have a look instead at
the modern range of Crittall's products, the "BMW" of window making.
They're the ones architects recommend.

As would be a Crittall window in a Victorian house designed for wood sash
windows.

Magnet may be ok, but I would think that they would only stock standard
sizes - whereas you really want someone to make them to your specified
dimensions.

By "large national companies" I was thinking more of companies like Everest
and Anglian - which are large impersonal outfits. It's far better if you can
deal directly with the person who's going to make the windows for you.

Yeading, near Hayes: turn off the M4 at J3 and head north about 2
miles, turn right at second roundabout. It claims to be the biggest DIY
shed in Middlesex. Go to www.diy.com and click on store finder for a
map also at
