I'm looking for back door and front door of quality fitting. My limit is around £1,200 for both doors. You can get loads of bricks for half that price. Brick up your door areas - some windows too if you can keep within budget - and this will keep your house warmer and reduce the KWHs usage on your electricity. No thanks ness. I get pleasure from thinking I am helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they're a load of northern monkeys and their adverts are annoying but I had them fit double glazing throughout my gaff including a coloured front door with 8 point locks for £4k. Had them for four years and, touch wood, haven't had any problems with them... Don't know if you can touch wood with Safestyle - don't they only do upvc? Are they from Burnley or some other God-forsaken hole nearby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I did a bit of work for Genesis Windows about 20 years ago, still ran by the same bloke and high on quality. Have a word with him, when he sends someone around to measure up, he'll go through the options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's large companies with the Young sales men never take there first offer. you want a small one man bander who buys direct from a manufacturer. There's a few manufacturers in derby, especially ascot drive, if you were to call in one im sure they'd know a local fitter they could recommend.

That was one of my cheapest quotes and nice doors too. Got a friend who works for him self popping around who will be the cheapest etc just worried about any guarantee or if any! It was a big company offered me £3000 for the front and back then 'Rang his boss' to get a mega deal of £2000 for that day only. Told them Ill think about it then it rised to 3-4 days big deal. Spoke to the Dad he had the same company delivered the doors with broken glass and smashed his tiles so yeah not good lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
