Window maker recommendations wanted

[Ruskin]

We've had local quotes for some PVC sashes but are getting a bit miffed at what we feel are 'Dulwich prices' so want to spread out of the area slightly.

Any recommendations appreciated.

Thanks.

I need the same - will have a look around and see what I can find!

Paul Higgins at Scenic Glazing. 020 8695 2676/07757 115032. Replaced my front bay sash windows a couple of years ago and very pleased with the results. Reasonably priced, lots of recommendations on the forum.

Thanks v much Dresswaves - I've emailed Scenic.

And yes, lightweight, happy to share information. I've also contacted a company (also near West Wickham) called Roberts Windows whom we visited 6 months ago and whose showroom was pretty much what we wanted:

We've literally just had 9 upvc sash windows replaced by Bespoke Windows in Dulwich this week, and we're absolutely delighted with them. We looked around and felt that Bespoke's were the most sympathetic aesthetically to wood. Simple things like the window seals are white as opposed to black like everyone else's. Also the proportions were the closest to wooden sash windows, others are too chunky. Murray the MD comes around and his passion for his product and service shines through. Also the guys that fitted the windows, Father and son team called Jack and Ryan were really impressive, they sealed the rooms like a crime scene to prevent mess and we're polite, friendly and utterly trustworthy.

All in all i thought they were fantastic. Whether Bespoke are the very cheapest i couldn't say, certainly cheaper than the big national companies who quoted, but if you're after the best looking alternative to wood i'd seriously consider giving them a look. I've never recommended any company or tradesmen before but we're so happy with ours that i felt compelled.
