Cheers, but if I’m being completely honest this is 3 (aluminium?) sliding doors + another door + a glazed unit. Basically the whole back of the house on the ground floor.
Probably a different skill set to sash windows?
I’ll let you carry on with your expert procurement skills then

Yeah, I’m absolutely shit at this sort of thing.
I have an uncanny knack of paying the highest price for the worst service.

Given up on these wankers now.
So today for shiggles I’m going for plumbers instead.
Quite big work - dodgy open cold water tank, shit negative head pump, pretty much every valve in the house seized.
Will anyone want my money? Will they fuck.

I used to use Pimlico Plumbers when I lived in Pimlico and didn’t know what an utter bell end Charlie Mullins was. Their system was good - you just paid through the nose for a plumber on an hourly rate. That way it didn’t matter that the job was a bit of a pig, they just billed you for the time.
I understand that fixed quotes are nice and easy, but if there are likely to be all sorts of problems found on the way, an hourly rate seems more appropriate. But most plumbers don’t seem to offer this.

I’ll take it if you like. Seems like a nice way to get some cheap JBLs.

And the number of people who will share his views means we really do have little chance of containing this thing…

Give up on spending money on a house you are going to sell anyway.
Yo won’t get back your outlay and the new owners will want to ‘put their own stamp on it’*
- I have no idea what this means but estate agents say it a lot

Now working day 19 and still no response.
Also I found out that they tried to transfer all funds back to the original investor and not Hel as the legal owner after transfer - fucking incompetent idiots 
For a while I had a stocks and shares ISA with Scottish Widows.
Whenever I communicated with them I always got the impression that I was talking to a lone person in a shed. They were absolutely hopeless (and their fund managers didn’t manage to make enough to cover their egregious 2 & 20 hedge-fund-grade charges).
For years after I closed it they kept writing to me with “We fucked up. Here’s a cheque for what we failed to give back”. “We fucked up again” etc.
I’m now in the middle of trying to wrangle my money back from another, similar bunch of twunts who are hiding behind covid.
Trying to remember the name of my Dad’s “wealth managers” in the 80s. Something like (but not) Caterham. I think they were once a very respectable pedestrian firm but got taken over by Barclays (I think). Absolutely hopeless. Again I always got the impression I was talking to the temp.
Twats, the lot of 'em.
