A reputable window or door firm gives you a written, itemised quote you can take away and compare against others. - Never pay the full price up front; a modest deposit with the balance on completion is normal. Ask what deposit protection or insurance-backed guarantee you get if the firm stops trading before fitting. - Get the specification in writing (frame material, the glazing units and their energy rating, and any trickle vents) so you can check you got what you paid for. - Replacement windows and external doors must be signed off as meeting building regulations. Use an installer registered with FENSA or CERTASS so they self-certify the work and give you the certificate you'll need when you sell. - Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact. ## Contact - Phone: 01462 816444 - Website: https://www.windowsbychoice.co.uk --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/windows-by-choice-ltd Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source, with evidence held from 3 named public sources.
