Everest Windows- say this to some people and they get animated- they say how expensive they are, how pushy their salesmen are and how they would never use them.
Some people even mention Ted Moult! (do you remember him with his feather sitting next to a window in the highest pub in England (the Tan Hill) ?? I do!
I don't like to pre-judge and when I hear people slagging companies off I have to make my own mind up...so when I decided to get double glazing, I got several quotations- the other companies were less expensive but they insisted on doing Everest down. The Everest salesman did not mention any other company at all- he just got down to measuring up, putting the details onto some graph paper and giving me a quotation.
The cheaper firms lost their sales that day! I had 15 windows (and they were mostly big ones) fitted about 10 years ago, for a very good price (about £6000). Yes, it seemed fairly expensive then, but I have never regretted it. I have never had a minute's trouble with the windows or the frames, and people that I have known who had their windows fitted after mine have had problems with "blown" sealed units- I have had none of this. The frames are still white and not discoloured.
The windows arrived within 8 weeks of ordering.
The people who came to fit the windows were excellent. They brought the equipment, took out the old windows and removed the rubbish, fitted the new windows and then cleaned up, leaving no mess whatsoever..they even had their own hoover with them! there was some plastering necessary and this was done with no fuss or mess. I can't speak highly enough of these craftsmen.
So when I came round to wanting to do the last few of my windows, I had no hesitation in calling Everest. I have still got the number of the sales office lady who phones from time to time to see if there's anything that I need. They are very good on after sales service and do look after their customer base (good business sense after all!) .She put me in touch with their local rep - my previous one had retired by now. That was a shame becasue he was very good!
Anyway, the rep called and we arranged for him to come and measure up to give me a quotation. He was round the next day. (nothing like sales figures driving your salary, is there?) This time he just had to enter the details onto his laptop and a price awas calculated for him, together with some nice pictures of how the window would look. He made an effort to keep the price down by asking whether I wanted opening windows or not and where I didn't he said that there would be ventilation anyway as it is built in to non-openers.
The windows will be ready within 6 weeks, and I got some good discount, (35%) being an exiting customer. I am having a HUGE window replaced this time along with 3 other biggish windows, and although I know that Everest are not the cheapest on the market, I'm happy that if I ever have anything to ask or fix they will be there. They also do interest free credit now and this came as a nice surprise as I was preparing to pay another way. I'd rather have the money in my bank than theirs!!
The job will take a day- and 2 men will come round. They do fitting on Saturday as well and this is very handy if you want to be there when they fit your new windows but work dutring the week.
Would I recommend Everest? YES!!!If you want the best that lasts a long time then buy from them!! You will not be sorry.
