Always wondered why every window is UPVC yet the front door and window beside it are still wood.
The front door anyway is the last of the previous “Bodget owner” efforts using filler for the return metal recess for where the yale lock goes in as it never fitted properly. Even the letter box hole
was so messed up I had a job replacing the rear draft flap
So this year instead of a proper holiday a new composit UPVC front door and new UVC widow at the same time. on order
So out with wooden door wooden window frame and all framework and in with the new which should keep the house warmer as well.
had a couple of quotes and took one that the company had done work for us before. the other quote from a well established local company Sue and I thought odd. When you ask for a quote, in this case a new porch as alternative to new door, the company quoted for the porch excluding the side wall brickwork and foundations.
Now I would expect a quote for the whole job not part of leaving the company to add whatever they wanted to the cost. Needless to say they never will hear from us and they have lost out on a job.
Oh just had a card from a company doing driveways showing brick blocks. They won’t get much business if the person who put it through our letter box didn’t bother to look down and see they were already walking on one. Talk about being thick as SH*T !
Had the same sort of thing happen when we bought a new house, the whole estate was double glazed .A cold caller could not understand why no one was interested in double glazing until Sue said have you looked at the windows on this estate.
You just could not make this up how stupid some firms and people can be
