TJH12   10 #1 Posted August 14, 2014 Hi all  Had a look through previous threads but they're all a bit old.  Was just wondering if anyone had bought a composite door from Global Windows?  What was the price like compared to other places and was the service good?  I noticed they had a buy now pay later offer on which is quite tempting.  Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
biotechpete   10 #2 Posted August 14, 2014 It's not normally a good idea to get these credit deals from the big companies. They inflate the prices to make up the difference.  Get a quote from a reputable local company first, like Sheffield window centre, then you're armed with a comparison should you get the hard sell from Global (I've no personal experience of global but other national window companies tactics are well documented).

TJH12 Â Â 10 #3 Posted August 14, 2014 Thanks biotechpete, that makes total sense! Â I'll get a few quotes first and then see how their buy now pay later compares. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

TJH12   10 #6 Posted October 4, 2014 Hi all  Well I got a few more quotes and they vary by £300 which seems a lot on something of this value.  Anyone had a composite door fitted recently and can make a recommendation?  Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Nyx   10 #9 Posted October 22, 2014 I've had two composite doors fitted in the last three months. First one was from the external door company which although was OK I wouldn't use again. The address of the company keeps changing I've noticed, its gone from Penistone Rd, to Carver St to Limestone Cottage Lane.  For the second identical door which was a lot cheaper I used Carl Haddock Installations from Thornbridge Drive in Frecheville. Wish I'd known he did composites before I had the first one fitted, he also adjusted the first door for me which had started to catch a bit. I can recommend him, did a great job!

I haven't used them personally but know of others that have and haven't had any problems, not necessarily the cheapest but you get what you pay for, the cheapest isn't always the best way to go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Cyclone   10 #11 Posted October 27, 2014 I had one fitted recently from here  http://www.theexternaldoorcompany.co.uk/  I'm pretty pleased with the door and the work and the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Brilliant workmanship good price and you dont pay till job done and sign satisfaction note./ 10 years guarantee and a telephone call a few weeks later to see if everything okay / Highly recomended by me / Well don lads:hihi: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
