I take it you are pleased with them Stuy?

Yeah, they seem good quality windows and doors, and we certainly felt the difference over the winter!

They took all the old windows and doors away, left no mess and fitted a cat flap I supplied for nothing whilst they did the job - took them about a day and a half to do the whole house.

The doors did drop a little, but I gave them a call and they came out later in the week and adjusted them smile

Remember that if you invite them round for a sales pitch and sign a contract you don't get the cooling off period that you would if would from a "cold called" or doorstep sale.

I used wholesale windows in the end,got a quote from a few out of the local paper,they were not the cheapest,sales rep was great not pushy like some.

I got quite a few quotes and got the speil from lots of others before - I think he was here for about 45mins, but most of that was selecting what doors / window types I wanted.

They beat my best quote, by £150.

Yes you do - the law changed in 2008. It no longer matters if the trader cold called or was invited by the home owner. Whether somebody has a 7 day cooling off period depends on where the contract is concluded.

If the contract is concluded at your home (or your place of work) you do get a statutory 7 day cooling off period.

If a trader visits your home (invited or not), measures up and later sends a quote in the post/email/telephone, you don't get a statutory 7 day cooling off period.

It is important to remember that the trader must give you a written notice of your right to cancel at the time the contract is concluded. If they don't, the contract is deemed to be 'unenforceable' in the eyes of the law.
