Kinda short version …………

National DG company phone regarding new soffits and gutters , Right says I send someone round to give me a quote

Sales guy calls last night , i go round the property helping him measure up, back into the house , sales guy works out the price , on saying i will speak to the missus tonight when she gets home to discuss it , sales guy phones his manager whom in return wants to speak to me.
He starts getting a bit lippy saying that this is a special price event they are having and why his company prefer husband and wife to be together so that a decision can be made there and then , basically he was starting to me off with his attitude ( At this point the sales guy has never mentioned the quote to his manager).

So i ended up telling the manager on the phone the decision was No since he was in such a hurry for a decision and also due to his manner on the phone ……..

Oh and the quote … the sales guy told me with a straight face …..

£30,250.00 for frigging soffitts and guttering made out of PVC , defo in the wrong business if thats what they charge

buckingham palace got quoted less so your house must be bigger...

That's what happens when you have a FFRR parked outside.

I got quoted £3,500 just to do the garage. It's plastic FFS!
So I just rubbed the wood down and painted it in a day.

The FF's still in the dealership waiting for a calliper (thats a week now) , thank f k it wasn't here…..

hmmm. I've just booked to have mine done. FUll house and garage.

Initial quote was £14k or there abouts. I;m having it all done and a couple of doors swapped around (long story) but I signed up for the whole lot £7,800.!

This is also the complete renew rather than upvc "over capping" that some cowboys do. It's the same company that did my windows and doors (24 windows and 7 doors) a couple of years ago so I know them to be good. Ash

Hi mate - It's Alpine in Hutton (Brentwood). I think they are called Alpine Home Improvements now but used to be called Alpine windows.

Pretty good service as long as you haggle them down on price. I think they could do with the business as well. Ash

Thanks, I'm near Chelmsford so that's even closer.

Thought so - I bought your load liner so have been round to your place (unless you've moved).!! I'm only up the road in Tiptree Ash

So what was your overall meterage then if you don't mind me asking for that price ..

Well I don't know exactly but I think he mentioned something like 130m.??

Does that sound right??? I have the surveyor coming tomorrow so can verify the meterage after he's done his bit I guess. Ash

Well, that donkey that came out to me must have got his figures wrong because i am only 310 metres and i cannot see it being the amount he quoted if you are £7,800 for yours

And it was based on the same as yours , old soffitts and guttering and drain pipes removed and replaced with all new UPVC stuff .

One thing they could not do was to replace my outside downlighters that are fitted into the soffitts ………

Anyhow got a courtesy call back from them this morning , told them it was soffitts and guttering i wanted to buy , not the frigging company ...
