GS Windows - Could'nt even get a quotation right
I went to GS Windows (and some other companies) for quotes for a conservatory. A salesman/surveyor turned up (Keith), who measured up and discussed what we wanted making notes on an A4 pad...all sounded fine, but we then had to wait for a builder to turn up (sub-contractor) to look at what needed doing for the base/dwarf wall and 3/4 wall on one side.
We then had to chase the Salesman to get the quote, which when it arrived was wrong. wrong size of conservatory, missed the 3/4 wall out with obscure lights completely, making is a 600mm dwarf wall, and the specification for the footings was incomplete and lacked detail on insulation size/type and depth of concrete strip foundations etc...etc...
Not surprisingly we did not give GS Windows the work, and I sent a polite email to all three companies who submitted quotes but were not getting the work, thanking them for the quotes etc but the work had gone to another company - which is i though the least I could do so they knew, rather than not respond at all. I was amazed to receive an acerbic response fro Keith, who had thought I had address the email to him under the name of another company, as he had simply failed to read to whom the email was sent - three companies - and his email address (not a GS Windows email address, but a private email address on his business card), was not first in the names of the three addressees...
Overall, not a great experience, and speaking as a retired Civil Engineer, far from professional. The quotation for both the civil works and the conservatory was a mess, both incorrect and sloppy attention paid to detail... Based on my experience I would not recommend this company to anyone wanting a new conservatory built.
