Buying Double Glazing in Bournemouth? Check to See if the Company Has Gone Bankrupt in the past First
Bournemouth in the UK has a whole host of double glazing companies vying for the attention of home owners. But, as though to prove that choice is not always a good thing for the consumer, the array of companies to choose from has lead some Bournemouth residents feeling overwhelmed when it comes to actually choosing the company.
For legal reasons, we can’t name names here, but there are several ongoing legal claims going on against companies from the Bournemouth area, who have either gone bust or have claimed to have gone bust and changed their name, taking deposits or leaving second rate work in their path.
So the question that home owners are asking is, do I go with a small, local company, who may or may not outlive the products guarantee, or do I go with a large company who operates nationwide but who might not have that personal touch?
There are resources on the web to help. Check this list of double glazing companies who have gone bankrupt and check to see whether a firm with a similar name to the one your getting your quote from isn’t on there. If they are, they may be a company who have changed their name, for example from G Handerson and Sons to Gary Handerson Windows. There have been countless cases of this kind of thing happening in Bournemouth so be weary.
