Choosing new windows is a big decision. You want a supplier you can trust, products that perform, and an installation that runs smoothly. With so many names in the market, it can feel overwhelming. This guide walks you through how to compare suppliers, what to ask before you buy, and how to read customer reviews with a critical eye. You will also find a balanced take on major national brands like Anglian and Everest, plus why a local specialist like Clearview 2000 often gives you the best all round value and service.

Who is the best company to buy windows from?

The best company is the one that delivers high quality products, expert installation, and dependable aftercare, all at a fair price. That might sound simple, but it depends on your home, your budget, and how involved you want your installer to be. A good supplier will:

• Offer proven, energy efficient windows with clear ratings
• Provide honest, written quotations with no pressure selling
• Survey properly and explain the installation plan
• Show evidence of tidy, punctual and professional fitting teams
• Back everything with a solid guarantee and real aftercare.

National brands can be a safe choice for product range and brand recognition. Local, well reviewed installers often outshine on service, communication, value, and flexibility.

Anglian vs Everest vs Clearview 2000, which is better?

Both Anglian and Everest are long standing national names with broad ranges and strong warranties. You will find good energy ratings, multiple frame options, and an established process. The choice between them often comes down to your local branch, the surveyor you meet, and the specific quote you receive. Here is how to weigh them:

• Product quality, both offer high performing double and triple glazing with modern security
• Lead times, these can vary by region and season
• Price and transparency, ask for a detailed, itemised quote
• Fitting teams, check local reviews for your area, since the installer experience is what you will remember
• Aftercare, confirm how warranty claims are handled and response times.

In many cases, a trusted local specialist, like Clearview 2000, competes closely on specification while offering a more personal service. If you want a friendly, accountable team who keeps you updated from quote to final clean up, a local company like Clearview 2000 is worth shortlisting.

How to choose a reliable window installer

Focus on the three pillars, specification, installation, and service.

• Specification: ask for energy ratings, glass options, and security standards in writing. Confirm U values, spacer bars, and frame material.
• Installation: the best products will underperform if fitted poorly. Ask who will do the work, how they protect your home, and how long it will take.
• Service: look for clear communication, tidy working practices, and a robust guarantee. Ask what happens if something needs adjustment after fitting.

Here is a simple three step plan.

1. Shortlist three companies: Pick a national brand and two local installers with excellent recent reviews. Look for consistent praise for punctuality, tidiness, and follow up support, just like us.
2. Compare like for like quotes: Ask each company for the same window styles, glass spec, hardware, trims, and making good. Insist on itemised pricing, timelines, and warranty terms.
3. Visit or call: A quick call will tell you a lot about service. Better yet, visit a showroom by appointment if possible. Clearview 2000’s showroom is now open. Discuss previous projects similar to yours and request references or photos.

Questions to ask before you sign

• What exact frame system and glazing are you supplying, with which energy rating?
• Are the fitters employed or subcontracted, and who will manage them on the day?
• What is included in making good – trims, plaster, and disposal of old frames?
• How will you protect floors and furniture?
• What is the expected lead time and installation schedule?
• What guarantee do I receive on products and installation, and how are issues handled?

Write the answers down and keep them with your quote. Clear, written details prevent misunderstandings and give you confidence.

The role of reviews and testimonials

Reviews are your shortcut to the installer experience. Look for specific details in recent reviews, such as names of fitters, punctuality, cleanliness, and how the company handled minor snags. Consistency matters more than one perfect score. Do not ignore how a company responds to the odd negative review. Professional, prompt replies show accountability.

At Clearview 2000, customers frequently highlight our customer service, quality workmanship and regular updates. You can see the same names come up again and again in our testimonials, which is a good sign of a stable, skilled team.

Final tips to get the best result

• Prioritise installation quality, it is as important as the window itself
• Keep scope consistent across quotes so you can compare fairly
• Book early if you are timing around building work or a sale
• Ask about small details like trickle vents, cills, and handle finishes
• Keep a snag list during the fit, and walk through it with the team before they leave.
