I have recently phoned various window companies for a quote to replace a window with french doors. The exact window width is 1240 mms. I have one quote for €2500 from a well known window company. I then had a quote from a smaller local company for €1950, the same salesman however said that I would be cheaper just buying the windows from the company and he would get the fitter to fit in his free time on a Saturday as a nixer and that he would phone back with a new price which should be significantly cheaper than €1950. He phoned me back with a quote of €1900, just 50 euro cheaper than original quote saying that he underquoted to start with. I have since had another quote of €1800 from another company. Should I play them off each other or should I steer clear of this salesman. I know of work done by all three companies and all have had no complaints but i want the best price too but I am annoyed that this salesman expects me to go with a nixer for a reduction of fifty quid. What should I do next?

Thanks pee for your reply. Did you by any chance receive a break down for your costs and do you know what the french doors cost on their own, did you shop around for prices?
Does changing from the window to the doors require a steel girder to be fitted or is there enuf support there already?
The lintels that are already in place for the existing window are all the support that is required for the change to patio/french doors.
Good Luck
