Vulcan Windows - atrocious!!

Complaint Background:
Last July we started to obtain an estimate for a small extension - not too much you may think, after 4 different estimates, it is now TWICE the price that it started!! And they are still not wanting to do it as they have to have inspections by the building inspector. All sorts of excuses have been used, from forgetting to price in the roof, to it having too much glass in - should have known this if the guy is a proper surveyor!! Then there is too much work having to move the soil pipe, thought that was part of building work???
They also give you a date to start work, and then never show up, oops, they had forgotton to find out about building regs....
However, they do CONTINUE to call up to see if we want more work done - they haven't even done the original job!!
CRAP, CRAP, CRAP!!!
I would not recommend Vulcan Windows in Hull, and based on comments from other customers, I don't think that they would either! Missed dates, missed roof's, wrong estimates/quotes are just the tip of the iceberg. After calling the trading standards service, we could force them to use the second estimate, which we signed up to, but they are not likely to turn up for that either - better just to warn everyone to stay away as far as possible!

Just over 7 years ago we moved into a house on the Persimmon Driffield site and all the windows were made for this development by Vulcan Windows.. Made is a bit of an over rated comment.
Get me wrong but aren't Double Glazed windows supposed to keep noise out and heat in, well the windows that were thrown into these houses DO NOT do either of these, in fact the other day I was stood right outside the kitchen window and was having a full blown low key conversation with my wife, plus with ALL the windows and doors closed, we can actually hear children playing in the next cul de sac and at the top end of our street, which is about 75/100 feet long..
In places the windows have an inch of sealant around them to keep them in and supposedly the cold out... yeah right, the glass doesn't even fit the frames in some of them properly. They were supposedly (again) fitted to a profile made by Persimmon but a vast majority of the development site are fitted like this..
After only seven (7) years, the windows (not to mention the patio doors, i wont go there as I haven't enough time) go a manky colour, and this IS NOT because they are not cleaned, as they are on a regular basis.
God only knows why windows are made in bulk demand, because they are cheap and nasty... If I had the money to replace this load of rubbish, then I would have done so the first day after moving in, after we had the intensive talks with the Managing Director of Vulcan at the time.

I had to rate this to post it but believe me, they aren't even worth the one star.
