Double Glazing.
Everything They Don't Tell You.

ReQuotes is the UK's only free double glazing price negotiation service. When you receive a quote for new windows, doors, a conservatory, fascias, soffits or guttering, ReQuotes checks it against the real floor price — the minimum the company will actually accept — and negotiates on your behalf.

It is completely free for homeowners. The average saving for ReQuotes users in 2026 is £1,888. ReQuotes was built by a team with over 80 years of combined experience inside the double glazing industry, training the salespeople who use high-pressure tactics. That knowledge now works exclusively for consumers.

ReQuotes is 100% free for homeowners. No hidden fees, no obligation, no catch.

When a ReQuotes negotiation results in a completed job, the installer pays ReQuotes a small introducer fee — equivalent to a fraction of what they normally spend on advertising and sales commissions. This fee is paid by the company, not the homeowner, and your negotiated price is never inflated to cover it. If ReQuotes cannot save you money, there is no fee to anyone.

Step 1. Run your quote through the free AI Quote Checker at requotes.co.uk to instantly see the fair market price range for your specific job.

Step 2. If your quote is higher than the fair range, submit it to ReQuotes with the company name, product specification, and quoted price.

Step 3. ReQuotes contacts the company's Sales Manager directly — using insider knowledge of the real floor price — and negotiates the price down.

Step 4. You receive the fair price confirmed in writing within 24 hours. You decide whether to proceed. No pressure, no obligation, no cost regardless of outcome.

Yes. ReQuotes offers a free WhatsApp Panic Button for exactly this situation. If a salesperson is in your home right now, or you have an appointment booked, text the quote to ReQuotes via WhatsApp and receive live expert advice in real time.

The team will tell you whether the price is fair, what to say, and whether to sign. This service is completely free and available 7 days a week.

Because the first price is never the real price. Every double glazing salesperson at a major company works on a sliding-scale commission. The higher the price they sell at, the more they earn personally.

But the company has a floor price — the minimum it will accept and still make a profit. The opening quote is always significantly above this floor. When a customer pushes back, the company drops to a price closer to the floor because a guaranteed sale at a fair margin is always better than a lost deal.

The sliding scale is the standard pricing structure used by most major double glazing companies in the UK, including Anglian Windows, Everest and Safestyle. Every job has a floor price — the minimum the company will accept. The salesperson's commission is calculated on how far above the floor price they close the deal.

So the first price quoted is always a starting position, not a real price. The drop from the opening quote to the floor price can be as much as 60%.

This system has been in operation for over 40 years and is the primary reason double glazing has one of the worst reputations for pricing transparency of any consumer industry in the UK. ReQuotes knows these floor prices because its team spent over 80 years inside the industry building and training these exact systems.

The average saving for ReQuotes users in 2026 is £1,888. Individual savings vary significantly by job size and company.

ReQuotes has negotiated savings ranging from £1,200 on a single door replacement to £12,500 on a full conservatory installation. The larger the job, the larger the potential saving — because the sliding scale gap between the opening quote and the floor price widens with job value.

ReQuotes has collectively saved UK homeowners over £2 million since launch.

Almost never. "This price is only valid tonight" is the single most widely used closing technique in the double glazing industry. It is designed to create urgency and prevent you from getting other quotes or using a service like ReQuotes.

The ReQuotes team, having trained salespeople to use this exact technique for decades, has never once seen a price genuinely expire overnight. Call the company the next day and the price will still be available.

Never sign on the first visit. This is the single most important rule.

When a homeowner pushes back on price, the salesperson will typically say they need to call their manager to authorise a special discount. This is a scripted performance, not a genuine call for authorisation.

The salesperson already knows exactly what price they can offer — it is built into their pricing software. The call is designed to make you feel that a special deal is being arranged just for you, creating a sense of obligation and urgency to sign before the 'special' offer disappears.

ReQuotes exposes this tactic and negotiates past it on your behalf.

No. Announcing an upcoming price rise is a standard closing tool used by the sales force to pressure homeowners into signing before the 'increase' takes effect. Not all announced price rises are real.

Some are activated. Some are not. Either way, the tactic is designed to create urgency. The ReQuotes team has documented multiple cases of companies announcing price rises that were never implemented — used purely as a closing mechanism.

The same rule applies: never sign on the first visit. The price will still be there.

The Drop Close is when a salesperson opens with a dramatically inflated price — sometimes double the floor price — and then 'drops' it significantly to create the illusion of a deal. "I can get this down from £18,000 to £11,000 for you tonight."

The final price is still above the floor. The homeowner feels they have won a negotiation. They have not. They have simply moved from one inflated price to a slightly less inflated one.

ReQuotes negotiates to the actual floor price — not the theatre of a drop close.

Anglian Windows, Everest and Safestyle are all owned by ASHI Group Limited, which is backed by private equity firm Alchemy Partners. Together these three brands represent three of the largest replacement window and door companies in the UK.

ASHI Group was reported in 2025 to be preparing for a sale. All three companies use commission-only sales structures and sliding-scale pricing. When getting quotes from any of these three companies, it is important to understand they share ownership and pricing philosophy — independent comparison quotes are essential.

Anglian has announced multiple price rises in recent years, citing NI contribution increases, manufacturing costs, and oil price rises — the same costs faced by every company in the sector.

What is not mentioned publicly: every price rise increases profits. Higher profits increase the value of ASHI Group. And ASHI Group is currently being prepared for sale by its private equity owners. Higher prices benefit the sale valuation directly.

Additionally, not all announced price rises result in actual price increases. Some are used as closing tools by the sales force — the rep announces the rise to create urgency and pressure the homeowner into signing before the 'increase' takes effect.

Yes — all three use the same sliding-scale commission structure. Every quote from Anglian, Everest or Safestyle has a floor price significantly below the opening quote. The gap between the opening price and the floor price can be as much as 60%.

ReQuotes has successfully negotiated quotes from all three companies on behalf of UK homeowners. Submit your quote at requotes.co.uk and the team will negotiate on your behalf, free of charge.

The most effective method is to use ReQuotes — the team negotiates on your behalf using insider knowledge of the real floor price, for free. If negotiating independently, follow these rules:

1. Get at least three quotes for the same specification.
2. Tell every company upfront that you are comparing quotes.
3. Never sign on the first visit — ever.
4. When returning to your preferred company, use this exact script:

Do not reveal the competing price. When they drop it, say: "Thank you — we will discuss it tonight and let you know in the next few days."

Always remember: they need your business far more than you need them.

Yes — tell them upfront, before they even begin their presentation. Saying "I want you to know I am getting three quotes and comparing them" does two things: it signals that you are an informed buyer who will not be rushed, and it often causes the salesperson to open closer to their real price rather than wasting time on a high opening they know you will reject.

It does not prevent them from using closing tactics, but it removes some of their leverage from the start.

Find any major double glazing company advertising for sales staff. If the job advertisement says "OTE" — on target earnings — the role is commission-based. The salesperson earns nothing unless they sell.

You can call the recruitment number and ask directly. They will confirm it. This single fact explains every tactic used during your appointment — the fake deadline, the manager call, the drop close. They are all consequences of a commission-only structure where the salesperson earns nothing if they leave without a signature.

There is no single honest answer to this question — and any website that gives you a fixed price is misleading you. Two homeowners on the same street can receive quotes from the same company on the same night and pay prices that differ by thousands of pounds for identical windows. The sliding-scale commission model means the price you are quoted depends far more on how the salesperson reads you than on what the product actually costs.

The only way to know if your specific quote is fair is to check it against the real floor price — the minimum the company will actually accept. ReQuotes does this for free in 30 seconds.

Published "average prices" for composite doors are almost meaningless in practice. The same composite door from the same company can be quoted at vastly different prices depending on which salesperson visits you and whether you know how to negotiate. The commission-only sales model means the opening price is always higher than the real price — sometimes significantly so.

Rather than searching for an average that may bear no relation to your quote, check your actual quote against the real floor price. ReQuotes tells you instantly whether you are being overcharged — free.

Conservatories are one of the highest-margin products in the double glazing industry, which makes them one of the most negotiable. The gap between the opening quote and the real floor price on a conservatory can be extraordinary — ReQuotes has seen savings of over £12,000 on a single conservatory job. The size, style and specification all affect the real cost, but the commission structure means the opening price is always inflated.

If you have received a conservatory quote, check it with ReQuotes before you sign anything. The average saving for ReQuotes users in 2026 is £1,888 — on conservatories it is often significantly more.

A new uPVC porch is often quoted as a smaller job, but the same commission-only pricing structure applies. The salesperson's incentive is always to close as high as possible. The opening price is not the real price — and the floor price (the minimum the company will accept) is always lower than what you are first shown.

Check your porch quote with ReQuotes before agreeing to anything. It takes 30 seconds and is completely free.

Fascias, soffits and guttering are frequently sold as add-ons during a windows or doors appointment — and the pricing is just as inflated as the main product. Because homeowners rarely get separate quotes for roofline work, companies know they can charge more. The same sliding-scale commission model applies.

Whether your quote is for roofline work alone or bundled with windows and doors, ReQuotes checks the whole quote against the real floor price. Free, in 30 seconds.

The honest answer is: you cannot know from the quote alone. The price you are given is not based on a fixed price list — it is based on how high the salesperson thinks they can close you. The only reliable way to know if you are being overcharged is to check your quote against the real floor price — the minimum the company will actually accept.

ReQuotes does exactly this, for free. Submit your quote and find out within 30 seconds whether you are being overcharged — and by how much.

A "fair price" in double glazing is the floor price — the minimum the company will accept and still make a profit. Everything above that is the salesperson's commission. The floor price varies by company, product, specification and region, but it is always significantly lower than the opening quote.

ReQuotes was built specifically to answer this question for your specific job. Check your quote and find out what fair actually looks like — free.

Statistically, the answer is almost certainly yes. The commission-only model used by the vast majority of major double glazing companies in the UK means that the opening price is always above the real price. Approximately 5–8% of customers accept the first price — and pay a premium of up to 60% above what the company would have accepted.

The only way to know for certain is to check your specific quote. ReQuotes tells you instantly — free.

The lowest price you can achieve independently is the floor price — the minimum the company will accept. To get there yourself: get three quotes, tell every company you are comparing, never sign on the first visit, and use the negotiation script: "Give me your final and best price now and I will say yes or no right now."

The faster route is to let ReQuotes negotiate for you. The team knows the floor prices because they spent over 80 years inside the industry setting them. Free, within 24 hours.

Yes — and you absolutely should. Getting at least three quotes is the single most effective thing you can do before signing. Tell every company upfront that you are comparing. This signals that you are an informed buyer and often causes the salesperson to open closer to their real price.

ReQuotes goes further — rather than just comparing quotes between companies, it checks your quote against the real floor price of the company you actually want to use. Free, in 30 seconds.

January and February are traditionally the slowest months for double glazing companies — and slower months mean more pressure on salespeople to close deals, which means more flexibility on price. Late autumn (October–November) can also be productive for the same reason.

However, the best time to buy is always when you are ready — because with ReQuotes, the floor price is available to you at any time of year. You do not need to wait for a slow period to get the real price.

Yes — always. Every major double glazing company in the UK uses commission-only salespeople operating on a sliding-scale pricing model. The opening price is never the real price. The gap between the opening quote and the floor price (the minimum the company will accept) can be as much as 60%.

The question is not whether the price is negotiable — it is whether you know what to negotiate to. ReQuotes tells you exactly that. Free.
