I have a sales person coming on Monday from a very well known company,does anyone have any idea on the cost of glazing a four bedroom house with two French doors?
How long can I expect him to stay and how can I get rid if he overstays?
I am recently widowed,so will be alone

I am in Midlands and recently had two of my B2L houses glazed. One was a three bedroom property double glazed with French door into garden and cost £4k. I went with small local company and am very pleased with job they did. I also had a two bedroom property glazed and new front door and cost me £3,200. For a four bed and two French door I would expect to pay iro £5,500. I am sure you can get a good job for this so I would not pay more unless you are in London or expensive area. If in North you may expect to pay less. As soon as person arrives make it clear you will be having three quotes and so will let them know if you decide to go with them. I found quotes form large well known company over twice as expensive so do get at least one quote from a smaller local firm.

If you think about getting new blinds for your windows be very careful. We have just had an unfortunate experience with a high pressure salesman from a National firm beginning with S. Even after he had left and we had gone shopping the firm phoned us in the supermarket and were very aggressive. I would never buy anything from that firm after their behaviour. they behaved exactly like double glazing salespeople, very high pressure.

WE have just has triple glazing in the living room which has large ceiling to floor windows with a Fench window..
We love it, and the room remains cool even in very hot weather. That was something we didn't know about, but
the door is heavy and opening and shutting it is not as esay as it used to be- but possible. We just have to get used to it.

The patio doors are triple glazed here and the heat from them is unbearable, I had to get heavy curtains and fly screens so I can leave them open this weather

Whose mentioned triple glazing?

The OP mentioned triple glazing in the title.

I have only experience triple glazing in Finland, where it is more of a necessity in the winter.
