Rude and ignore/refuse to answer questions
Avoid this company and their rude and unprofessional staff. They either will ignore your questions about their products, give you the wrong quote, or respond in a rude and dismissive way.
I requested a quote several weeks ago. They asked for photos and sizes, which I provided (admittedly it took me a few days to sort out, as I was away). I asked for light oak finish, gold fittings, etc., and about prices for double-glazed, triple-glazed, and soundproof (acoustic) glass. I also asked about the A-rating and UV-rating of the windows/doors, all of which are vitally important, given the large expense involved and the fact that different A-ratings and UV-raitngs for windows and doors will significantly affect their ability to hold heat and keep out the cold (even more important with the current energy crisis).
A week later I received a quote for generic white windows, inside and out, without any of the features or fixings I asked for. All, and I mean all, of my questions were completely ignored.
I responded pointing this out and was sent a revised quote with the correct features, but most of my questions were still ignored. I asked again about the UV-rating of one of the glass options, clarification on pricing, and what the lead time was. All normal, reasonable questions that all other window/door providers were more than willing and able to answer (without having to request multiple times).
Brenda replied curtly: "I don't thing we are the best company for you so I think you shpuld go with one of the other prices you got"
I was gobsmacked at this rude, dismissive response. No answers to my questions yet again. I told her that her message was very rude, but received no reply or apology.
Quite frankly, it's madness that someone would tell you to go elsewhere rather than answer questions about their product. The customer can decide if it doesn't work for them, based on the information they get.
Suffice it to say, I won't be going with Q Windows based solely on how rude and dismissive they have been, particularly Brenda. I'll also be sharing my experience widely and advising people I know to go with a different company. If Q Windows treat basic questions about their product as a chore, or treat their customers as a burden, then you can only imagine how hard it would be to get any problems with fittings, etc. fixed.
Maybe their windows/doors are good. Maybe the people fitting them are good. But how can you even know if they treat asking questions like a crime? And why should anyone forking over thousands be treated so poorly? Respectul communication should be the bare minimum with any company.
There are really only three reasons why someone in a supposedly professional company would ignore and refuse to answer your questions: 1) they don't know their product; 2) they're hiding something; or 3) they don't care about you or their job and can't be bothered to get you the information.
Any of these are bad, and why Q Windows are best avoided.
