Home improvements feedback
Illustrative examples written by Pickwise to show the kind of feedback we ask for. They are not verified customer reviews.
I had no idea what a U-value was before reading the guides. Ended up asking better questions and the second quote came back £1,400 lower for the same spec.
Straightforward form, no phone call needed to get started. Two companies rang, one was clearly better organised, and I didn't feel pushed either way.
The section on export tariffs and battery payback was the bit nobody had explained to me. Made the sales visit far less intimidating.
Useful to see what was supply-only versus fitted before comparing. Saved us assuming two quotes were the same when they really weren't.
Asked about tanking and who certifies the electrics, exactly as suggested. One company had no answer, which told me everything.
