replacent windows patio doors

Hi

Just seen this.

Are you still looking?

If so I have the perfect company for you.

CARPINTERIA DE ALUMINIO PASCUAL Y CUENCA S.L.If you know the Cocentaina/Alcoi road, dual carriageway.  Head in towards Alcoi after Cocentaina Sur, past Decathlon. 500m one of those funny U-Turn roundabout with the Bomberos on the left. Do a U-Turn and head up the industrial side road, PC is about 100m up after Boss Griff.I highly recommend them [ask for Juan - "Windows Juan" is my neighbour and replaced all my single pane windows with triple glazed German stuff - amazing and not expensive].Apologies the text/bold/italics has gone ballistic and I cant seem to correct it lol
Cheers

Mqx, Thanks for that will be in touch mid late March. Chris

Hi Chris

Happy to help.

When I bought my house all the windows were single pane and all the window frames leaked [as I found out when I leapt out of bed into our new swimming pool inside the Master Bedroom].

I hade the lot replaced - 13 windows I think + 2 doors - the front door which is huge and the Granny Room door.  All units were wood finish UPVC construction, triple glazed, German built, open/tilt, lockable handles.  All windows with the exception of the Kitchen a protected by UPVC shutters which push out and are retained in the open position by wall-mounted catches or close and are secured by a rotating handle/catch & swivel lock [apparently you do not put shutters on kitchens].  All window/shutter handles are colour coordinated.  The Granny room door has a cantilever white PVC  covered metal concertina security shutter which is also lockable [separate keys to the door].  The Front door is one massive and wide solid UPVC block which arrives with standard keys but then I was issued with bespoke keys for that door only  [4 sets]. Very smooth closing. 

I think they took 3 days in total, cutting out the old windows, installing new, sealing etc.  Then 2 - 3 days later they came back and I gave them a list of "defects" which I had observed [mainly cosmetic - too much sealant, not enough sealant etc] and they rectified everything without complaint.

I checked with a friend in UK who had 3 windows replaced and it cost him more!  Oi did Larf ;-0

Hi Max,

Remember to ask for "Windows Juan" big beefy bloke - Biker [Harley Davidson], he and his family are my neighbours in the Sierra Serreta.

His English is limited [like my Spanish] but he is a very friendly bloke and his family are lovely ;-)

No worries about timing. If you want the job done March, might be better to contact about now, get them to come out and measure, etimate etc.  I say this because the windows are manufactured in Germany and Pascal Cuenta will not order until you put down a deposit  [I thinks its 1/3rd].  I went through several rewrites as out specifications changed, which took 4 - 6 visits.  And I think post-deposit about two weeks [but I can check that if you want as I have Windows Juans wattsapp number?

Where are you by the way, just for his information.  The windows will arrive on the back of a flatbed truck, so hopefully you have plenty of parking lol

Eh Bah Gum 

Live in France, but we have to go UK next week then  up to Spain bit messy but covid cocked things up a bit .also internet dropped at friends...  Will be more organised next time

Thanks again Max

;-)  

My ex-wife is French - one reason for not moving there.

Love the French people, like the Spanish, warm and inviting, but hate the French politics.

Yeah covid cocked it up for me as well.  I was tuck in my "Cortijo" [Old Almond Farm] for over 2 years. Loved every second ;-)  It has 5 acres of almond, olive, walnut, pear, plum and apple. On a mountain, looking out over mountains, with a pool and a healthy stash of wine and beer.  Whats to complain ;-)  My Partner [Chrissie] got stuck here for 4 months during 2020.  We kept busy, had "Beer O'Clock every day at 4pm, followed by G&T O'Clock at 5pm and nibbles, wine and dinner in the sun, peace and quiet, just the rustling of the mountain conifers ;-)

We dont have internet at the house.  We were then both with Virgin.  I had a 12GB per month deal and did all my internet on my phone.  Now you have to watch for the roaming charges but I still think that only applies to the BT Family of companies [BT, EE, Vodafone].  Basically they are trying the market - nobody else has taken it up, so by the end f the year roaming charges will be binned.

Enjoy wet France ;-)

We have escaped to Barbados, an old haunt which we love.
