Window supplier/fitter Mallorca
Hi,
We are building a finca in Mallorca and are struggling getting a reasonable quote for windows. We don't want anything non-standard, aluminium double glazed in grey.
Does anyone have any experience or advice?
As I'm pretty new to this forum stuff, apologies if my etiquette is out!
As a bit of background I will be moving out with my family (fiancé and little ones) once the build is complete, hopefully before Christmas. It is just outside Algaida. We're based near Manchester at the moment and we most definitely won't miss having to wear jackets in the middle of August!!
Cheers,

Re: Window supplier/fitter Mallorca
Window fitting seems to be amongst the most common businesses around. There are so many fitters in every town, it's would be difficult to suggest one over the other.
If you're only talking to the "big" guys, I'd try finding one that's small and independent. There are lots of them in Manacor, just down the road from you, for example. Or Felanitx, or Campos...
Just be aware that being a foreigner, the offer price can be double. If you are a more regular customer, the price can be a lot less, so if they try to gouge you, be prepared to politely tell them the price is too high and walk away. They probably need the work, so you may get a more conciliatory tone if you are nice about it and are obviously prepared to walk.
Good luck...
