Earlier in the week I had a knock on my door from a rather charming person who explained that they were putting up windows at a near neighbour’s of mine in Belstead Avenue and would I be interested. The notepaper he gave me was from “L Joyce Ltd Windows & Doors”. No telephone number or email address (I’ve looked subsequently on Google and they are legitimate, but without much of a web presence, I guess they’re going to have a higher web presence now).
Any way, despite the fact that I have very good builders I quite like the fact that people pay some attention to this, and so I arranged for a quote on Friday with the proviso that he call first.
Then on Wednesday a neighbour said that he had seen this man on my front lawn looking at my windows. “What are you doing?” he asked, to which he got a rather aggressive reply. As I didn’t have the phone number for L Joyce Ltd I thought I’d wait for the call and tell them that I could not deal with them due to the aggressiveness and rudeness.
Well today he called round, without a telephone call first. I explained that I did not want a quote, and why I did not want a quote. And then I got an aggressive response back, “Thanks for wasting my time” (no swearing or intimidation, just a raised voice).
So I can’t vouch for the work of L Joyce Ltd Windows & Doors, but I can tell you that if you do use them, make sure that you don’t get into any misunderstandings, as it could turn very ugly.
