Recommendations for local door company?

The green home grant are making me jump through too many hoops, and the installers are taking the piss with prices, so thought I'd look locally. Don't want anything particularly fancy, just a plain back door with a window in the top half that will rarely be opened (but I use the natural light in the current one) and I guess a composite front with glass panels.

Anyone worth calling? Anyone to avoid?

Don't know any firms to recommend, but you could always have a stable door in the back? Have the top open and keep those 2 gorgeous pups in when needed?

Why will nobody online give you a quote? They all want your phone number, I don't want to speak to a bloody human especially one that will ring me when I'm at work. They know what the cost will be, just give me a damn ballpark!

We found they called & harassed us endlessly, and they won't even give you a quote over the phone, they have to come over to your house for an appointment. We gave up on the end.... They're still phoning.

I used a company in Stoke several years ago, I still get calls now even though I told them I sold the house and am now a council tenant in Birmingham! Will never use them again, precisely because of this behaviour, even if they gave a good quote.

Had a call off a mate who ironically works as the sort of person I don't want calling me, the reason they want your details is to pressure you into buying more. He gave me some real prices, and said to ask local firms (nobody big). He also said I may be better off buying the doors myself and paying a chippy to fit them, and that most small firms buy from the same suppliers anyway.
