The end product was excellent and the work completed in very good time. Everest customer services were always first class to deal with including the quick resolution of a couple of snags I had with the finished product.

Only concerns were the use of heavy discounting during the sales pitch which made it very difficult to know whether you were really getting a fair price (I do think companies like this need to realise that most people just want a fair price quoted in the first instance rather than a more complicated deal involving a series of discounts which always seem to be on offer). The only way to know if you are getting a good deal is to obtain 3 quotes from reputable companies (time consuming but worth it for such a big piece of work).

I was also left fairly confused by the Everest Account which they offer to finance the work - be aware that the interest rate on this is very high but you do have the option to repay early which can make it work as a short-term financing option. My advice would be to pay very close attention to the t&c's and consider other options such as a straight-forward bank loan which is likely to be at a much lower rate.

One final gripe is not with Everest but some of their building contractors -a couple we had filled the stereotype of your typical English builder going on about being given the wrong information by Everest, not being given enough time to do the work and not being paid enough. My response was always the same - Everest are project managing this, speak to them if you're not happy. Invariably that got on with the work whilst grumbling and did a good job but they did raise my blood pressure a few times.
