Double Glazing Contract Advice

If you sign in your own home you will be covered by Cancellation of Contracts regulations, governing agreements made in a consumer’s home or place of work. These give you a 7 day cooling off period starting from when the supplier explains your rights to you in writing. Note, that if you agree for work to beginning within those 7 days this cancellation period is invalidated.
