Martin Lewis issues urgent warning to anyone with double glazing

Martin Lewis has issued a stark warning to UK homeowners sporting double-glazing, following the recent closure of a large company. He took to X, formerly Twitter to share news of the well-known double-glazing firm Everest 2020's descent into administration.

Birmingham Live reported that he tweeted, "Double glazing firm Everest 2020 falls into administration, your rights..."

Another disgruntled customer shared their previous experience with the company being judgemental, tweeting: "No surprise. We once called for a quote for a composite door. He googled our address and told us "they're very expensive, you know. I've googled your address, and I just want to check. Are you sure you can afford it?"

"He had basically judged us on our address... (1/),", said a second.

"You'd hope you'd be insulated from any issues here ....," one customer remarked. "I'm assuming they were part of FENSHA so customers old and new
