I have just ordered replacement double glazing from BAC (full name BACWindows and Doors). After ordering I was told (admitedly by a rivalfirm) that BAC are forever going bankrupt and that I would probablyloose all my money and that if I did get the windows fitted then anygaurantee would be worthless....I was a bit p#ssed off as I thought BAC had been trading for yearsand years, but a quick search at Companies House reveals that theywere incorporated in 2002 - ie they have only existed for 2 years -and worryingly have traded under 3 different names so far this year!I cant find out any info prior to 2002 - does anyone know how longthis company (the previous company) traded for prior to 2002? Are BACas unstable as this rival salesman suggests or am I worrying aboutnothing?Has anyone needed to claim on a garantee for windows etc fitted priorto 2002?ThanksDavid Bevan

There are a few companies here. One is BAC Windows Ltd, 01541445, formed26/01/1981.The last set of accounts filed was dormant accounts to 3 January 1999. Sothey weren't trading at that point. The accounts for 2000, 2001, 2002 and2003 are overdue.The other one you found, at the same address is BAC Windows and Doors Ltd,04530841, formed 10/09/2002.They filed dormant accounts to 31 Dec 2003, so they weren't trading at thatpoint.Another is BAC Trade and Commercial Ltd, same address, 05026083, formed26/01/2004.No accounts due or filed yet.There is a BAC Limited, different address close by, 04299718, formed 05/10/2001. Currently in administration. Previously known as BAC DoubleGlazing Limited.This different address is their insolvency practitioners.So, in summary, I think you do have cause for concern.

Hi David, I was just checking whether bac was still in business. I used them back in 1994 and their product was above all others in my estimation but expensive. As far as I am aware they generally had a good reputation then but things do change.
