Hi, any advice greatly appreciated. we have been quoted 2,500 for 3 windows - 1st, 1top, 1side opener, 2nd 2 top 2side openers, last one top) and a front door for £2,500. does that sound ok, it is local company, south east area. many thanks

Hi I think this sounds a little costly? I have just had a quote for 7 windows and sliding patio doors for £3,700 from Safestyle! Ours are all quite big windows and are all safety glass due to closeness to ground. I am based in Cambridge, Hope this helps

I have no idea but in my unexperienced opinion, I think you would need to provide more detail to compare like for like...

For example, I have no idea what sort of front door you mean, but I like the composite ones and they can cost £800+ just for the door (no fitting)....

That sounds over the top, but hard to say how much without sizes. If you can give more details of the sizes I can give you a good idea of what you should be paying for high quality products.

Thank you all. here is some more detail and then i double check measurements.


Front door is composite - half moon window with frosted glass

2 of the windows are safety glass

all windows say new exterior PVC.c.cill. they are internally beaded

sorry not very knowledgable , hope that is useful so far......

back again, some measurements

front downstairs - 1m wide x 1m20 high ( safety glass, top,side opener)

porch 50cm wide x 1m high

upstairs bed 2m wide x 1m20 high ( safety glass escape hinges, 2 top openers, 2 side openers)

Thank you for any advice, really want to support the local guys, but dont want to be taken for a ride too much
Thank you

Obviously still only a rough guide without seeing exact styles and sizes, but i would say you should get that for around £1800.

think will try another localish company for another quote, then can compare to
thanks again for taking time to reply

hi, thank you for all your replies. an update to add to confusion, the next quote from another local company has come back £100 more expensive, but will be shorter to wait until its done. is it ok to negotiate in these situations, - dont want to put anyone out of business in these cash strapped times. if it is ok to haggle are there any good phrases to use ? many thanks

I would always haggle as the initial quotes or windows/doors are usually far higher than what most people pay in the end so there has to be a big margin. I would try and play the 2 companies off each other.
