I had a new piece of glass put in my bedroom window it's double glazing there was a crack in it, today i was sent a bill for £179.00 i think it's very expensive for one piece of glass that took the guy 10 min's to fit, does anyone know if this is this a fair price :confused:

    If it's a farly standard sort of size, the glass probably cost a maximum of £30 and fitting should be a max of £50.

    £179 sounds way over the top

    Well the DG Unit will cost around £20 - £25 and even if it took two hours to pick it up and fit its still very overpriced! Well, unless they charge £80 an hour.
    It should be no more than £100 max.
