Replacing double glazing quotes

Unfortunately don't have the measurements to hand, which i surpose isn't going to be of much help.

But had anglian out to quote on lounge, bedroom, front door and side panel being replaced. I already have double glazing but its very poor and i get the impression quiet old now. The back of the property i did 3 years ago.

All up it would be £2923 for the above on credit. Bringing the total over 96 mths to £6133.40.

We also got quotes if we paid cash and did bits at a time.

Bedroom = £868
Lounge = £1209
Door/panel = £1483

I find it all quiet expensive to be honest and was wondering what others thought. Or perhaps ways i could improve the effectiveness of the double glazing i already have on these windows.

    Wow, that is expensive.

    Get two or three quotes from local companies.
