poppyolivia

Hi there,

Just needing a rough idea if these quotes are ok..its a standard fit..no fancy framing and all that.

1 window 1500 x 1500
2 x windows 1500 x 1200

first quote £2800
second £2600

Thanks for any help! x

edited to say just had a quote from another firm for £2036...but I have to paint/stan the sills etc....thats more like it!lol

Yes that right, I'm scared to sign on the dotted line...my 3rd quote was for £2036..so do you think I'll get better price than that if I keep looking...all the sales talk is mincing my head!:(

I dont know where you live, but I would be looking at getting the 3 for under a rand. Are these all national companies you have tried, if so, try a couple of local small companys. (You dont live 4 storeys up do you?)

I live in Inverness, companies tried have been national...well as in well known for Scotland.

no its a terraced house with 7 windows but can only afford the front 3 at these prices lol

oh and i want them fitted too.

Call some small local firms for a quote, big double glazing firms are often expensive (though, not always).

The biggies are always expensive.

I have a semi, and got the whole house (7 windows) done with Pilinington AAA self cleaning glass for £2,800

Like the others say, ring a couple of local companies up, get a quote from them both and names of a couple of ex customers for references.

The biggies are over priced always.

I feel really stupid now, I was chuffed with the lower of the three!!:o...hopefully I can get cheaper..I mean the back 4 windows I can hardly see out off because of the condensation betwwen the pains!:o

I'm really hoping I can get it cheaper than would be great..

thanks everyone for the great advice x

like davemorton said. Dont pay over a grand. Then whatever you save you can spend on a hol for all the stress you've had.

I might move up to Inverness if thats the prices they charge lol

You are getting absolutely ripped off with those quotes. Should be £800 to £1100 with reputable trader.

Find a small FENSA registered outfit who will give you a real quote.

Cheers

right I phoned a few wee places and they are still about 2k!!!!....in the papers if I lived in glasgow or there abouts I can get my whole house and the 2 doors done for under 3k!!!...

do you think if I paid for their accomodation and petrol they might think about venturing up here?lol

I'm still going to try for cheaper though..its not like i want anything fancy....just windows I can see out off!!!haha!

thanks again x
