Fitting new door, is it worth fitting new windows at the same time?

cepheus

A vandal broke my partly glazed front door last night so I need to replace it. Is it worth refitting new windows at the same time since they are long past their best and needed replacing anyway. Do they add the same value of their cost to the property?

If so where do I start in the double glazing maze of finding suitable companies?

It is a 'back to back modern' freehold house with an adjoining wall on the back and side. So it requires 1 door, 4 front windows and 2 smaller side windows, plus a very small one. Like this one

If the windows really need replacing and you have the money to do them then go for it but I would suggest to everyone not to get into debt over things that may still have a few years left in them. Maybe if some are worse than others replace them in stages because some companies offer a discount for repeat customers (thats what i did although had all fitted on same date i placed 3 separate orders about a week apart and got a discount as an existing customer).
To find a good company ask around friends and family first then just look on line for local companies. Get a few quotes and think about the decision you are making.
In general i believe that double glazing does add value to a property but i wouldn't have a clue how much sorry.

That is interesting since I would rather have just the door done now, followed by the Windows in October, but have asked for a quote for both.
