Double glazing quote - one window
A*J*_4-2
Posts: 4 Newbie
Hi guys,
I had Everest round yesterday to replace one single-glazed window with a double-glazed one.
They've quoted £590 for the window which is approx 60cm x 60cm.
Sounds pretty pricey to me, but I've got no knowledge of this sort of thing at all. What do you think?
It's a 1st floor window so there could be scaffolding problems. Apparently... :rolleyes:

Yep Everest prices are very very high! Had a quote from them for some windows of around £4500 (excluding their pressure tactics discounts which brought it down to £2500...). I had four other quotes ranged from £600 to £1500. 'True' price is around half of Everests price.

They won't need scaffolding, it's done from inside.0

Get more quotes...Try a couple of local tradesmen"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts."

We paid about 400 all-in for a window approx 100 x 80cm. That was from a local company. Ground floor though.0

Hi everyone,
Just to let you know I've been shopping around and got a quote for £200 for the window and the fitting - nearly a third of the Everest quote!
Without spending anything yet, I feel like I've saved loads of cash!0 -
Great news, well done!0
