Labour costs: installing glazing

If I were to purchase eight of the smallest windows which are about 1/3 of the way down the page from the linked-to webpage below, approximately what price should I be expecting to pay someone, labour costs only, to remove current windows and install these?

    You would be better getting a supply and fit price rather than getting windows off the net and then finding a fitter. If you measure them wrongly, you will have to pay twice, if you get a supply and fit price, any mess ups are down to the installers. Many window fitters maybe reluctant to take on labour only work for this very reason.

    And of course you then need to pay the council silly money to sign them of and certify them.

    Agree with Phill - there's plenty of local firms will take the responsibility and stress out of what you're planning and register with FENSA for you...

    I would not call £75-£150 typical, silly money for all windows. Fensa is just another con.
