    Do you really want a toilet window that does not open? You might have an extract fan but that needs electricity and might be noisy, so a window is a fool proof option.

    If you ponder on this it might give a guide to the competence level of the lower priced installer.

    You might want to ponder over the French Doors. It depends how you view usable opening width and whether you want to open both doors. I read this as nominal 675mm doors which is tight for access and egress.

    Look closely at the Georgian bar detail to reassure yourself it will allign across windows, and be durable. There is a house near me with a dreadful front window appearance.

    Theres a reason why the toilet window has been highlighted . and named a aluminium .not sure what its is .could be right onto a pavement etc but its not price affected on the overall job so not an issue . French door openings again not an issue .some holes are 4ft wide and can fit in French doors . tell them you want the Georgian to line up .(so do they) a drawing isn't the job . they will know that . To go onto your quote £7.5K isn't bad inc Georgian bar and a decent comp door . One point . make sure they put restrictors on your French doors if they open out because if they shoot open and you have your transoms open your in trouble . hope that helps you a bit .
    :cool: hard as nails on the internet . wimp in the real world :cool:
