Conservatory Quote?

Options
I have a selection of Conservatory Quotes from 6 different companies, does this seem to much?
For a Lean-to Conservatory measuring: Width 5200 mm Depth 2000 mm Base area 10.400 sq.m and Dwarf Wall Ht 600 mm plus 2 Doors, my quotes are around £12,000.:eek:
I was expecting about 6k but i'm no expert.
I will try to haggle them down and one quote has offered 9k :) however, the other quoters are not budging at the moment.
Enjoy everyday like it's your last!

    If 6 companies are all in the same ball park it's a fair indication that you're not going to get someone quoting half that without some serious compromise

    No way will you get it for £6k. You only have to look at Wickes to see what a conservatory costs to come to that realisation.

    Even £9k is worrying. Worrying because you need to look in minute detail at what you are being offered here.

    £12k sounds relatively cheap to me, especially with a dwarf wall. £6k is completely unrealistic. I would be concerned about the £9k quote, too. Pay close attention to the details of the quotes. In my opinion, conservatories are good if they are a luxury. If you need the space all year round, they!!!8217;re not up to it, and a cheaply constructed one even less so.

    I think £12K sounds a bit cheap as well.

    We had our 12' x 13' Victorian re-built from foundation level 4 years ago for £10K. It was that cheap because we used the original foundations - from scratch it would have been at least £16K.
