    Ours did 4 windows (2 x 3 panes, a 2 pane and a single pane) and a door in 1 day if that helps.

    The same exact length of time it takes an electrician to fit a sink in the downstairs WC!

    Why are you using a carpenter with uPVC? Sure, he can do it, and may be more skilled than most window fitters, but it's not his usual line of work...

    Did the carpenter object to the OP's question and vaporise them ?
