£4850 - 4 Windows and Xtreme Front Door

mro85

Hi All,

This quote seems expensive to me so would be great to hear your thoughts on this...

Quote from a local business in Rainham, Essex.

- Bathroom Window 110cm x 90cm (split into two halves) - frosted
- Hallway window - 50cm x 90cm (split in two halves)
- Downstairs bathroom window 110 x 140cm (split into two halves) - frosted
- Bedroom widnow - Approx 160cmx 110cm (split into 4 parts

All with venting, child resticters etc

XtremeDoor Compsite door with two side panels.

All in £4850 (originally quoted £5550 but priced was brought down)

Windows Duraflex windows.
This seems expensive to me (Front door circa £1200 plus £500 per window - £3300 - £3500 was my thoughts but my wife thinks I'm being unrealistic).

What do you all think?

Why don’t you get some more quotes in your unsure rather than expecting people who don’t know to give you advice

Where did you find that information ? that's terrible & never seen anything price wise to match that . OP £4.8k is overpriced . Your price scale was more like what you should expect to pay . Maybe a little more on your door combi and a little less on your frames . (if white )

Just clarify the 2 side panels .. Are they glass sides or midrail & standard flat panel or composite side panels( difference can be about £700 on the job)

Yes its looks high to me, 3 to 3.5k is more realistic for what you have described around here (circa 20 miles west of central London)

Hi All,
Thanks for the advice- really useful.
The side panels would be half glass (the bottom half is brickwork so they wouldn't touch that)

Richierich: I have called for a few more quotes but wanted to sense check hence I thought I'd "is this quote fair" forum!

As usual, sales lady wanted me to put money down on the evening, sign the contract there and then so glad I resisted the sales pitch.

Thanks again

Don't let them over the threshold . Your thought on a quote is realistic and achievable . Composite doors do differ in price from different supplier but you should get a decent modern choice within your budget . Ive started talks to fit spitfire doors recently in my area only . they're impressive . expensive & a new option of door but turning the clock back to the original comp door metal clad . Posh commercial properties/ footballer & druggies wages

Just say no and wait a few day to weeks for them to ring with an improved price.

Blocking out quite a bit of light in small windows with all those splits. Are they all necessary?

The hallway window must have barely any glass in it at all.

3 years ago I paid £1600 for 2 composite doors (front and back), but neither with side panels.

And we paid £3,500 for 11 windows of various sizes and styles

I’d say £3,000 maximum, maybe a little more for yours. Our door supplier was actually from down your way as it goes, either Basildon or Benfleet or Rainham I think
