Double Glazing Quote Opinions

Look at getting double glazing for whole house and have got several quotes, however are not sure of what to make of them. There is a huge variation in prices and we are honestly a bit stuck of who to go to.
Quote is for:
4 windows upstairs (2 larger ones with 3 openings, 2 smaller ones with 2 openings)
3 windows downstairs (1 large one with 2 openings, 1 smaller kitchen window with one opening, and a full length porch side window with 1 small opening at the top.
1 Standard back UPvC door
1 Composite front Door
1 3 Panel aluminium bi fold door
The 6 Quotes we have back are ranging from £7800 to £10,800. The cheaper one is local one man band company, and the more expensive ones are larger local companies. We havent had any of the nationals round. There is a huge difference in price, the cheaper ones are almost too cheap, wonder if they are using cheaper windows. The larger local companies are using eurocell.
Does this seem a fair price?

Have you asked the cheapest which profile he's using? Like you we've had wildly varying quotes. The cheapest we had is using eurocell, not sure what the others are using. We've used the company before for a patio door which was fine, so I think we'll probably go with the cheapest quote. They are a well known local company. We are after 4 large and 2 medium windows, of which 3 will be grey externally. Our cheapest quote is £3235+VAT. A solid plain composite door was about another £600+VAT but they don't do the half glazed style we want so we're looking at £1350 total from another supplier.We've had other quotes in the £6-£8K range from smallish local suppliers.Make £2026 in 2026
Prolific £177.46, TCB £10.90, Everup £27.79, Roadkill £1.17

Cheapest is using a local window supplier that doesn’t have great reviews, that’s why they are possibly so cheap.0

We had the same sort of variation . Have you tried the link below? I found it quite accurate compared with what we ended up paying. It was about in the middle. You have to give your details but they don't contact you; it's all online.
