                    Hello,
I have had a quote of £3,890 inc VAT for the following;
Five new windows (appreciate you don’t know the sizes but no bay windows etc)
Two new double glazed doors.

            Whereabouts in the country are you?
 It sounds like a reasonable price to me here in Bristol.
 I'm assuming that it's a local firm that's quoted as the likes of Anglian, Safestyle etc would probably quote 5 times that (before getting their manager to give you a special "today only" price of 50% off).

 Well, don't I feel cheated! Safestyle only offered me 40% off and that was a week after their rep had been to see us! We didn't use them, we found a local company who were less than half of the discounted Safestyle price.ciderboy2009 said:

            decent enough based without knowing sizes or styles but a few big and small ones based on about 400 each and upvc doors at 900 that's your money . If theyre comp doors you've done well .

            Thanks for the reply all. The quote is for my holiday home which is in Wales.I decided to change the front door from UPVC to a composite door and the quote has come back as £3,904 inc VAT.It would appear the original tradesmen who recommend this glazer to me had added his cut to the original quote so the original quote should have only been £3,500 inc vat.While I’m over the moon with the price now, I feel annoyed with the original tradesmen trying to make a quick buck out of me for simply passing the work on to his mate.Unfortunately for him, I will now be giving his portion of the home improvements to someone else.Rant over, but I wish people were genuine.0

            What is the holiday home made from ? His mate should have quoted it and got him a drink from it . Not the other way around . If its north of borth ( I like that) send me a message with door options and I will quote it up. If its timber allow for expansion . If its metal like a static its probably fully expanded in this weather . There can be a difference of over 10mm on sizes in expansion . I cover all LL & CH postcodes
