meat_n2_reg

Hello 
Just wondering if this is a fair price 

3 bedroom 1970's semi so a lot of very big windows and also a porch 

down stairs including front porch :- 5 windows , 3 doors ( 2 pvc & 1 composite) and 1 double french doors 
upstairs 6 windows 

price £11k 

Thanks

How does it compare to the other quotes you’ve received? That will give you a sense.

Safe style ( before going bump) was £14k

Go find some local independent installers, and avoid the ones that use salesmen on commission. And if they have a showroom, that will be another sign that prices will be higher.

£11K sounds way too high.... Without knowing the sizes, I would expect something in the £6-8K range.

Very big windows ?

Wood I presume 

Have you checked they have lintels to the exterior leaf ? 

Plastic windows will definitely require them

Thanks for the replies , old windows are PVC ( 30 years old ) so a straight replace 

7 of the windows are approx. 7ft by 4ft 

Regards

Got another local quote at around same price 11k 

Guess everything gone up a lot at the moment 

both of the 11k quotes  are local firms with no salesman on commission or showrooms

Went back and re-read your initial post - I missed the 6 windows upstairs....

11 windows in total, three doors, plus a patio door - £11K isn't too bad. Expensive, yes, but as you point out, prices have gone up.

Last year we had our 1930s 3 bed semi (so also big windows) replaced. That was 9 windows, one back door, aluminium bifolds and a pvc front porch done for £16k and this was in London. We got 4 quotes all around the same.
