is this a good quote

hi,
    Guys just wondering if this is a decent quote from a local company i have 10 windows of varying sizes in a 3 bed semi in the south east £9.2k labour not included..

Sounds a bit steep if fitting is on top. A similar number of windows cost me around £6K a couple of years ago (including fitting), but prices have gone up quite a bit since.

I'd suggest getting a few more quotes that include fitting along with any lintels that may be required.

Yeah that's exactly what I am thinking it's a bit steep ...

Expensive - just paid £10k for 8 windows (one was 3m x 1.6 and the rest were larger than normal), solidor composite front door and aluminium bifolds fitted

What company was it?

Very steep. Got quoted 5k for set of French doors, 7 windows of varying sizes, 2 upvc doors. Includes labour

That seems a bit too cheap !

Makes sense to have the company that supply the windows to also fit them. 

Then there's no possibility of the "wrong" windows being supplied

I'm in the south east.  I had a local company supply 10 windows (3 were very large), 2 sets of patio doors, I new front door with glass panels either side and a set of bifolds for £10,900.  My builder fitted but he works with the company all the time

If he was working on his own, it must have taken him more than a week. So maybe cost £1500/£2000 in the SE ?
