Thoughts on this quote?

We are a 3 bed semi and our bathroom window is broken. We could just replace it like for like but as all the windows are old and ideally need replacing we thought we might as well get them all done. We’ve got 7 windows altogether but 3 of them are huge so may count as 2 windows so make that 10. Plus front door and internal porch. The windows are going to white upvc and the quote is for a composite front door.

Personally I think it’s a bit excessive? We are in the North East of England

    We had 10 windows of varying sizes replaced 18 months ago by a local company in Essex and paid £3,650 I think, very impressed.


    We also paid £800 for a new composite front door fitted from a different local company, again very impressed.
