A month or two back we had total new windows fitted to our living room - including the frames themselves.
The main window was done which has the main body glass about 2mtr-x-1mtr with 2 openings around 250mm-x-850mm each.
Then the small side window was done - again total new frames as well, the whole lot re-done, ripped out & replaced. This will perhaps be 1.5mtr-x-500mm at a guess.
Then i asked for prices on the bedroom windows being done. Not the frames, just the glass this time around.
1 window:
980mm-x-690mm main body
880mm-x-140mm opening
Then 2 windows in another bedroom...
1535mm-x-680mm main body
630mm-x-140mm opening (x2)
And then a small window in there of 430mm-x-985mm with no opening.
The whole job in the living room, new frames and all, was £800.
I know the bedroom job involves more pieces of glass, but they're smaller, plus the frames are staying.
We were quoted £1,600 for it. Same company.
When comparing it to the living room job, it doesn't make sense to me, but then i'm not in this game so one of you guys may be able to explain it (or to say it's on the expensive side).
