Basically i am having a double story extension onto my house (about 70% complete) at the moment.
So an additional bedroom is being added but the adjoining (existing) bedroom is having its windows taken out and bricked up because the new bedroom is being built right next to it.
As the old bedroom will now have no windows we were planning to just have it as a walk-in wardrobe or a cinema/playroom. Checked with the builder to see how much it would be if we did want a window installed he said would be £2.5k.
The pvc window itself costs £350 (i know this cause i asked for receipts for the existing windows) and lintel around £60, scaffolding for that side of house is around £150 a week by using a full width guard rail tower.
So Slightly confused as to whether it should cost nearly £2,000 for labour in order to make an opening and then install 1 window, considering he said that it could be done in around 2 days with 2 guys on the job.
I've obviously never had it done before so no idea as to how much the avg cost of this would be but once i heard it i decided to add up the costs and for me it sounds quite abit. Would anybody that has done this type of job before be able to give me an indicative price?
Its pretty much just a normal exterior-facing brick wall and a normal upvc window. Thanks
