Hi all... I'd appreciate if you could give me some idea if you think I am being ripped off here.... I need to get another quote but I have agreed a price with a builder to do some work for me... but also wanted some additional tiling done... (the first work and the replacement of windows)...

Hi there, I want to replace the windows in my home and also have a part bricked porch built. I have been quoted £2000 for the follwoing work... which I suppose when broken down and considering the labour is OK... but I just wanted to sanity check the price really... The Porch is 900mm x...
