Double glazing installation - average costs?

RuthG, 19 May, 2009 at 11:44 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 9

We had a quote from safestyle windows last night, for 7 windows, french doors, patio door, front door and back door. List price was 21k, discount price was 9.5k, if we'd have committed to it last night we could have got them for about 5k. Obviously we weren't keen to commit to it as we've not had any other quotes yet and we've no idea how to guage this price. We've got a budget of between 15-20k to get the house up to scratch, but it needs rewiring throughout, boiler and central heating, bathroom, kitchen knocked through to diner and then general decoration. Mr G will be able to get some of this done himself, but some of it is specialist work which he can't do. I know the budget isn't huge, so we need it to stretch as far as possible.

Anybody had similar amount of doors/windows installed? What was the cost (if you don't mind me asking?) also any ideas on:

Re-wire of 3 bed semi?

Combi boiler and 8 radiators?

knocking supporting wall from kitchen to dining room and put asupportive joist in?

TIA!

    I'm having mine done at the moment. It's only a small one bed flat, for 4 windows and one french door with side panels it's cost £2400. So I'd say that £5k sounds pretty good for yours. If you are in Surrey I can recommend the company I used.

    I'm in Coventry, so I think it'd be too far for them to travel ? The bloke last night was really desperate for a sale, but we just couldn;t commit to it, we'd have been mad to!

    I would ask if anybody else has used Safestyle because I'm sure I've read some horror stories on here about them. Maybe also google and see if anything comes up on other Forums?

    I think that's a really good price. I had 6 windows for £1800.

    My mum and dad are just in the process of having their 3 bed semi rewired (which sounds like a living nightmare). They are paying £2000 but this is through a friend of a friend so might be cheaper than normal.

    We paid £2800 plus VAT to have our 3 bed semi rewired.

    we got a few quotes in to have 7 windows (2 of them bay windows) 1 french door and 1 back door and the most expensive was £6k.

    this was in london last year

    Do you have any local double glazing firms rather than national ones? We used a local firm, they had good reviews and they didn't have a hard sell approach. They gave a quote and that was it.
