  • Replacing all the windows in a house...

    Currently not a ton of places fully up and running, or giving clear quotes. I have zero experience but am trying to budget out various bits of work so any anecdotal guidance would be amazing -

    • Very roughly, what would a fair range be for ~10x 'new windows please' (4x Large, 2x Medium, 4x small) be?
    • What work do I need to factor in? i.e do window sills need to be in place and in good nick before or would a good company doing installation factor this in?
    • What surprised you / most people / often goes wrong that I'm unaware of?
  • What are you replacing and with what do you want to replace them?

    Are they wooden sash windows or uPVC double glazed?

    I got the rear of our house and a door done a few years ago for about 3k installed (Crystal Windows) - that was five windows of various sizes and openings.

    I was happy with the work - they did it in two days - and had no issue with the windows since, it also included plain wooden internal sills where required at no cost, but the windows are not especially pretty and am currently having the ground floor totally redone anyway so got rid of a couple of windows and the door.

    We got them to come back and quote for uPVC sash windows for the front of the house years later. It was the same salesman, even though it seemed like he'd forgotten us, and he took his chances big time. Wild quote for ten grand or something. Told him to do one, and I do think they dropped it to eight, but I eventually decided to keep the original Victorian sash windows in the front of the house and have them renovated and am happy to have plain but reliable and secure double glazing at the back of the house.
