I also edited the last post to include replacing the windows in a bay. It cost £5200, it was booked in to take 3 days, they were finished in about 6 hours, the windows were so stiff they didn't open, 2/3 of the parting beads were cracked, they had drilled in the cills and tops to attach them to the house, the sand mastic was terrible and there was nothing else around the windows to hold them in. Having now seen how they arrive from the joiner, I would just do it myself.
Also doing things over time has made it easier financially, but harder living in what was close to a building site for over a year.
