Thanks this is really helpful.
I was paying ~ £325 for a window refurb including minor repairs and replacing cracked panes was an extra £50
Which part of the country is that in? Should get a quote back soon myself.
double glazed replacement
Would they be able to put say double glazing in some of the panes and keep the top dome shaped ones single glazed to keep cost down do you think (saves making bespoke double glazing if the rectangular bit is standard)?
I'd go with no fans if necessary rather than window fans though
completely agree. Will ask the neighbouring flats what they do for extraction.

This was London, and a guy who was very good at what he did with a lengthy waiting list.
I can't imagine there is much cost difference between single and double glazed for one pane but you could always ask. It might look a bit unbalanced as obviously they're spaced differently to fit the thicker glass.
In my last place I just opened the windows for "extraction". Assuming it's not open plan then that's generally fine.

Panes of glass are cheap, looking at the quote I had for sash window refurb I was paying ~ £325 for a window refurb including minor repairs and replacing cracked panes was an extra £50.
For the really knackered ones I paid about a grand which involved replacing the existing rotten sash with a hardwood, double glazed replacement.
I would agree with getting those fans out of the window, you'll probably need permission from the freeholder to cut holes in the wall for fans though. I'd go with no fans if necessary rather than window fans though.
