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.

Seems like a very fair price.
In this flat (pics a few replied back) can't not have an extractor in the bathroom - so not sure what the solution looks like there.
Kitchen will possibly lose its door as the doorway gets widened but won't be open plan.
