The double glazing business is a pressure sales market with massively inflated prices IMO. Double glazed windows look like some sort of wizardry, but the hardest bit is the frame, that is squared in the brick opening using packers then screwed into the brick using masonry screws. There are Youtube guides that show how quick and simple it is.
I once paid £6k for 13 windows when I didn't know better. Took the guy less than a day (house was not yet plastered so he didn't need to do any finishing).
That's the route I'm going down atm, £240 for local building control to advise, inspect & sign the job off(but this will involve the removal of a few courses of bricks to fit French doors too).
