Six whole-house jobs on Billingshurst house types, smallest first, supplied and fitted with VAT
Prices are made to measure. They depend on the sizes, the number and position of the windows, access, and the materials, colours and hardware you choose, so book a free home visit for an exact price.
£4,850 to £8,000
Three standard white flush casements on the ground floor around the front door, and a small one in each of the two dormers, none with bars. The dormer windows may need a tower.
£5,700 to £8,400
Four windows on the first floor and three on the ground floor, plain white chamfered uPVC casements without bars, in place of worn-out early plastic frames.
£6,750 to £12,750
Five slimline aluminium casements finished in anthracite, three up and two down, all without bars.
£9,300 to £14,300
Four uPVC vertical sliding sashes in an oak woodgrain finish with two-over-two bars, two up and two down, plus a new composite front door.
£10,900 to £16,400
Five plain white sashes, one-over-one, with three on the upper floor and two below, alongside the ground-floor bay: three flush uPVC panes, rebuilt on the old brickwork.
from £15,900
Six joinery-made sashes in weighted boxes, glazed six panes over six and painted white, three per floor. Listed and conservation-area fronts are where this comes up.
Few houses are. The free visit ends with a written figure for exactly the windows you have.
Size comes first: a tall villa sash costs more than a cottage casement. Then the number of windows, whether they are upstairs, and the material and finish. A colour or woodgrain costs more than white, and flush casements more than chamfered ones.
First-floor windows here are nearly always reached from a wheeled tower. Where a tower is needed, this may add around £150. Scaffold comes in only where a tower cannot stand, such as over a conservatory roof.
The figure you are given comes before survey, straight after the free home visit. Surveying waits until you say yes, and its job is to fix the exact sizes. Anything that must be made just for your house, an arched head or an extra-tall villa sash for instance, costs more than a stock product.
Just one window to replace? Ask anyway; a lone window simply has a call-out charge added to its price. Three windows or more and you pay the ordinary daily fitting rate.
