Costs and included work
For windows and doors, compare the scope first: measurement, frames, glazing, fixings and surrounding finishes. A price is useful only when supply and finishing work are clearly defined.
| Work / price basis | Starting indication | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Windows and doors | Price on request | Measurement, frames, glazing, fixings and surrounding finishes |
What affects your total?
Fixed panes, tilt-and-turn windows, doors and sliding doors differ in hardware and installation. Specify removal, disposal, glazing, ventilation, sills and interior and exterior making good.
What to send with your request
Send width and height of each opening, photos, preferred materials and opening direction. Include your postcode, preferred schedule and the elements that must remain, so the scope can be assessed.
Replacement windows and doors
Frames and glazing affect appearance, comfort and maintenance. Compare timber, uPVC and aluminium together with glazing, opening sections, ventilation and hardware. The complete assembly matters more than the frame material alone.
Measure and assess before ordering
Inspect the junction with the existing facade and the condition of the surrounding material. Repairs to masonry or decayed timber may be needed. Record dimensions and the agreed appearance before production.
Specify installation and finishing
Include removal and disposal of existing frames, fixings, airtight junctions and any subframes. Agree window sills, trims and painting separately where appropriate. Plan protection of occupied rooms during the work.
Compare equivalent quotations
Use the same dimensions, glazing, opening configuration and finish. The replacement cost guide gives indicative ranges and grant-check information. Product eligibility and any financial support must be confirmed for the actual project.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compare timber, uPVC and aluminium frames?
Compare complete solutions with the same glazing, dimensions and comparable features. Consider appearance, maintenance, profiles, ventilation and junctions with the façade.
Who is responsible for final measurements?
Agree this before ordering. The supplier and installer must use the same checked measurements and junction details. An approximate dimension for a quote is not a manufacturing dimension.
Which finishes around new frames should I discuss?
Ask about reveals, internal and external sills, sealants, joints and any painting. Agree who carries out these items so the installation is handed over with complete junctions.
