Guess the quote
Discussion
I’m waiting for a quote on my house in Newcastle. Three old roof windows to be removed (50x150cm) and replaced with bigger Velux windows, 70x150cm.
On the fourth floor, so scaffolding needed.
I haven’t the first clue how much this will cost, so while waiting for the price, what do people reckon?

They could have a garden underneath, you could also put barriers around the area
They could also have a conservatory underneath or maybe the hammer would bounce and smash through the patio doors ? Or take one of the window cills out on the way down ? If your diying it then yes do it from the inside.
But why would someone the op is paying want to do it without scaffold just to save the op some money and make it more risky for themselves? Its not a bungalow its 4 floors up.
Its also easier to fit them from outside.

You can fit velux windows from inside. You don’t need to be on the roof.
Like for like perhaps but he's going larger so will be slating/tiling involved and, potentially, trimmers.It all depends on the roof covering and site , I wouldn’t advise trying it on a slate roof 4 levels up , also I do the work myself , no point in a contractor getting in trouble and causing danger to the public to save a client a few quid .

10k-12k, depending on how much making good they include
..Gosforth/Brandling Park?
Jesmond, right behind the Civic Centre, so definitely no cutting of corners on the work...Gosforth/Brandling Park?
And not that it should make any difference to the price, but it’s a relatively old house, built in 1840.
