Supply only UPVC

[dirty boy]

Just been quoted £509 for a window as supply only.

1400 (h) x 1150 (w)

To look like this...




I think it's steep, had a quick "safestyle direct" moment, and can get a white window for £159 from them, so in my mind, add 40% for the oak style, £40 for lead effect? + 20% for superior quality? say circa £315 seems like where I want to be....

Any thoughts?

Well, I know I can get a builder who will work for £100 per day, and i'm pretty sure they can fit a couple of windows a day!

So even if I add £50 onto the price of a window to cover fitting...

I just can't fathom it.

One company quoted £750!!! for ONE window!!

I told him to stop wasting my time, he got a right 'cob on' with me and left telling me I was wasting his time! cheeky sod.

It's the massive variances in prices between companies I can't stand.

I'm too far away to be able to help with the supply or fitting , but yes 2 windows of that size is easy money @ £100

Supply , even in oak finish , rectangular leading , K Glass and decent spec hardware £200 or just over is what I'd expect to pay at trade rates.

Okay, much appreciated, shame you're not closer!

Nope, are they worth a punt? I'd have thought, given the fancy showrooms etc that Polycastle would be more expensive again.


Pete's plastics could be worth a shout, didn't think of them.

Polycastle have a tradecounter around to the left handside of the showroom, just in side of the gate.

Petes Plastics is just down the road and I think there is another place around the corner again opposite Hales Scrap yard.

Ive only used Polycastle in the past for fascias so cant comment on the rest.

Pete's Plastics came back with a 1400 x 1150 window, in golden oak, with glass, vat and vents at £230 (one opening)

Happy with that.


Thanks for mentioning them.
