By problem, what do you mean?

Brilliant! Look forward to seeing the photo's! 11 of the 13 windows will be south facing and we live near Winchester so pretty far south. Thasnks

They are 4 piece casements, 2 opening leaves and 2 permanent closed. Largest windows are circa 2400mm x 1200mm. Yes we have listed building consent, you do not require normal planning consent if you are listed. Thanks

Hi there, I am in the process of getting quotes to replace 13 large ish domestic timber windows (slim lite double glazing). We are looking for stained Oak frames. We have had a few quotes come in the cheapest of which is £42,000. More than we were hoping for but it is what it is. First of all does this price sound about right? Secondly and most importantly the window provider is quoting for '2 coats of Osmo oil' prior to fitting. I'm not concerned internally but externally is this enough? Will the windows not fade substantially over time and / or not be protected enough from the elements? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks p.s. yes we have building consent.
