Quote from Weru, what do you think i could get them down to

[Post and beam]

I have a quote for their Afino Tec windows at £44500 + VAT, fitted.

 

Sounds like a lot to me, do the window companies still play the silly games they always used to?

If this is a new build they shouldn't charge VAT on a supply and fit on one order.

Well spotted. They do make a big point of saying their windows are installed by their own employees and not contractors, so deffo a one stop shop. Actually this is an attractive feature of the company. Expensive on first round of haggle though.

You might be able to knock 10 percent of that quote …not sure you’d get more..

Being generous here, 16 windows at £1.5k each (some will be higher, others lower), £24K, £8k for your doors, £32K.

 

2 men x 4 days @ £700 (3 days install, 1 day offload and setting out), £2.8K excluding travel call that £200, accommodation £250 a night, call that £1K and delivery £2K.

 

I would say it should be around £36/£38K, £44.5K sounds a bit steep without seeing schedule/quote, for 19 items to be honest.

Ask them for there supply only price 

You will probably be quite shocked 

 

We had two sets of bifolds on our last build The fitting and survey price came to £1900 plus vat They wouldn’t zero rate I’d never fitted bifolds before 

It took myself and my wife less than a day to fit both
