Post and beam Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 If this is a new build they shouldn't charge VAT on a supply and fit on one order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Post and beam Posted March 21, 2023 Author Share Posted March 21, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seren161 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 You might be able to knock 10 percent of that quote …not sure you’d get more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 (edited) 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.
