What moves the price
- Complexity of the installation — bay windows, sash windows and unusual shapes take longer to measure and fit than standard frames.
- Number of windows — fitting several windows in one visit spreads the installer's setup and travel across the whole job.
- Removing old windows or repairing frames — taking out old frames and making good the walls and sills adds time to each window.
- Materials chosen — timber and aluminium frames usually cost more than uPVC for the same window size.
- Access issues — upper-floor windows or no nearby parking make each window slower to install.
- Specific design requirements — coloured frames, special glass or made-to-measure shapes cost more than standard white windows.
