Cost of sash windows

[Chillaxed]

OK, thanks red devil. Maybe I just needed a bit of hand holding and a couple of renditions of Kumbayah to make me feel better about my UPVC's.

That's a Casement UPVC not a Sash.

You've got a few options.

1 paint them use the upvc primer .

2 Remove and see if the original sash boxes are still either side . if they are then you can get sliders made and go back to original timber sash windows for ?500 ish . you could also go with double glazed but that would mean replacing the weights with heavier ones .

If you find the boxes are gone

3 install new Timber at ?1000 to ?2000.

4 replace them with new upvc sash see my link to quickslide.co.uk. maybe ?300 if you diy.

...5. or just leave them alone = zilcho

yep

If it's not broken, don't fix it.

[Chillaxed]

Going with option 5, thanks all.

Seems you were unlucky by getting competition from people with more money than sense. Doesn't happen all the time though!

This is why i always wonder why UK manufacturers are soo expensive...

We are really selling our windows like 30-40% cheaper with shipping than those in UK ...

Just made a quick look at the pricelist. As an autor asked 700x1000 costs 300 punds here against 2k in UK.

I have recently used WoodAndHome ? www.woodandhome.co.uk.

They came next day for a survey and within 4 weeks supplied very good quality timber sash windows to my new extension, my builders fit them,

They price was very competitive They provided all details in quotation and I knew what I was paying for.

At the end i also replaced all other widows, this time they gave me a very good price including installation.

All opening windows are sash windows. The sash is the opening pane.

Box sash windows is what you are tlaking about.

I blame this ignorance on the government, on the EU, immigrants, education, etc etc

[mayallen]

I had a window replacement done by clera windows https://www.clerawindows.com/ a few months back. The box sash window was actually invented in England in the the late 17th century. I had it single glazed. Box sash windows require toughened glass and 6.4 laminated security glass is also required. I also had obscure glazing solutions done.

[malumbu]

Why laminated? Surely if this is the case all single glazed windows whould be laminated.

Simlite do thin unit double glazing - as recommended by Mr Grand designs himeself

Had five sash windows done in double glazing four years ago and it came to ?11,400, so not cheap.

Just had a quote for four sashes to be replaced with hard wood double glazed sashes ?5k plus vat.

Try Sash Windows London - did a good job for me.
