What does it cost to install new sash windows?

[AZH]

Can anyone give me an idea of cost to replace up can windows with timber sash windows, for example the cost to do a front bay window? Any local firms to avoid or recommended?

Thanks!

?2k. min. per window = ?6k. 3 window bay.

I'm having sash windows fitted by Bespoke windows on Lordship Lane. Have a look in their window. They do 3 types. I've opted for the conservation range with sound proofing glass. Speak to Murray. Found him very helpful & they were recommended to me by a friend.

?6k for one bay widow?

From my experience i think 5 or 6k would be near the mark for a typical 3 sach timber bay with double glazed sealed units and a factory painted finish by the time it's fitted with architrave and window nosing etc.

I think ours were c?1.5k per window, so 3 times that for a bay, without painting. There was quite a range between manufacturers/fitters though, depending on how long they took to fit them (so how much making good they did) and quality of frames.

Often with bay windows, the 2 narrower side windows don't actually open. So presumably you could save a bit of cash that way.

we had our front bay window sash , exact copy of original Victorian (rotten) sash, painted and fitted into existing cleaned, repainted frames, ditto 2 front bedroom sashes built - fitted into cleaned, sanded and repainted existing frames, and a back bedroom sash refurbished and rehung. It came to just under ?5000 (including VAT) with Steve at Sundial windows

You have it Jeremy, a local joinery and glass firm would be half the price of the'bespoke' plastic merchants. Add on a good local decorator plus 'proper' paint and you are lookng at ?1800 per window if there is more than three.

Recently used London Box Sash Windows, couldn't recommend them highly enough. (www.londonboxsash.com)
