Had several double glazing quotes from local small companies for whole house - they all come in the range of £18.5k - £23k.
The most expensive one did my mum's back window recently and were fine but can be a bit slack on the communication.
I would feel fine and justified asking them to come down to nearer the bottom quote - not sure if they would but would be happy to try.
The least expensive quote, I'm not sure about the company so probably won't use them - but would have no idea whether they also had scope to go lower? Would they have built in wiggle room?
There are two or three companies all clustered around the £20k mark.
I'm rubbish at haggling - total rubbish.
The 'general truth' about double glazing is that they all make loads of money and can all be haggled down but even at £20k (this is new windows, comp door and large sunroom incl 3 patio doors too) I have no idea what's a realistic amount to try and get off - maybe £20k is nearly the right price?
I don't want to be taken for a mug but I don't know how to approach this.
To me, £20k seems realistic and most have independently quoted at this figure.
How much is realistic to expect to get below this? What should I do?
