Hi All. We have found a house that we would like to offer on but it needs new windows. Its an Edwardian semi - pic attached - has 7 of the smaller windows and one bay. Can anyone advise how much it would cost to replace all of these? It would really help us decide on what to offer!

I’ve just had a frean quote for sash windows from a Polish Interiors (google polish interior.com). A friend used them and was very happy and their quote is half the price. I’m using them for a whole new house build,

We had a quote wooden, sash at £3k per window average. We have huge windows though, and ours are low so need reinforced glass.

Our wooden mock sash windows, accoya wood from local joinery company, were about 1k a window. Reinforced glass as low to floor. Huge windows, 7ft tall but narrow, were about the same as middle window of bay which is wider but less tall.

Our windows are very very similar to yours actually 😊

lozengeoflove · 10/03/2018 17:32

oldbirdy that's incredibly cheap. Do you mind saying, please, what company you used?

oldbirdy · 10/03/2018 17:40

Is it cheap? Maybe I'm misremembering. I'll have a look at the invoice. I can pm the company name if I find I'm right.

I thought it was a lot of money 😂

Yolo2018 · 10/03/2018 17:50

Thanks all.

I will certainly check out Polish interiors LWade 😀

oldbirdy would you also mind sending me the details?x

Ours are mahogany double glazed sashes with toughened glass in lower panes, they were approx. £1k per window (so bays were £3-4K depending on no. of sections
They were primed only, painting was extra.
Ours were done by a local joinery company and all the trims were made to be replicas of the originals so the quirkiness of the house was retained.
We are in the NE so tend to be the cheaper price bracket for tradesmen, we also have 27windows so possibly got a better deal than if we had just wanted 1

Do you really need to replace the windows? Original windows are made out of much better wood than is available today and please dont put upvc in an edwardian house. You can have the windows renovated and draft proofed and if you are concerned about heat loss it can be more effective to have good secondary glazing.

Trulymadlymotherly · 10/03/2018 18:35

Ooh can I slightly hijack your thread to find out how much I would expect renovations to be? We live in a 10 ish year old house with sash windows. They’re a little drafty now.

SleepingInYourFlowerbed · 10/03/2018 18:41

I'm interested too. We may have to replace one of ours in our 1900 house soon.

oldbirdy · 10/03/2018 18:46

Hi
Have found invoice, it was 6151 for 6 windows. They are mock sash (sash appearance externally, but the top section opens outwards pivoted from the top). Smallest height is 2000 so large windows. So yes, about 1k each. North West.

Geneticsbunny · 11/03/2018 11:33

We are getting our sashes refurbished, I. E. Stripped, dodgy bits replaced, double glazed and draft proofed and it works out about £700-1000 per window and ours are big georgian floor to ceiling ones.

Yolo2018 · 11/03/2018 15:24

#Geneticsbunny we have now decided that we would restore them so thanks for this.

I think I will consider it to be approx £20,000 as back door also needs replacing and factor this in to my offer.

Keep your fingers crossed for me please!

I got mock sash put in my Victorian house. Look the real deal. Local joiner made out of sustainable hard wood. I think about 1k per window, but a few years ago. They open outwards, and some slide on poles for fire escape purposes.
Some of the national firms e.g. Everest starting price was 3x this. Robbers!

Cacofonix · 11/03/2018 16:13

Yes why do you need new ones?? Are they completely rotten and falling apart? They look ok in the photo. I would have them refurbished and draught proofed - we did that here. Any rotten sections were replaced (think we had three sills replaced for the whole house and we have 18 windows). Original windows, going strong 118 years now.
