Sash window supplier

Just wondering if anyone has suggestions for companies that could provide and install a replacement traditional Victorian sash window in London. We’ve got an estimate from The London Sash Window Company which seems very expensive (and isn’t even hardwood)!

In a similar position (Edwardian flat in London). Are yours double glazed? I had a quote from Mortice and Green.

Sorry, yes quote was for double glazed (apparently they have to be double glazed unless the property is listed), but was almost £3k incl VAT Shock. For one window Shock

To be honest my head was spinning so much with all the different options that I've put on hold for the meantime. I have a mixture of single glazed sash and casement windows - all original..
I have 3 very large sashes in the bedroom and was quoted just over £2,600 for each. However..although it says hardwood on the quote, I think the quote is based on completely renovating the original boxes and changing the sashes (windows - not boxes?) from single to double glazed. They also charge extra on top for the weights.
Softwood doesn't sound appropriate though maybe I'm talking rubbish!!
Was your quote for new boxes as well?

We just had ours done by the Conservation Sash Window company- highly recommend them, they’ve been brilliant. We’re in east London, but they do jobs across London and Essex/Herts.
