Hi,
I would be grateful for any advice on the merit of a quote I have received for installation of some double glazed casement windows from a "National" supplier.
The quote started off at approx £9300 before discounting, then with discounts offered by supplier it reduced to approx £6500. I have just received a phone call offering further discounting which reduces the quote to approx £4000. All the prices are fully inclusive of VAT and ancillary items etc.
The windows are as follows:
1. 1300cm x 1300cm (2 openers)
2. 1300cm x 1300cm (2 openers)
3. 1300cm x 1100cm (2 openers)
4. 1000cm x 800cm (2 openers)
1st Floor Square Bay Window Consisting Of:
5. Left Side - 1400cm x 600cm (1 opener)
6. Right Side - 1400cm x 600cm (1 opener)
7. Front - 1400cm x 2500cm (4 sections, 2 openers)
Ground Floor Angled Bay Window Consisting Of:
8. Left Side - 1700cm x 600cm (2 sections, no openers)
9. Right Side - 1700cm x 600cm (2 sections, no openers)
10. Front - 1700cm x 1000cm (2 sections, both openers)
I have another quote from a local supplier but it is not a like for like quote. My local supplier quoted me a final price of £1600 for items 1 to 4 above. I did not ask the local supplier to quote for the two bays listed in items 5,6,7 and 8,9,10 above. Unfortunately, I cannot get the local supplier back to increase the scope of the quote until the New Year and I have been informed that the "Today Only Special" quote from the "National" will no longer be valid and will revert back to the "valid for 6 month quote" of approx £6500.
By trying to upscale the local supplier quote on a like for like basis I think I will be in the region of £3600, perhaps more which is why I am slightly tempted by the "National".
The "National" did an installation for my neighbour a few doors away and they are pleased with the quality of the work. However, they had sash windows rather than casement and also had more windows installed so I really have no cost comparison.
Should I hang out for a bit more reduction from the "National" and wait until I can get a revised quote from my local supplier. Or, should I bite the carrot while it is dangling in front of me.
I have no experience with purchasing or installation of double glazing so any advice or feedback most appreciated.
