Default had my windows done.. bargain or not ?

I've just had my windows and doors done for me, I've paid 2k for the
front and back doors and 4 windows ( 3 about 1200*1600 and 1 was about
1200*700 ) I must admit I thought this was quite a reasonable price so
only got the one quote. Another company I spoke to on the phone were
talking about £700 just for one door.. The thing is trying to work out
where the money has gone .. I reckon all the materials can't have cost
more than 1200-1400.. so three blokes get 600-800 quid for a day...
not a bad whack really is it ? They are made by Veka.. seems like a
good make, any one know ?

It's nice having it all done in one day and I'm sitting here lovely and
warm now !

If the fitters have done a good job and the windows and doors are good
quality then I think you got a good deal. In my experience the fitters
usually get about £100 each a day gross, so about £65 a day after tax, NICs
etcetera.
