Our flat is the lower one of the two duplex flats in the middle of the
block, i.e. its windows are the bottom four windows under the upper
duplex flat's balcony.

So what sort of ball-park figure are we looking at to get all four
windows replaced with double glazing? All the windows are are floor
to ceiling and the downstairs one on the right has a door onto the
balcony.

A few thousand pounds I guess, tens of thousands?

Also, any recommendations for companies to do the work?


All the other windows are an identical style, so I suspect the
freeholder of the block was involved in their installation and
may insist that you use their preferred installer - maybe.

No, we're the freeholders (the flat leaseholders), I am going to ask
what companies the other owners used.


It would be nice if you could install windows near the outside
of those projecting walls and extend your flat. That would need
freeholder approval plus building regs and wouldn't be cheap but
most of the cost would be the windows anyway and you are
already prepared to replace them.

Well away from London I would estimate the two smaller ones at
about £1500-£1750 each and £2500-£3000 for each of the larger
ones. Geting close to £10K, but that is well outside London.
