Takes 2 months until i know if i can go ahead.

The price of windows is frightening!

(sorry responding to the wrong post here, but can't see George's post in
my feed)

It can be worth finding a maker of them to talk to, rather that a
traditional vendor of windows. I found when I did my loft conversion[1]
I got some quotes for several thousand initially. A bit of shopping
about got that down to about £1k, then eventually I founds a window
manufacturer in Romford that was happy to supply builders etc directly,
and that got the price down to £570

[1] that was for Building Regs 2002 Part L compliant with Low E glass
and trickle vents.

Window 1 €“ clear glass (MOE) 1800mm x 1200mm:
3 panel window with outer two panels being opening casement, centre
window fixed, with fanlight to top of centre window. .

Window 2 €“ obscure glass 1200mm x 1050mm:
1 fixed window with full width fanlight to top.

Window 3 €“ clear glass 550mm x 1050mm:
1 casement window with fanlight to top.

(note those prices are 18 years old now - so ignore the absolute
numbers, and look at the differences!)
