Cost for 1 window (2 sashes) £600 + VAT

Does this sound reaonable?

No. It is a bloody good wage for a site joiner self employed working 6
days.

Why don't you take your next one apart and see how much needs replacing.

What I would do is just shove a couple of stock casements in the box and
put a couple of nail-holes for the one I wanted to open as rquired to be
supported by pegs as and when.

If he is using plain red pine stock timber and standard mouldings not
copying exactly your mouldings (which he has the cutters for, in stock
now, anyway) and any other specials, he's no better than the friend of
one of the recent posters here who got a boiler replaced for an handsome
exchange of shekels considering it was a "foreigner".
