Looking for a ball park figure as I have no idea if it should cost £100
or £500.
Window apprx 46 x 70 inches wooden.
Want to replace frame and window with PVC double (possibly triple) glazed..
Located on 1st floor but presume can be done from inside.
I will put out an ad in gumtree or similar so not going through the
major companies hoping this should be cheaper.
Located central Scotland.

Any thoughts on costs.

Online quote for supply only (I doubt transport from bedford to scotland
is feasible)

or compare to off-the-peg sizes in wickes, e.g. this is approximately
your size

Thanks Andy I will also try for some online quotes nearer home.
I should also have said `and to get it fitted` so labour costs also.

Size is not a big cost driver. A frame within a frame means 8 corner welds
- that is a major cost driver.

Find a local window fabricator and ask if they can recommend a small local
tradesman that they supply to.

Have a look at windowsanddoors.co.uk for unit prices.

Yes, generally fitting can be done from the inside (mostly).

Not sure where you are, but I have used William Windows
(http://williamswindows-clydebank.co.uk/home/1796542) several times over
the last few years.

They have their own workshop/factory and make anything to measure/your
specification- many local building firms use them.

They are honest and very reasonably priced.
