If you\u2019re planning on fitting a new window, you might be wondering: what will the cost be? Here\u2019s a rough guide to the costs of window fitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to help reduce the costs of window fittings, such as buying windows with fewer windows and add an inner spacer or facia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The best things to look out for are: Low-pitch vs. high-pitched window frames It\u2019s important to work out which one of these frames you are likely to need and what size they will be, as a low-pitch window will save you the most space. This doesn\u2019t mean that the only low-pitched window you can fit will be the typical 8\u2033 (203mm) one, as there are very large variations in window sizes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smaller windows On the other hand, small window frames are generally cheaper to fit \u2013 especially if the option of adding an inner spacer or facia is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Replacement glazing is a pricey process. The initial cost is covered by the building owner (the council) on their lease agreement, but additional work \u2013 such as fitting a glass slider on the inside of the existing double glazing \u2013 can be paid for individually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Higher-end replacement glazing costs can range from \u00a31,500 to \u00a320,000 per window. These costs are dependent on the type of glazing, the layout and location of the window. Fortunately, it\u2019s often not possible to fit all the windows you want to replace during one full-scale fitting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two most expensive types of frame that will need replacing are the one-piece frames (which are made of metal) and sliding frames (which are made of glass). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re planning on replacing a one-piece window frame with one that\u2019s comprised of metal, you can expect to pay between \u00a3250 and \u00a3350, and if you replace a sliding frame frame with one that\u2019s made of glass, you\u2019ll pay anything between \u00a3250 and \u00a3750.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Considering that you might need to pay more to fix a problem window than it would cost to replace it with the best fit, it\u2019s advisable to fix any damage as soon as you see it.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t
