    depends on the sizes can you list them in mm here and we can get a few quotes for you?

    serious: a door is anything between £150 and £500 depending on the design i reckon between £2500 and £3500 assuming none are bay windows

      I would suggest a door would be 500-800.
      Can you re-use the frames and just replace the sealed units ? That would be the cheaper solution and can be as little as 150 per unit.

          £35,000 but if you sign up now, I can do you a 50% discount price of £17,500 for the lot. You have to sign up now though.

            Don't bother. Keep the cash for booze.

              I've just ordered a couple to replace existing in our kitchen. Going down the DIY route at first. If i can do it, winner! If not, i've only wasted <£400 (exc. delivery) and will get the pros in

              You need to read up on the building regs if doing yourself, and get a building inspector to check it all. Not everyone's cup of tea.

                These clowns have been around to give me a quote too. F-ing Safestyle UK

                  I replaced 5 windows and a door with a local firm for around 1.5K. I reckon yours would be about 2 to 2.5K depending on if there are any reliable and honest window fitters near where you live.
