    I want to replace a window at the side of my house with a double patio door and also replace a garage door with a window. I have the door & window got and the blocks etc. Had someone price it today at 1000 - 1200 cash add 21%on if i pay through the books, is this alot as there seems to be only a couple of days work in it.

    Hi,

    The numbers don't look right, are you supplying all the tools and a labourer, grinder kango etc ?

    With the times that are in it that is not a contractors price considering that at least two trades and a labourer are needed

    Also the vat element is wrong, registered contractors charge 13.5% vat for the supply of goods and services not 21%.

    .

    I have been doing and getting a lot of work done to my house over the last
    year and dont part with my hard earned too readily but the price you have described provided the work is done properly and finished to a good / high standard does not appear on the surface to be unreasonable .

    Yep, I agree, even seems cheap to me. Got a few quotes for just replacing 3 windows, bedroom between 1800 and 2200. No new construction...

    Ooops, just noticed... the price your talking about is just installation, you already have the door and window
