I was wondering if anyone here has ever installed their own double
glazing? If so, how did you get on doing so, and what experience did
you have before doing so?

When we got ours, we were going to DIY. But the (very nice) glasing
company quoted £350 to fit all 8 windows. It took 4 of them just under a
day to do it, all for £350. They even cleaned up afterwards, and fixed
any render that fell off on the outside.

At that price, I would've been mad to do it myself.

Amazing price for that lot. Quality presumably ok? (How does one tell how good
the quality anyway I wonder). Oh - and who are they :-)



Mike,

I think that's just for fixing them. 8-)

They were billing their time at about £11/hour. wages probably £6 or
£7. So definitely do-able.
