Advantages: Big savings

Disadvantages: Have to fit it yourself

We had our old metal windows replaced with double glazed ones a couple of years ago. It's amazing the difference it makes in reducing droughts and noise.

At the same time we asked for quotes on a pair of French doors and a front door priced at £1000 and £600. We turned this down as were amazed at how expensive they would be.

We found a pair of upvc double glased French doors at B&Q warehouse, a bargain at £320, we spent a further £15 on fixings and sealant. They were fairly straightforward to fit and saved us £680 on the original price, well worth the effort.

A upvc front door was found at Wickes for £180, again this was straightforward to fit and saved £420. The quality of both is very good and have had no problems with them.

Provided the original doors are a standard size you will be suprised at just how much you could save over the made to measure ones.

Even if you have to pay someone to fit them you will still be saving a lot of money.

Provided you are careful when fitting repalcement windows they are quite straightforward. I replaced a small downstairs metal toilet window with a double glazed upvc one.Took a couple of hours to remove the old and fit the new but a lot cheaper than getting someone in.
I agree about the ridiculous prices quoted by some companies.

B&Q warehouse do standard size windows, most local glass companies will be able to quote for made to measure upvc replacement as supply only or I found the Exchange & Mart to have a few companies advertising supply only.

Here here, when my old metal framed bathroom window cracked & replacing the glass was not an option as the frame had rusted so badly, not being able to afford the ridiculios prices quoted for replacement my husband did it for a total cost of £100, it was easy too!
