Secondary double glazing - do these seem reasonable prices?

[Chris Green]

My daughter has an old victorian house with sash windows. She has just got a quote for installing some secondary double glazing and she's wondering how reasonable it is (it seemed a bit much to her but my feeling is that it's not too bad).

The prices are for supplying and fitting 'vertical slider, counterbalanced 4mm toughened glass' secondary units.

For two about 1.3m x 2m they are about £500 each For two about 0.5m x 2m ther are about £380 each

Prices ex VAT, total for four windows, installed is £2140.

Seem reasonable?

From the v few I've seen over the years seems the right ballpark for London at least.

Off your topic but I'll offer that worth checking she (or her staff!) will be able to clean the windows - i.e. /full/ sliding and a big enough gap to reach in and clean; or tilt as well as slide; or easily removable

- in practice not just in theory, bearing in mind weight.

If secondary glazing (needed to reduce noise drastically) they will be fitted some way from the main glazing. So not too difficult to clean. They usually lift out of the frames too, although will be heavy.
