That's my mothers house /emoticons/biggrin.png

 

[Natty1972]

No seriously . Why have a house that's size then try to get undercutters

So what they really wanted was someone to do it cheaper than the other guy.

Instead of wasting your time how come you did not find that out first of all by asking simple direct questions.

Are they proper georgians or the frames inside the glass?

im not sure why i was asked. all the windows are divided and i actually thought id underpriced it a tad ,felt a little bit sick in case i got it!

what was weird was when i drove up to the place and found the electric gates shut,a fellow in a big jeep suddenly drove out of a back entrance,stopped and told me to go away as nobody was home ,come back monday he said forcefully. but i didnt go, i rang the house and the lady who had invited me to quote let me in and was nice as pie .

cmon lads what would ur price be? 3 sides much the same as the one in the photo and 1 side less glass

I could only say that if it was me I would want £200 minimum, but knowing the way people like that operate I probably wouldn't get it, but I would rather do smaller houses anyway.

 

[Natty1972]

I'm guessing there are a lot more glass around the back and sides If that was offered to me as a quote in my neck of the woods I would quote £200 wfp ...

Wife really enjoyed the 5 day's away with me and is recovering well from the operation. Fingers crossed the hospital will give us good news tomorrow about the tumour that was removed from her neck. Thanks for asking:thumbsup:

Considering you're working with a crew boar, you might still be ok on that price. Sometimes I find its worth just going for it, and if you are back in 3 months the clean won't be nearly as hard as the first-could end up being a good earner and it will save a load of petrol too. Btw, what are you planning to do about those top windows?

Edit, just remembered you didn't get it. But I have a hunch you might still get a call for it anyway.

 

[rshandyman]

How would you do these windows on top of the roof trad method?

 

[boarcity]

the top windows was goin to send somebod up inside to reach out. the lady of the house was fine about that. as we stood chatting i thought the windows looked clean already

my workers later told me iv never sounded like thomas which was a bit of a downer , better to be honest tho before i learnt a few lines only to be told im sh/t by the posh kids

Big house and reach people usually want many extras free of charge
