To clarify the following prices it is recommended that you read the article in the BLUE box below

Cost to Fit / Remove a Bay Window

Prices

These prices are based on a tradesman’s rate of £150 per day and a labourer if required at £100 per day. They include the cost of buying and collecting any materials, dumping any waste if necessary and any incidental materials they will need.

(The minimum price will usually be for a half day)


Job 1
Replace an existing window with a flat roofed “square” bay. This will have a lead roof and PVCu windows. The foundation will not be problem and a new gulley isn’t necessary. The inside will be finished ready for decoration, with an insulated concrete floor.

This will take 2 men 8 days.

Labour………£2000, skip…….£200, materials………£1275, …………..£3475.00


Job 2
If you want a pitched tiled roof add………£375.00


Job 3
If you want an angled or semi-circular bay add………..£250.00

A Price Guide and Information Sheet on Fitting and Installing a Bay Window

General Bay Window Information

If you want a bay window, think about the following...

Will it be downstairs only? Will the roof be pitched or flat? Will it be semi-circular, angled or “square”? Will its windows match the rest of the house? Will the masonry below match the rest of the house?

The job will probably entail removing an existing (front) window and the masonry below it. This will allow you to use the existing lintol. If you want a wider opening, fitting a wider lintol will cost a fair bit.

It may need planning permission? It will have to be overseen by a building control surveyor.

Combined, the cost for these two services could be around £350.

If you have a flat roof consider having it leaded. It costs more of course but lasts forever.

If a pitched roof, try and match it to the main roof covering.

Building control will probably want the new roof's rainwater to end up in a gulley not just empty onto the garden. If you have to fit a new one it could be expensive.

Have a look at cost to clean replace or fit a new gulley.
