How does it work on the Isle of Wight?
On the Isle of Wight, the usual route is the same wherever you are: a measured survey, an itemised quotation, then fitting at a time that suits the shop. Towns we cover include Newport, Ryde, Cowes and Sandown. Newport, Ryde and Cowes are the main towns, Sandown and Shanklin have Victorian seaside streets, and there is salt air throughout.
What should you think about first?
What affects the price most?
Width, the number of doors, glass type and any strip-out. A second door or a laminated upgrade moves the figure more than the colour does.
How is the frontage measured?
We measure the structural opening, not the old frame. Lintel condition, floor level and how square the opening is all get recorded at survey.
Which glass should go in?
Safety glass is needed in doors, side panels and low-level panes. Laminated glass is worth the extra if the street has a history of break-ins.
How much will it cost?
