Doors, windows and iromongery priced and put in context

Words:
David Holmes

David Holmes, associate at AECOM, provides supply and fix costs for a range of commercial and industrial doors and windows

The market for doors and windows in the UK is estimated to be around £6 billion. Demand is largely driven by construction output with both the newbuild and repair and maintenance sectors achieving significant market share. With the Green Deal rollout extended to end-March 2022, to encourage homeowners to upgrade energy saving components,  financial and environmental benefits will contribute to the market’s overall value.
 
UK manufacturers work hard to provide new products for the market, but this does not significantly increase customer demand because of the long replacement cycle of doors and windows.
 
The following rates include prices for the supply and hang of doors and windows, complete with all frames, architrave, typical medium standard ironmongery set and appropriate finish.
