These are illustrative examples of typical frontage and whole-house jobs on Sevenoaks houses, smallest first. They are not records of particular jobs. Each total is a range for that kind of house and specification, supplied and fitted, including VAT, with making good inside and out and removal of the old frames.
Your written quote after the survey is the price you pay. Rotten sills, damaged brick arches and bay supports are priced at the survey. Scaffold is included where shown; on larger houses it is confirmed at the survey.
Two of the examples are the same Vine Court Road house, priced in uPVC and in timber, so you can see the difference on one building.

Listed Georgian house near Westerham Green: six timber sashes
A listed Georgian brick house of the polite 18th-century kind the Westerham appraisal describes around the Green and up Vicarage Hill. Listed building consent is needed, and the conservation officer will expect timber.
- Six timber box sashes on weights and pulleys, six-over-six with slim putty-line bars
- Painted white, with slim double glazing only where consent allows it
- First coat of paint due around year three, then at regular intervals; the installer does not repaint, so this falls to the owner
