Sod that.
When I did mine it cost a couple of hundred quid.
Measured the holes, got the windows made somewhere down in England and
brought back by someone who was coming up anyway.
They're easy enough to put in. Just knock out the old window, put the
new frame in and wedge it, drill through the edge of the frame with a
masonary bit and into the wall, bang in a rawl plug and screw in a screw,
repeat a few times.
Run round the edge with silicone from one of them tubes and smooth it with
a wet finger then put the window units into the frame (hint-if it's a bit
tight don't use a hammer).
Then go out and spend most of the several thousand pounds you save on
whisky and women and just squander the rest.
