Hiring a window fitter in Sligo

New windows and doors are made to measure, so the job is a survey, an order with a lead time of several weeks, then a day or two of fitting. Repairs — misted units, broken handles, locks that will not turn — are usually same-week work.

Window and door upgrades can be part of an SEAI-supported energy upgrade, which changes who you can hire: the contractor must be on SEAI’s register.

Rules and grants that apply in County Sligo

Grants

SEAI lists grants of up to €4,000 for windows and up to €1,600 for doors as part of its home energy upgrade grants.

  • Check eligibility on SEAI’s grant pages before ordering: grants apply to specific schemes and house ages.
  • Use a contractor on SEAI’s register and get grant approval before any work starts — work begun before approval is not grant-aided.
  • The grant must be drawn down within eight months of the offer, and a BER by a registered assessor after the works is required (SEAI contributes €50 towards it).

What window and door fitters in Sligo cost, and why

What jobs on Talqero came to

Not enough comparable jobs yet to publish a range here. Talqero shows a price range only once at least five comparable jobs, agreed prices or offers exist — a range from fewer would describe a handful of jobs, not the market. Post your job and compare the offers you get.

What affects the price

  • Number and size of openings
  • Material: uPVC, aluminium, timber or composite; double or triple glazing
  • Making good reveals, sills and plaster
  • Security hardware and glass specification
  • VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.
