vs UK average
A window fitter working in South West typically charges £220–£380 a day (£28–£48 an hour), ex VAT — right on the UK average. Broadly the national average, with two markets in one: steady town-and-city work, plus coastal renovation demand from second homes and holiday lets that pays a premium in season.
Replacement windows are quoted per unit installed, with the day rate underneath for odd jobs and remedials. Heritage and timber sash work is a different market from uPVC replacements, with rates to match.
