What moves the price in Cornwall
- Travel is real here: a firm based in Truro prices west Cornwall work higher because of the distance.
- Granite and cob cottages need bespoke frames and much more careful making good.
- Sea exposure is county-wide, so marine-grade hardware should be treated as standard rather than an upgrade.
- Labour rates are not uniform: work in Truro and Falmouth is usually priced differently from the more rural parts of the county.
- How many installers genuinely cover your postcode. Dense coverage means competitive quotes; thin coverage means you pay for travel time.
The local housing stock
Granite and rendered cottages, Victorian terraces in the mining towns, and a large stock of 1970s to 1990s bungalows and holiday properties.
What to check on a Cornwall quote
- FENSA or CERTASS registration number, verified independently, since you may need the certificate when you sell.
- Scaffolding shown as included or separately priced, particularly on two-storey and bay work.
- Making good defined: plaster repair, architraves and external pointing.
- Consent position confirmed in writing if the property is in a conservation area or listed.
- Guarantee length with named insurance backing, not just a promise.
How to get a fair Cornwall price
Three quotes for the same written specification, all from firms registered to work in your postcode, is the reliable method. Ask each installer for the same make and model of frame and glass, the same hardware grade and the same scope for making good, otherwise the totals you compare are not comparable at all. Take the highest and lowest out of the decision and compare the middle quote against both on scope rather than on headline price.
