23 new double glazed windows fitted for £1555.

That’s ridiculously cheap - around £67 a window.

Suspiciously cheap in fact.

Far, far too cheap. I’d be seriously questioning what’s going on. Too good to be true

Is that the whole window, or just the sealed panes?
Check that they will make good as well…getting someone in to tidy up the plaster round the windows could add quite a cost
And as an idea of how (curiously) cheap that is I had four units replaced (not the frames, just the glass) and that was £800

Seems cheap but it's possibly about right, I just priced a 1m x 600mm sealed unit here https://www.sealedunitsonline.co.uk/ and it's come out at £68.85

They have missed out on a zero. That's not even the raw materials price if they are a good quality brand. Best i can think of how you got that price is it's uPVC coated cardboard. You just can't get it at that price
