Wanting to fit them ourselves is almost as bigger stumbling block as our location. Lots of them really don’t like that.

I have perused companies online before where you design your own windows with sizes , openings etc and it gives you an instant price? Not sure about delivery to Mull though. but can't see why not?

At moment I’ve just been looking at Scottish based ones. But as most of them won’t deliver here with or without installation. I don’t hold out much hope for further afield.
Having said that our tin for the roof is coming from Somerset with their own company courier because even with their £800 delivery it was still cheaper than any local companies.

Not sure about delivery to Mull though. but can't see why not? Manly because they don’t want to! I’ve looked at one of those companies this morning. Don’t deliver usual here but would if circumstances were right for them. Also as far as I can see on the website I was viewing they don’t do pointy windows. And limited on style & colour choices.

Bobs finished putting the lead on the roof.
Hopefully the tin will be here this week. It gets delivered to Glasgow tomorrow. The pick up and brought of to us by the local building supplier and delivery company.

We’d like triple if budget will allow.

Yeah we’re looking at upvc double or triple. We’d like triple if budget will allow. We had to do single glazed here... but they did allow me to use double glazing in my roof light.
I would try very small firms... they love the unusual.
