It’s important to keep in mind that the price for secondary glazing will vary according to the kinds and numbers of windows you have, as well as their sizes.
A single window of typical size can have secondary glazing installed for anywhere from £400 onwards.

You will also have to account for the thickness of the glass, which can make a difference in the price.
