New pane of glass

flasher0030

A couple of months ago, one of my kids broke their grandparents window in Mayo. Normal window - double glazing. It cost €100 to replace.

Some weeks later, I broke a window in our own place. It's a relatively small window. Double glazing. But this time I was quoted over €300 by a local handy man. I asked around a little, and was was advised that Dublin Versus Mayo prices. But surely it cannot be that much of a difference.

What am I missing. Are the window fixing service providers ripping us off in the capital? Is there anyone who does these things in the capital at a normal price. I have seen these panes of glass getting replace. It takes about a half hour. And I'm sure the glass costs no more than €20.

If you want to be ripped off then head to Dublin. Not only is it the capital of the country but its also the capital of rip offs. As I see it even the ordinary decent handy man or some of the trades who in the past charged a respectable price are now all in the rip off bandwagon. Unfortunately this has led to the decent people of Dublin no longer having a choice.
