Count the glass, frames and extras
A bay can contain several sections of glazing, while doors, porches and rooflights add openings a bedroom count does not describe. Send front and rear photographs and say whether you want the frames and sills included. Confirm whether the price is for one visit or a recurring round.

Include additions to the original house
A garage, lean-to, conservatory or rear extension may add glass and gutters while reducing the working space below upstairs windows. Include those additions in the same set of photographs. Ask whether their roofs, gutter runs and downpipes are included in each proposal.
