Double Glazed Window
I live in a bungalow. The window in my bedroom is one which does not open. If there was a fire while I was in bed I would be trapped as there is no way out only the front door which is down a corridor and which could be cut off. I am thinking about having the existing window removed and a new one put in which would have a window that opens on one side. All the window installers seem to be rip-off artists. Has anyone experience of a good one who doesn't charge the earth?

"Means of Escape" is a part of modern Building Regs but probably wasn't considered when your bungalow was built.
You just need a good handyman/builder for the new window. These days there are plenty of uPVC merchants who make up windows to your exact size and requirements.
Not a big job at all to swap them over.
