Loo.k in your local paper, there's always lots of adverts in mine, approx cost average £400-£450 fitted, or £199-£299 +vat unfitted. Ask friends for recommendations.

It might be cheaper for now if funds are low to get some draft proofing around the door frames and fit a storm guard at the bottom if you haven't got one already.

I no when we had a wooden door it did the trick however we now have a UPVC but they still have storm guards to prevent water penetration.

B&Q sell UPVC doors to fit. If not confident I am sure a local trademan would fit it for a fee. Not sure how good they are, but with UPVC yo can get waht you paid for some cheapo one goes yellow aftre a few years, usually made of recycle plastic. Virgin plastic is the best but as its new.

Where is it leaking?
Our back door was letting rain in at the bottom of the door in heavy rain:eek: . On inspection I found 2 lots of 3 drain holes in the bottom door frame that were blocked so the rain was flowing into the house instead of through these drain holes to the outside. A good poke with a nail and squirt of water cleared the blockage and solved the problem.:j

Thats also a valid point erb. Often they do have drainage holes to allow access water out. Hope you get sorted

on our new door i asked why the two small holes were left uncapped and that is the reason to allow rain water to excape.he also told me to check them yearly to be sure they remain unblocked
