Replacing internal doors

rickwhite

Can anybody give me an idea on the cost of replacing some internal doors.
I live in the North West and have a quote of £400 to supply and fit four new doors. Its verbal at the moment but its due in the post this week.
The doors (panelled) are £25 each for three and one with glass for £35. Added to this are fittings (handles and hinges for each door) coming to around £215 total for materials. This leaves just short of £200 for the labour.
Is this reasonable for the fitting costs for four doors?

I have more work quoted for also, including boxing in a boiler, a new banister on the stairs and a built in wardrobe but the door part of the quote will give me an idea of the overall labour cost etc.

Thanks in advance.

I would say £50 per door is a good price if they are done to a good standard and not just "slapped in the 'ole"

I fit doors for a local door stripping company and they pay me £75 per door - but they are all old wonky doors, going into old wonky houses!

I think that is reasonable. Ask yourself, could you do it yourself, if yes.. do it yourself. If no, pay the money out.

Hi
Thanks for the good responses.
I've just been phoning round for some other ballpark quotes and someone wanted £80 to fit all four doors (if i supply the doors and fittings etc).
Sounds liek a bargain but I'm reluctant to go cheaper if it results in a poorer job.
Thanks

The type of doors i fit, i normally do 2 per day and i know i wouldn't work for £40 per day!

However, if they all fit the holes perfectly and don't need any messing with they could all be done in a day - still sounds too cheap though!
