Does this sound fair for installing french doors?

I agree, two days job minimum I would say. More like 3 or even 4.

Hi

I am looking to replace a window with French Doors and have had a quite for £1,300 to remove old window, cut down brickwork, install new UPVC patio door with Georgian bars, plaster.

Do you think this is fair?

Ha - half a day!! I almost fell of my chair

Both prices seems reasonable to me (Tricia's and nicksta's)

Not sure if the quote is reasonable but to give you an idea of the time involved I just installed 1800mm Solid Oak doors in my property replacing a standard door.

Doors cost £675 inc delivery. Steel lintel cost £120.

Took 2 of us approximately one day to knock hole through wall, insert lintel and make good the opening. It then took 2 of us about 4 hours to install the door and then about an hours plastering to make good the walls.

I would expect a skilled person to do this quciker. Why not provide all the materials/door yourself and just get a quote for labour?

upvc french doors £300 1.2m wide standard size
approx £400-500 if made to measure

and maybe 2 days labour

wouldn`t pay no more then £1000
