Removing Patio Doors

I have external patio doors INSIDE the house. I think the extension was just built on the back with the existing patio doors left where they are.

Enlisted a pal to help me remove at the weekend but just couldn't work out how to do it. Reluctantly (had really bad experiences with tradesmen ,usually not turning up to finish having been paid in advance) going to have to call in a professional.

Any idea what kind of professional - joiner? builder? And any ideas how much? Live in Central Scotland

(one of the reasons I have to remove them is very expensive wooden floor buckling just at site of patio door - don't even want to think about that at the moment!)

  • Just get a sledgehammer and smash em out. Then unscrew the frame
    This country is called Great Britain. It would be called Amazing Britain if it wasn't for people like you pulling the average down

    That sounds a bit scary for a 9st girlie!

    they do feel a bit solid - not sure that would work.... I thought I could unscrew the frame and remove the glass panels but the frame appears to be a solid unit, and couldn't be removed..
