patio door

Hello all. we have now moved into our first home and would like to put a patio door where it is currently just brick to allow more light to come into the room.

I am unsure which companies offer this service and what sort of cost this will be including installing it (and removing bricks!)

any advise would be great
thanks

    Id go with a local builder, sounds like you will need a longer lintel above door - im sure some door/window companies will offer this service - but all they will do is get a loacl builder to do this side of the work for them. So cut the middle man out ( a general builder will easliy fit patio doors). if this makes sence!?!

    As for cost I would think £1000 would cover everything labour/door/lintel/making good etc
