How much will internal doors cost?

Penny-Pincher!!

Hi Guys!

I have just won my charges back from Natwest and received cheque this morning. There are a few things that I would like to get done, but the bulk will go towards my debt which should be paid in June:D

I am after 3 internal wooden doors for upstairs (2 x bedrooms and 1 x bathroom). I would like to wax them up, so would need to be untreated.

I have been told that B&Q have a value range for about £20 a door-is this correct as it seems ever so cheap?

Any advice?

Thanks

I'd stay away from B&Q value doors, we got them for our new house and the split and cracked and warped very badly, just my opinion though others may have better experience with them, they also feel quite light and flimsy, e.g if you are in a room in the dark and there is a light on in the hall you can see the light coming through knots and weak parts in the wood

i was going to recommend the internal doors from wickes - very good value for money but they come ready to be painted so no good if you want a natural finish. However should you change your mind and go for white doors, check them out. We are really pleased with ours.

We've got 4 B&Q doors in our house no cracks/splits like CL has had though you do need to look through the lot to pick ones without knots that appear to filled in with glue .You do have to climatise them to your house for a few days to stop them warping (but check before you buy as they do have warped doors on sale).£20 may seem cheap for the door but by the time you've got the hinges,handles etc .and decorated them they work out about £40 each.
Bit of advice for CL depending on how long ago you bought the doors you should see about taking them back as they don't sound fit for purpose.

wickes everytime for cheapo doors.
15 quid for white 6 panel ones. 20 squid for knotty pine 6 panel ones.

We're just buying our first home and are having the doors replaced. Our neighbour is a joiner so can get them through the company he works for.

We're buying ones that protect against sound & fire a bit more than your average doors, 6 panel solid grained ones at £26.99 each. You can get your bog standard hollow doors for about £15 each.

I think it depends on what kind of quality you require... We decided to spend out on the more expensive ones because we like the idea of having solid wooden doors rather than hollow thin ones and we'll hopefully be at the house a fair while!

Hi, sorry to be lazy but could you link to the doors that you're talking about? I don't think I'm searching the right place somehow.

I'm looking to replace 5 interior doors, looking to paint them white (or if already white then grand )

I need them pretty cheap but I have noted that people have said the hollow cheap doors obviosuly aren't as good at keeping out noise, I don't need them that soundproofed but to what extent do they keep out noise?

Here's the Wickes ones

The moulded ones aren't going to be awful, they're used in the majority of homes as far as I know! The look fine, which is the main thing really
