cost of new backdoor

Sportacus

A local firm with a good reputation are quoting £850 for a new UPVC backdoor - is this fair?

That's expensive.


Just had a quote for a new Upvc door leading to the garage and that was £440. Same company fitted my front door and rear doors for the same price a year ago.

Sportacus

thanks, do you know how much of the £440 was the cost of the door and how much was fitting? I can see a upvc backdoor in screwfix for £300 and it has good reviews. I'm willing to stretch for a better door, but don't want to be ripped off on labour.

Sorry I don't know the breakdown of costs.


Where are you based as the company I used are east mids. Try looking at Crown Windows (John Cox) or TruFrame - basically they're the same company.

I'm down in hampshire. I wonder if it's worth having a crack at installing the door myself - I guess the hard bit is getting the frame right

You can buy some doors complete with the frame. These cost £200-350ish but then its down to you to fit / get fitted.

You dont have to accept the first quote... we had our front door done a couple of years ago...the first price quoted was £900 , I told him he must be joking second price under £700 with skylight.....

That's higher than safestyle quoted me......so must be expensive!! You should be looking for around £500 IMO.

A small local company should be around the £400-£600 mark
