We paid £1200 fully fitted inclusive of vat and additional top glass panel....18 months ago

I would guess you might be better off getting a quote for supply and fit rather than just supply only....
What costs have you been quoted for fitting?

none yet, I presumed my builder would fit it?

was yours a door and glass windows either side?

LEJC · 14 August 2014 at 1:41PM

No windows either side but a custom made top panel in glass ....I am aware that the unique design I choose put the price up by £100

I wouldnt assume that a standard builder would fit the door either...in my experience it is usually much better to have a supply and fit quote.that way there can be no confusion about the sizing etc when the builder goes to fit it and its not quite the right size!!!

Different rated systems of composite doors .all to do with ratings, locks ,insulation . a grand isn't overpriced supply only but look at it this way . If its a grand to you I might get it for £800 because I deal with the company often and charge you £250 to fit then you get it fitted for the same price and you can buy it . Sometimes its not always cheaper to price around yourself . e.g I have a cash account at GAP plastic . I am happy for people I know to use my account and pay for it there and then because to more I spend the bigger the discount it get so the cheaper I get it .
P.S to answer your question £1050 isn't really overpriced for a composite combi door .
