    Have to say had I known doors were going to get worse I would not have ordered the car with a deposit.
    Anyway done now & nothing I can do about it.
    It is what it is.

    How much are the doors? Are you replacing them totally or just the glazing unit?

    First quote was £800+
    This is to replace totally.
    Joiner not convinced that taking doors apart & replacing unit would go well.

    We were told to pay at least £800 for patio doors to ensure decent quality so the price doesn't surprise me at all.

    It's probably safer to replace the door(s).

    I asked a company for a quote for a new front door. They quoted £1200. The old door works just fine for now thank you :(

    :)
    Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
    Mortgage today = £166,457.86
    300 282 payments to go.
    House buyout fund £3,261.67/£40,000
    Random Pick Fridays = £80.01
