Xtremedoor Composite Front Door Quote

Hi All,

Just had a sales person round from a home improvements company in the south of the UK quote me £1700 including fitting for a composite front door made by Xtremedoor (Vista Panels). Apparently this was their best price after doing the classic 'I'll phone the office' trick.

Is this a fair price for a composite front door or should I expect to be paying a lot less?

Thanks

Luke

    The going rate for Composite doors seems to upwards of £1200.

    I'm paying £1300 for a Rockdoor, but that's with a discount for having it done with new windows as well.

    I'm hoping nobody tries to kick my shiny new door in after it's installed & that the dog leaves it alone:eek:

    Door stop are in Huthwaite Nottinghamshire just of Junction 28 of the M1, I was looking at having one of their doors but looked at the reviews on Trustpilot and other online portals and they were awful.
    I have had a numbe of quotes and a number of fitters said stay well clear of Doorstop
