Door supply and fit

Paully28

Hi, 
How does this seem for a quoted price.
Supply and fit rock door, and glass panel at the side, including all door furniture. £2008. 
NW England
Thanks Paul

I would expect to pay £300-500 for an external door (depending on type & quality). £150-200 for fitting, and £300 or so for building regs sign off & insurance backed guarantee. Depending on the size of the side panel, another £200-300.

£2K sounds well over the top - I'd strongly recommend getting some local independent installers round to give you a quote.

I use a local sole trader for my windows - Whilst not the cheapest on the block, he does a very good job and still undercuts the bigger outfits (also uses good quality frames).

Thanks for the reply, that was with a local fitter and not one of the big national chains. 
I am getting a few more quotes so we will see what they all say.

Paul , Difficult to say but you're not being rinsed at 2k . Good to see you are staying or trying to stay local . You could send me a pic of what you have and what you want Maybe I could help . I'm north west based and already forgot you've already been quoted 2k .

Thanks for the advice all I have been given 4 quotes of between £2343 (plus the cost of any door furniture, handles, letterbox etc), down to £1448 (all inclusive). For supply and fit of the door I want. 
Just shows how much difference shopping around makes.

always good to shop around , probably the best advice I have heard and given to my kids . Rock door if it is a rock are getting slated recently in the trade but people call composite doors rock doors . any colour and white outer (white inner ) & average side panel about 400mm/600mm wide . 1500 is a decent enough price . about average or slightly above but not being privy to any work involved its not a bad one .

You will not get a composite door of  any quality for 300 and pushing average quality for 500 , My cheapest style cost me trade £460 and more so lately 625 seems to be a common price I am being charged , side frame extra

It is definitely a Rock door I am wanting and getting quotes on as I have chosen it from their own website and given the spec/design a door to each of the companies.
