edited 13 January 2021 at 9:24PM in Is this quote fair?
Just received a quote through from a local company to get my doors replaced. The front door is composite, the rear door is uPVC with full glazing (although I may reduce this to half glazed) with a small half-height side panel, and a set of French doors.
The quote came in at just over £3,500 fully fitted. Is this fair?
Edit: For clarity this is the only quote I have, as it's a bit more difficult to get people out at the moment. I'd also rather avoid Safestyle and the national companies after hearing bad reviews

    Price around and I am pleased you're avoiding the big firms . My price would be around £2800/3000 depending on the amount of work to make good . Priced depending on your choice and colour of the comp . but 1000/800/1000 in that order , £3500 isn't overpriced . its about ok with the country in geeral
