Composite door quote

Hi,

I’ve recently had a quote of c£1500 to have a composite door, with a small side panel, supplied and installed. Does this seem about right or too high?

    We paid £800 for a composite front door and the same for a back door about 6 1/2 years ago, without a side panel.  Brand was DoorStop I think.  We are in the South East. I’d say given how prices have gone crazy recently it’s about right.

    I had a trade price 2 weeks ago, composite door and side panel , ££1150 supply only or £1620 fitted.
    so your quote is fair . People forget it cost money and time to dispose of waste.
    A thankyou is payment enough .
