New composite door costs?

Hi, I’m renovating my current property and would like to get a new composite front door. 

How much should I expect to pay for labour and materials for a composite door with a long bar handle, peephole and letterbox?

If anyone is familiar with the costs around this then I can put some money aside for this while I’m budgeting.

  • depends who you choose . My price about 1400ish standard . no top light or sides . standard internal and external finish 
  • We had one fitted about 4 years ago - composite door with window above, no peephole, but with letterbox - cost about £1,200.

    We had a half glazed cottage style composite door, with a fitted window blind fitted last year for £1350. We also had a fully glazed Solidor fitted for £1500, they quoted about £1700 but I managed to knock our installer down as we are having a big order of windows and other doors.
