    Depends on the exact problem and the hinges nessacery, but I think thats a bit dear. Friction hinges are generally around the £8 - £10 per pair mark, door hinges aren't very dear either. So I would guess his labour is about £110 - £120

    It should only take a couple of hours if hes used to doing it. If the windows are large and upstairs, he may want a labourer with him though, but it still seems a bit dear to me.
