Cost of hanging a door

James_Head

Internal doors are around £35 to hang but i have been asked to supply and hang a new 2xGG door into a exsisting frame

How much should i charge for this?

I would charge £75.00 to fit an external door.That would include glazing it,hanging,locks,handles,letterplate and weather bar.About half a days work i reckon.

And the rest! Always allow a day for front doors. There is a lot of hardware to go in - allow a day, I always do.

Internal doors £35 - can tell your not based in London! My friend was charged for internal doors and all the bits (but using the original frame) £400 per door in a 2 bedroom BLT

I'd be happy with £75.00 for a 2xgg.Confident i could do it in a morning.Maybe i'm cheap compared to others on here but i live in the wild and wooly north.I have a mate works in London.Charges £100 for an internal door.Not sure what he would charge for an external.Will ring and ask him tomorrow.

I charge a full day £120 for an external door as basically it takes over half a day, can easily go wrong, letter boxes take time, and if it says takes 6 hours, the rest of the day is lost. If it is to be painted and there is little to actually be trimmed off it, I might do it for less, but certainly not if it's going to be varnished.

Jesus thats alot for 2 internal doors :eek:

well i compared prices with other carpenters around my area and those on here and £35 per internal door is what they all roughly come 2

It is to be hung on side of garage so no letter box etc

Be first time dun a external door so will make sure give myself plenty of time

Not too bad if it's on the side of a garage like that. Even I might charge a little less if it's not the main door to the house or easily seen.

what sort price woody? around £80 mark?

woodbutcher_2

I charge £18.00 pound an hour and am very confident i could do a 2xgg in 4 hrs hence £75.00.Other types,heavy hardwood for instance,would charge more but the original question was concerning a 2xgg.Standard internal doors i could do for £35.00 depending on quantity and type of door.Did a load of very heavy oak veneered internal doors recently and would have lost money at £35.00 per door.

James_Head

yep i agree

all depend on the type of door etc

thanks for your help
