Wooden Patio Door (Scotland)

Posts: 47 Forumite
We have a patio door which needs replaced.
Anyone recommend anyone to do such a job or had such a thing done? We live in Fife in Scotland. The quotes we have had seem a bit steep - in excess of 4k.
The wood is to be hardwood and will need to be custom made (the door will join onto an exisiting window and must look the same).
The whole frame is 8 ft 6" tall by 8 ft wide.
It currently has 3 parts.
Part 1 is a wooden window which does not move and is 7ft high and 4ft wide.
Part 2 is a sliding door- same size.
Above these two parts are two small windows (which open).
A very poor diagram is below.
| ``````| ````````| <-- two opening windows
| ``````|`````````|
| ``````|`````````|
| ``````|`````````|
| ``````|`````````| <-- far side window does not move
| ``````|`````````| <-- patio door on right lifts and slides
| ``````|```````` |
