EXCESSIVE!!

Posted by Lee Turnbull, on
Nearly 4 grand to replace 2 out-sized external doors? I appreciate they require frames and fitting but im only looking for basic replacements. Am i being unrealistic?

Hi Lee I cannot comment on your particular doors as I do not have their details, but if you are having them purpose made you will find it very expensive. If the doors are a non standard size very often the only way you can source them is to have them purpose made along with the frame, you need to take into account the type of timber being used along with ironmongery being fitted and any glass. The fitting will presumably involve the removal and disposal of the old doors and frames along with any making good to the plaster, it all starts to add up! Get a number of quotes to see what's the average price you should be paying. Ed

Blimey. Thats a lot of money. Keep looking. You must have doors that are not of the norm.
