Fully fitted front door - how much?

[ElizabethinherGermanGarden]

Just had a salesman round who quoted £2744 for a composite door. It was a fugly one, too. Can this be right?

Has anyone recently had a nice door fitted? I prefer wooden doors and would be interested to know how much a reclaimed door fitted with all the locks etc would cost as well as the standard composite doors.

Thanks!

[Whatsnewwithyou]

That is far too much! We had new solid wood double front doors fitted recently for just under £1,000.

I was quoted £3k for a bespoke wood/pane door for an orangery. We didn't buy it. I do need new front & back doors now so watching with interest.

Ours was £1400 for a composite door with small glass pane running down the side.

[ElizabethinherGermanGarden]

@Whatsnewwithyou Thank goodness for that! Where did you get yours from?

[ElizabethinherGermanGarden]

@notsomumsymum Was that including all the metalwork and the fitting? Sounds massively better. What company was that?

[NicoAndTheNiners]

I’ve just been looking at composite doors online and getting prices around the 1k mark.

From the joiner who lives down the street from us. If you have a local joiner you trust maybe best to get through that route rather than a big name shop?

[notsomumsymum]

Yes, it was with fitting and taking the old door and window away! It was a local independent company. If you’re in Cheshire I’ll PM you the details

[ElizabethinherGermanGarden]

Thanks, I will check out local joiners - sadly don't know any yet but will track them down. I'm nowhere near Cheshire but thank you for the offer.

I am getting a door from We Do Doors and although I don’t have it yet I can say that they are very pleasant to deal with, pricing is clear and the process seems very straight forward.

[stayhomeclub]

I’ve just paid 2300 for new front and back doors

[Singlenotsingle]

Look online at doors you're interested in, then find a carpenter to fit it.

[HardAsSnails]

Our Rockdoor was £1600 all in. It's lovely!

[prettygreywalls]

I've just paid 1k for a new bespoke door (trade ) very modern look

[LapdanceShoeshine]

Local company fit (nice) composite doors for about £800 - that includes frame - ours needed top glass too, that might have been a bit extra.

Good quality, very much like Rockdoor but I can never remember the make.

[witwootoodleoo]

We bought this door (but from a local company) and then had a joiner fit it. He painted it for us too. Whole thing cost us about £800 including new locks and door furniture and we get loads of compliments on it.

Door companies were quoting £2.5k plus.

[Glitteryfrog]

I think ours was about £1200 from the local double glazing company.
Door, frame and window above.

Was it Everest who quoted you perchance OP? They're rip off merchants. A local company will do much cheaper or buy online and fit yourself cheaper still.

[chemenger]

Not Everest. I have experienced their sales tactics before.

[chemenger]

Sorry, thought was my door thread! It must be door season.

[Accountant222]

Was quoted £4,200.00 for two composite doors this week Solarframe UK not a chance I will be buying them

[Jenijena]

We had new windows and doors fitted. From what I remember we went for the highest of the three door options (thickness of composite), cost £1200.

[buddy79]

We were quoted about £3k for a composite from Everest - seemed a bit mad! Got local joiner to do timber door instead, was £900 incl fitting/locks/letterbox etc and we’re really pleased with it, much better value!

[Alexalee]

800-1000 for cheaper end 1500ish for perceived better door like rockdoor
The quote you got is ridiculous but they always start high so when the give you s special offer half price it seems good value. Very prevalent in the double glazing business
