Does this door quote sound right?

[ChoChoCrazyCat]

A joiner has quoted me £250 to take out an existing external door, fit a new one and make good any bits and bobs.

My first thought was that it sounds like a lot just to fit a door, but I've never done this before so no idea how much these things cost. Does this sound right?

Is he changing the frame too ? Sounds about right to me . He’s just charging for a whole day.

Sounds about right to me. The making good is what takes the time and effort. I didn’t have that included when the joiner did my new doors and I didn’t realise the faff involved with filling old hinge holes and tidying the frame up! Does that include the price of the new door & iron mongery or are you supplying that yourself?

No the door is separate, it's £750...composite with frame and made to measure. So the whole thing will set me back £1000 😳

That sounds about right to me

That sounds right- even a bit on the cheap side

Ok good to know. Have to admit I've never given any though to doors before and assumed it would be an easy and relatively cheap job...you live and learn

Sorry I totally missed the external door part 🤦🏼‍♀️ Yes this is definitely right to me then!

That's very, very reasonable. I dream of a quote like that.

That sounds very cheap to me too.

Yes front doors are bloody expensive

I'd expect that to be nearer £2k - south east, not London.

There's got to be a reason for him to come and not be doing another job that day - £250 covers his day's labour.

Sounds cheap

We paid £1800 for our back door supply and fitted last year, it is very lovely though.

That's really reasonable if it's 1k all in. We paid 1.8k for ours (London).
