Cost to add folding doors to internal wall

4 replies

I would like to add large folding glass doors to the wall between the front room and kitchen in our new house to allow more light into the kitchen.

This sort of thing.

Any idea of a ballpark figure of how much it would cost? We're in London. Thanks!

Has anyone done similar?

We recently had double doors fitted and a new threshold put in for £650 which I thought was expensive but carpenters seem to be in short supply atm. You would also have to allow for the wall to be knocked down and some replastering. Do you know if it is a supporting wall? If so a steel is around £1k and the same again in labour to fit.

Thanks very much that's really helpful. I don't know yet whether it is a supporting wall but would imagine it could well be.

I've just put Criittal style doors between 2 rooms, not as wide as your picture ( 2 standard width doors) and not on runners. Only needed a lintel but still expensive, total was about £2K in London.
