It depends on what you mean by hanging. Some people say hanging then mean fit hinges, fit locks, bore holes, fit all the furniture, plane to size.

If it simple is just to hang the door then really this should take a very short time and should cost no more than £50.

f it is to do all of the above, then this is a time cosuming job and depends whether the carpenter is on a day, hour of job rate.

However you should be charged around about £50 per door. However this price can differ depending on the door itself, the area you are in and the timescale you need it done.

A normal carpenter day rate depening on the above will be between £80 - £170 per day (highest being one of the best). Lowest being a polish guy or something.

Hour rate between £10 - 26.

Hope this helps.

Can vary wildly. We had two quotes to hang 5 doors recently. One was £150 the other £700!!

Jesus! massive difference.

My husband has a client he is working with at the moment. He is stripping, re hanging (including door furniture, planing ect) and spraying them white.

He is charging £100 per door for 5 doors. These doors are huge solid oak doors, not the ones from Wickes or homebase.

I have been quoted £50 per door that includes fitting all the iron ware

LikerabbittsBX is bang on with her price range...... I regularly re-hang/replace doors that have been badly fitted by people offering cheap services. A good carpenter will have the expertise, experience and tools to do a superior job. the only way someone can make a living knocking them out at £50-00 plus ironmongery (in Private domestic fit outs), is to do a rushed job, with cheap materials, and probably cutting a few corners.... And I would suspect that many of those who do this, aren't paying things like taxes or public liability insurance... It is very much a case of getting what you pay for....
