your materials are £50+ with a standard panel door. thats without your fuel mot fetching and carrying. your on less than £100 for a job that could turn into a 2-3 day nightmare. not to mention making up skirting cutting thresholds, carpets etc. your too cheap.

Yes I was wondering the same thing, but I guess Johnny was talking about a straightforward swap.

I will tell that to my customers.

No, i forgot to mention that the price didn't include door, frame, architrave and hardware.
In other words i only include fixings, adhesive, nails and small things needed.

Am I still too cheap???

I'm moving to wales then.
I would probably be able to buy a castle in a couple of years considering that houses go for £66k.

plus £8500 deposit , that’s 74500.don’t doubt me, look for yourself. plenty of terraces or ex local authority semis at that price in decent areas with 3 beds and large gardens.

£500???
WHAT???
I'm not talking about a cathedral door, I'm talking about a standard 30" internal door.

Haven't decided between plastic or wood yet. I want wood but other half doesn't. (Wood I think suits our Victorian cottage). We've decided to do it ourselves because of the quotes.. well, I've elected other half to do it

We had our front door done last year coz of the p-heads who kicked in in. Luckily on insurance because was 1.5k for a half decent composite and frame.

£74500 around me will probably buy a garage, maybe.
One bedroom flats in shythole areas go for £250k.

I know! It's outrageous and don't even live in a posh area, just the SE! It's a back door (external).
