cost for hanging internal doors

[stolt]

just a quick question, i want to replace the doors in our house to the oak doors in wickes etc.
Ive been quoted £45.00 per door door furniture etc. I think that sounds pretty good, the guy reckons he could get two done a day.

[Heathwood]

That seems a touch on the expensive side to me. £30 to £35 a door is more reasonable.

Also, 2 a day! What's he planning to do for the other 4 or 5 hours?

[sherman]

Is that to hang ordinary size doors? Only 2 a day seems awfully slow progress to me even if he is working on his own.

[stolt]

thanks, yeah i know door hanging can be a pain, its something i dont think i have the patience for.

will get some more prices, got about 15 doors to do!!!! and yes they are ordinary sized doors, but he is on his own.

Only two in a day? Four hours per door? Bonkers.

I think the answer to this is

£MTFU.00

I think the salient point here is he is being conservative.

I have fitted doors in an hour and a half, but I've had doors take me six hours as the entire opening is a novelty shape! I am an amateur but I would guess he is looking at worst case scenario.

He could MAKE a frigging door in four hours...!



(unless it's a novelty teddy bear-shape of course)
