I need to have 6 doors hung in a flat I hoping to rent out very shortly, just after an idea of what is a reasonable price to have this done?

Speaking to a friend he seamed to think a guy he knows would be looking at the best part of 2 days and £300 which seams expensive.

I've done 1 myself before but am quite busy at the moment so would rather just get someone else to do them.

£300 for 6 doors doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

Can anyone recommend a decent site for DIY guides? I need to hang some doors in the near future, but i'm dammed to pay anyone to do it when i can myself (with a guide!) and it's also an oppertunity to expand my tool box! biggrin

£30 per door labour should cover it if the frame are ok and should be fitted in 1 day.

When I bought my house my sister gave me a DIY book. At the time I thought it was fairly silly present but over time, as I've done various jobs around the house, I've found it a really good reference guide. As long as you a bit practical most things aren't as difficult as you'd imagine and you'll get a good sense of satisfaction from doing the work yourself. Hanging doors isn't too difficult, although it is easier with a second pair of hands.

Also a lot easier to hang a door if you're sticking a new lining in as well. Saves shaving the door as old frames are inevitably out of square or short smile

I saw a sign nailed to a tree quoting £12/door. HTH.
