how long is a piece of string and where are you located may affect labour rate

I paid around £120 per door earlier in the year for engineered oak and £40 a door to hang ...im in NE midlands, good joiners are about £125-150 a day

dont forget about quality of fittings etc also, you could spend £5 or £50 per door on those..... (or more)

On a more serious note smile. As has been said - all depends on the type of door. You can also easily pay more for door furniture than the door itself. If you re-used your old handles/hinges e.t.c. and bought the cheapest door/s - you could be all in at £250-£300. The sky is the limit - but £800 should piss it for a nice-average quality door fitted by a competent tradesman imo

I had 16 doors replaced in 2 properties earlier in the year.

Got the semi solid doors (not cheap hollow ones) for £55 each from a company in Essex based on a recommendation on here, they delivered them for £35 which was a bargain! (£915)

I then used mybuilder.com to find a local well regarded chippie who hung them all over a 3 day period, charging me £40 per door to do so as there was a lot of trimming required.(£640)

I also chose to buy decent hinges (£180) and handles (£250) etc, so that bumped the cost up.

All in, I spent approx £1985

I bought 6 recently, only cheap Howdens doors RRP around £120 each, trade price under £40 each

I got quoted around £450 to hang 6 doors but due to time scales took a day off work and did it myself, no doubt a professional would have done a better job but I had people wanting to move in at the end of the week so just had to get on with it.

On top of that I bought new handles, hinges and latches for around £90 from a guy on ebay.
