Anyone able to offer advise/comments please.

We are about to change our old front door to our home, it is old and replacement is overdue.
We have decided to go with Solidor C/W frame. What is a reasonable pro' price to remove old and fit the new door?
Also we intend to replace the personal door and frame on the garage at same time. As this door is in a secure rear garden we intend to go for a lower quality door but still a good door. Can't seem to find a door as yet.

Thanks for all the responses, all helpful. Just had my first quote for a fully fitted solidor all in at £2347
Also a pedestrian garage door same company at £932

It's a good local company that will do a great job, but price seems high compared to your experiences

Mark and ash, that sounds bad news, I can't tolerate hard sales, sounds like I will have to dig out some toetec boots.

I think that you have to be careful about chasing the very cheapest quote. If there's a problem it will be the supplier who will be your first port of call as your contract is with them and not Solidor.

I was put off Solidor by the significant number of negative reviews on trust pilot in relation to doors warping, outer coating cracking and then subsequent poor customer care from Solidor.

But then my wife does say that I always concentrate on negative reviews lol. In all seriousness though there were too many to ignore.
I defo do not want cheapest, what I would like is value for money. Your comment about customer service rings true, I looked at the record for this with the company about to quote, not good at all! Thinking about cancelling the visit.
Thanks for feedback on your experiences with solidor. It's a nightmare out there.
