What moves the price
- Type of door — an external or composite door costs more and takes longer to hang than an internal door.
- Materials used — solid timber and composite doors cost more than hollow internal doors, and glazed panels add to the price.
- Any additional features like locks or custom fittings — extra locks, handles and glazing take more fitting time on each door.
- Condition of the door frame — a damaged frame has to be repaired before the new door can go in.

How to pay less
- Buying the door yourself and booking fit-only can cost less than supply-and-fit, if the door installer agrees.
- Choosing a ready-made internal door in a standard size, rather than a made-to-measure door, keeps the cost down.
- Having several doors fitted on the same visit can bring the price per door down compared with separate call-outs.
- Keeping the existing door frame where it is sound saves the cost of a new frame and the making good around it.
- Painting or staining new internal doors yourself after fitting can save paying the door installer for finishing.
Before you book
- Access to the area where the door will be installed.
- Any specific design preferences or door styles you have in mind.
- Information on the existing door frame condition and any related issues.
- A rough budget and when you would like the door installation done, so quotes can be compared fairly.
- You can ask whether the door installer is qualified, how the door fitting meets building rules, and how old doors and frames are removed safely.
