What moves the price
- Repair or new door — adjusting hinges and planing a sticking door is quicker than hanging a new one
- Door type — solid, glazed and fire doors are heavier and need more care than hollow doors
- Out-of-square frames — older houses often need the door trimmed or the lining packed to fit
- Ironmongery — fitting new hinges, latches and handles adds time to each door
- Fire doors — certified door sets need exact gaps, intumescent strips and closers to work
- Region — joiners hanging doors in London and the South East charge above the national rate

How to pay less
- Buy all the new doors at once and have every door hung on one visit
- Have a sticking door adjusted early before the hinges and frame are strained
- Choose standard-size doors so the joiner does less trimming on each one
Before you book
- Measure each door opening and check the old door's size before buying replacements
- In a flat or a house of several storeys, ask whether any door is a fire door that needs replacing like for like
- Buy the handles, latches and hinges you want so the door hanging is done in one visit
- Clear the hallway so the joiner has room to lay doors down and trim them

£60–£250 per door, about £150 typical. A simple adjustment is cheapest; a fire door set or a London joiner costs the most.

Yes. Building Regulations require fire doors in certain places, such as between an integral garage and the house or on escape routes in flats and three-storey homes. They must be fitted with the right gaps, seals and closers.
Most joiners are happy to hang doors you have bought, and it often saves money. Check the size and that the door can be trimmed enough.
The door, painting or staining and replacing the frame are separate costs.
