What moves the price
- Fitting only or supply and fit — hanging a door you have bought costs far less than the installer supplying it
- Door type — a hollow-core door is cheapest, while solid oak and glazed doors cost more to buy and hang
- Fire doors — certified fire doors and frames in flats and loft conversions take more time and paperwork
- Frame condition — a new lining or a frame that is out of square adds time to each door installation
- Number of doors — a whole house of doors in one visit brings the price per door down
- Ironmongery — handles, hinges and locks are often priced on top of the door installer's labour
Building and repair prices in the UK are up 6% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Services for maintenance and repair, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical door installer would have cost about £240 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7DO →

How to pay less
- Book every door in the house at once so the door installer's day is spent hanging, not travelling
- Buy standard-size doors where possible, as trimming oversize or bespoke doors adds labour
- Supply the doors and ironmongery yourself if the installer agrees to a fitting-only price
Before you book
- In flats, loft conversions and homes of several storeys, ask the door installer which doors need to be certified fire doors
- Measure the door openings yourself before buying, as UK door sizes vary between older and newer homes
- Ask whether the door installer's price includes handles, hinges and disposal of the old doors
- Let new timber doors acclimatise in the house for a few days before they are hung
Door Installer cost: questions people ask
£80–£600 per door, about £250 typical. Hanging a door you supply is cheapest; a solid oak door or a fire door supplied and fitted costs the most.
One to three hours for an internal door. A new frame, a fire door or a pocket door takes longer.
In a loft conversion or any house with a floor more than about four and a half metres above ground, the Building Regulations usually ask for fire doors onto the stairway. In flats, the front door is normally a fire door.
Yes. Many installers will hang doors you supply for a lower price, though they will not guarantee a door that is damaged or the wrong size.
Painting or staining, new frames, and external front, back or patio doors are generally priced on their own.
