Understand your quote
What changes the price?
- Door type, frame condition and whether trimming is needed.
- Timber profile, length and the condition of walls and floors.
- Materials, ironmongery and any decoration or making good afterwards.
How to get a fair quote
Describe the work clearly and add photos. Mention measurements, access, the condition of existing fittings and whether you already have materials. Ask what the quote includes, what is excluded and whether VAT, materials or disposal are extra.
Compare like-for-like scopes rather than choosing on the headline price alone. Agree the price and how any changes will be handled before work begins. For specialist or regulated work, check the qualifications and registration needed for your job.
