Pricing guide

Cost is driven mainly by the door type and installation complexity: standard internal hollow doors are usually simpler than heavy external or fire‑rated doors that need extra handling, fixings and weatherproofing. Quotes generally comprise a single callout plus hourly labour and consumables, and whether you supply the door or hardware will affect the materials component. After‑hours attendance, difficult access or the need to repair or reinforce the frame can also increase the overall scope.

  • Door type and weight

    Standard hollow‑core internal doors are typically quicker to fit than heavy solid‑core, metal or external doors that need two‑person handling.

  • Frame condition and preparation

    If the existing frame is damaged, warped or requires resizing, additional repair or preparatory work will usually add labour time.

  • Hardware complexity and certification

    Multi‑point locks, specialised fittings or fire‑rated hardware often need more time and precision and may require certified components.

  • Who supplies the door and materials

    Many homeowners supply the primary door while installers supply consumables and basic hardware, but asking for the installer to provide the door will change the materials list.

  • Access, handling and timing

    Tight access, heavy doors or after‑hours attendance typically increase labour requirements and can affect the final quote.

Frequently asked questions

How long will a door installation take?
Standard internal door installations are typically quicker than heavy, external or fire‑rated jobs. Replacing multiple doors or repairing the existing frame will usually add time, and certified installations may require extra fitting and paperwork.
Do I need a licensed carpenter?
Yes — carpentry work for door installation generally requires a licensed carpenter. For fire‑rated or other compliance jobs, installers usually need the appropriate certification and documentation under local rules.
Will the installer supply the door and hardware?
In many cases homeowners supply the primary door while installers provide consumables and standard hardware. If you want the installer to source the door or specialist hardware, they will usually note this on the quote so materials and labour are accounted for.
What if the door frame is damaged?
If the frame isn’t sound, installers will typically recommend repair or replacement before hanging the door, which adds scope and labour. Structural or masonry anchoring beyond basic carpentry may require a separate specialist and will often be quoted separately.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
Our estimates are built from research across thousands of local jobs and real pricing data. Use them as a guide when speaking to carpenters — your actual quote will depend on your specific job.
