Pricing guide
Costs vary mainly with the scope of work — a straightforward adjustment is typically less complex than a full supply-and-fit replacement or a specialist heavy‑door repair. Specialist parts, the need for extra labour or tooling, and any frame rebuilds or certification requirements can make a job significantly more involved. Lead times for non-standard parts and after-hours attendance may also affect the final quote.
Door type and material
Metal, aluminium, glazed or security doors often require specialist components and handling, which usually increases complexity.
Repair versus replacement
Removal and supply/fit of a replacement door is generally more involved than an on‑site adjustment and may require more labour and disposal work.
Frame condition and extent of work
If the frame needs repair or a rebuild, the scope typically expands beyond a standard single‑door visit.
Need for extra labour or tooling
Heavy doors or those requiring two‑person lifts and specialist tooling usually take longer and may need additional personnel.
Parts, certification and lead times
Specialist parts, certified fire‑door components or items with long lead times may be quoted separately and can delay completion.
