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.

Frequently asked questions

How long will a typical repair visit take?
Most standard single‑door adjustments are usually completed in a single onsite visit. Replacements or specialist repairs may take longer or require a return visit if parts need to be ordered.
When is a full door replacement needed?
A replacement is typically considered when the door or frame is damaged beyond adjustment or when you want a new slab or pre‑hung unit. Larger frame rebuilds or bespoke joinery often fall outside the standard replacement assumptions and may need a specialist quote.
What if my door is heavy or glazed?
Heavy, glazed, metal or security doors commonly require specialist parts, extra manpower and tooling and are usually treated as specialist repairs. Providers will typically advise if a two‑person lift or specialist components are needed and may quote these items separately.
Do door installers need a licence?
Yes — licensing for this trade is mandatory. You should ask the installer to confirm they hold the required licence and to explain any relevant compliance or certification for specialist doors.
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 door installers — your actual quote will depend on your specific job.

Do I pay anything to get quotes?
No — the service is 100% free for homeowners.
Why do you need photos?
