What fails first
A flat door onto a stair is a fire-door set: leaf, seals, hinges and closer. Tenement landings are too small to spin a door easily.
Getting the leaf there
Stair carries. Many leaves will not fit in a lift, and the close door is a second, heavier door.
What the quote is based on
In Edinburgh the price moves with this housing: a flat door onto a stair is a fire-door set: leaf, seals, hinges and closer. Tenement landings are too small to spin a door easily. Say how many doors, whether you have bought them, and whether the frame is rotten.
Questions in Edinburgh
Tenements, colony flats and some villas. Labour to hang an internal door in a frame that stays is typically £70–£150, and supply and fit of a standard internal door is often £150–£400. An entrance door or an FD30 set costs more because of the lock, seals and closer. The written quote uses this opening, not a flat call-out fee.
Tenements, colony flats and some villas. Where that door opens onto a common stair, it has to be a fire-door set: leaf, frame, intumescent seals, hinges and closer together. A normal internal door in the old lining is not a fire door, and a certified leaf is not trimmed past the maker’s limit.
