The opening in Camden
Camden conversions sit in Georgian and Victorian shells. Width and height are taken at the head, the middle and the cill before anything is cut.
What fails on these doors
Linings are rarely square, and a new leaf often has to be scribed to a frame that has moved, not forced square. A leaf that only binds on that edge is eased. A twisted door, or a hollow skin that is split, is replaced.
Getting the leaf to Camden
The carry in Camden follows the street, not a generic drop-off. A 2040mm slab rarely fits in a lift and a van cannot always wait on a red route, so the leaf is carried in and the old door is taken out the same way. The opening itself is this one: camden conversions sit in Georgian and Victorian shells.

Questions in Camden
Camden conversions sit in Georgian and Victorian shells. 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.
Camden conversions sit in Georgian and Victorian shells. 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.
