What fails first
Original 1930s doors are imperial. New-town houses are metric. Garage-to-house doors are the fire-door request.
Getting the leaf there
Suburban drives take the van. New-town parking courts mean a short carry.
What the quote is based on

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.
