Fitting checks in Kent
Before the visit
- ✓ Measure head, middle and cill
- ✓ See if the frame is rotten or out of square
- ✓ Confirm fire door, entrance door or internal leaf
- ✓ Check stairs, lifts and where a van can stop
During the hang
- ✓ Protect the floor
- ✓ Pack the frame if it is being replaced
- ✓ Mortice hinges and set the latch or lock
- ✓ Keep an external opening closed the same day
After the hang
- ✓ Swing the door and move the keep
- ✓ Check seals on entrance and fire doors
- ✓ Clear shavings
- ✓ Tell you what not to paint or plane
What fails first
Historic frames are out of square. Coastal bungalows rot at the cill. Commuter semis are closer to a standard hang.
Getting the leaf there
Old-town streets restrict vans. Bungalow thresholds are low, so the leaf cannot be left proud of the cill overnight.
What the quote is based on
In Kent the price moves with this housing: historic frames are out of square. Coastal bungalows rot at the cill. Commuter semis are closer to a standard hang. Say how many doors, whether you have bought them, and whether the frame is rotten.
Questions in Kent
Timber-framed high streets, Medway terraces, commuter semis and coastal bungalows. 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.
Timber-framed high streets, Medway terraces, commuter semis and coastal bungalows. Salt and wind-driven rain then attack the hinges, letterplate and threshold seal before the slab looks worn. The visit includes that ironmongery and the cill, not only a new leaf in a rotten frame.
