What fails first
Out-of-square flint openings and winter swelling. Coastal external doors need seals and hinges that tolerate salt.
Getting the leaf there
City yards are narrow. Village lanes need the door finished the same day so the opening is not left open to the weather.
What the quote is based on
In Norfolk the price moves with this housing: out-of-square flint openings and winter swelling. Coastal external doors need seals and hinges that tolerate salt. Say how many doors, whether you have bought them, and whether the frame is rotten.
Questions in Norfolk
Flint and brick terraces in the city, cottages inland, and salt air toward the coast. 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.
Flint and brick terraces in the city, cottages inland, and salt air toward the coast. 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.

We hang and replace doors and frames. We do not fit windows, up-and-over garage doors, electric gates, or a lintel. A lock-only emergency on a sound door is locksmith work. In Norfolk the job we do take is this one: flint and brick terraces in the city, cottages inland, and salt air toward the coast.
