Questions in North Lanarkshire
Post-war houses, newer villages and some tenements. 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.
Post-war houses, newer villages and some tenements. 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.
