What fails first
Frames lean down the hill. Doors drop onto the latch, and garage doors into the house on newer semis are often not fire rated.
Getting the leaf there
Steep streets and limited places to leave a van with a full-size leaf.
What the quote is based on
In South Yorkshire the price moves with this housing: frames lean down the hill. Doors drop onto the latch, and garage doors into the house on newer semis are often not fire rated. Say how many doors, whether you have bought them, and whether the frame is rotten.
Questions in South Yorkshire
Hillside terraces and semis, stone on the older streets and brick on the later estates. 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.
Hillside terraces and semis, stone on the older streets and brick on the later estates. A catalogue blank only fits after the head, the middle and the cill are measured, because these frames are out of square. Hung to a spirit level instead of to the rebate, the gap turns into a wedge. Some heads are too low for a taller fire door.

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 South Yorkshire the job we do take is this one: hillside terraces and semis, stone on the older streets and brick on the later estates.
