Questions in Swansea
Coastal terraces and houses facing the bay. 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.
Coastal terraces and houses facing the bay. 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.
