I'm getting increasingly frustrated by a lot of door companies with websites- because none of them have any prices!! I assume they don't have prices because they like to haggle, but for a consumer that's annoying!

I want to buy a new front door, painted, fitted...etc. I'm told they're quite expensive, but does anyone have a ball park figure, for something like this:



Any ideas?

Go to a scrap yard, get a fantastic old fab looking door, get it dipped and puttied and there you go son,  May cost a little more, but the quality is second to none xx

Other than that, B&Q son

Nah I wouldnt go to a scrapyard if I where you really.
But yes, B&Q are good or Wickes, plus they also can give you a list of people that can fit it in your area.

B&Q it is

You know i'm sure if you have an old person, they get 10% off... just for being old !
I got my grandad to go in about a year ago to buy me some laminate flooring... and I saved quite abit. 

What? You can haggle in places like B&Q? Might haggle next time I go into Tescos then!

Hey Hey Hey,

Hold on just there, B and Q please, you want to go for an old well made door that is solid and has some personality about it, a scrap yard is the place to go.  My god you people dont you know anything xx

Oh yeh, I'd 100% go to a scrapyard if I was looking to get a new door. Its much nicer to get a lovely old door and paint it yourself instead of these crappy upvc doors that EVERYONE and i mean everyone has.
But for a BTL is there much point. Unless the nice-ness of the door matches the interior.

Ended up buying a wooden one, and getting it installed for £300.
No idea if I got a good deal or not ha! But I didn't have time to mess around =/

LOL, well done son, the main thing is are you pleased with the dam thing,
It open and it closes and it keeps people in and out, job done

there are a large number of companies selling doors and good hardwood front door would be about £120 and fitting is no more than £80 for what you paid for fitting i had a double glazed supplied and fitted.
