How much to hang a door ?

The only time I will drop my price is if im putting new linings or casings in. Then I might go to about £60. The market dictates what the price is. Lots of punters dont like paying cheap prices. They appreciate that if you charge a high price you'll produce a quality job. Also I dont take a penny until the last screw goes in and I have never had a non payer. If you charge 20-30 a door you'll always have work sure but what you are doing is undervaluing yourself in my opinion.

 

i was agreeing with you chip. I was disputing what fatdragon said.

 

I charge as low as £30 but then will make £20 in the sale of the door etc.Also depends how many doors there is to hang. I have a job doing 18 in 1 house and half will be (nice/fancy)fire doors and i will charge by the day not the door as i havent put thecasings in so i dont know what to expect. I will supply all ironmogery so will profit on that side

 

I never charge by the day for anything I like it all down in black and white before I get my tools out. I put around 20% on my doors and around 30% on my ironmongery. I also charge £5 per door for disposal of the old doors as well.

 

i try not to but this is a full second fix and the previous joiner has made a balls up of loads of things. And the customers are indecisive and i can spend 2hours a day discussing the job and get paid for it.

 

Anyone fancy hanging 3 doors for me in TW1?! It involves making good existing frame (new doors to swing opp side etc).

That's after laying 75sqm of 4,5 & 6" oak t&g...

And maybe a shed load of skirting as well?

Needs to be bloody good though, it's in a period property renovation and I'm done with time wasters. Let me know by email. (jc_sf@xava.co.uk)

 

ok, fair play. i felt that wet walnut was making a general enquiry about the cost of hanging a door. he specifies a basic, standard door, nothing fancy. £30 is a good rate for a basic, standard internal door (done properly). if the frames need attention then that's extra. obviously if the doors are heavy or full of glass or whatever, then add a bit more. there are always going to be other factors to consider on any job. i can see where you can charge £75 per door if you know the frames are likely to be all over the place and perhaps to call you greedy is a bit strong (sorry). a tad expensive perhaps.
please don't assume that because i only charge £30 i do a lousy job of it.

 

£25 an internal with just your basic furniture,£80 a back door £100 front door.£120 upvc door

 

no one i know would pay £75 to have 1 internal door fitted.you would get chased down the road if you asked for that round here,

 

and where is that exactly Mazball ? errrm.....sorry Lennie ?

 

I've hung loads of doors for £60 in your neck of the woods lennie. My price has gone up since last time i was up there. £25 a door. I would nt hang a door on a cuckoo clock for that. All off written quotes so theres no Rogue Traders action by the way

 

Usualy £30 for internal softwood hollow core door, £40/£45 for internal hardwood doors, £55 to £75 for external front doors, £5 to £15 for casing/frame adjustment, £5 to £10 for disposal of existing doors all inclusive of standard ironmongary.
Im in Blackpool Lancs area (North West).

why 80 for a back door 100 for the front

 

letterbox and yale i imagine

 

believe it or not we have a joiner who works with us who still charges £15 to fit an internal regardless.

 

charge what you want it's whether people are prepared to pay it.£75 to fit an internal i think not.
businesses advertising in local paper 7 colonial doors supplied and fitted with ironmongery for £225 all inclusive.they've been trading for 20 years so there obviously not running a charity lambellead.say no more .

 

lennie, put up or shut up

7 doors for £225 = £32 each including vat, cheapest door £15 , cheapest ironmongery £4

=£13 for labour, doors direct type places want 60% on the labour and the guy who does it has to pay tax


i doubt even polish carpenters will hang a door for £2.70

 

cheapest doors are £10 and if its a place that selling that many they will buy direct and get them cheaper

 

on those calcs the guy who fits still only gets £6 after tax

ps

where DO you get doors at £10 INCLUDING vat, or for that matter plus vat
