Hello,
This is my first post to this board, I'm more at home with electrics and AV kit, but needs must...
The front door of my flat (internal, flat to corridor) is looking a bit the worse for wear, and I'm aiming to get it replaced with something a bit more secure and in better condition.
Has anyone done a DIY UPVC door install, and how did it go?
Another alternative is to find a fitter to measure the door, and fit one bought from somewhere online. I've been quoted £995 to have a door supplied and fitted by a local company, versus seeing (what looks like) a similar thing online for less than £400.
I think FENSA won't need to be involved, who ever does the job as these is less than 50% glass in the door (or there will be)...
Any thoughts? Even more to the point, does anyone in the trade in the Reading/Basingstoke area have an idea what the install cost would be?
Thanks in advance,
Colin
