Current price examples
These examples use the same current pricing engine as the calculator. They are market estimates rather than binding installer quotations.
What is included in a front door replacement?
The calculator is designed for replacing an existing entrance door in a normal opening. The fitted estimate includes the door set and standard installation. Creating a wider opening, major masonry alterations or repairing hidden structural defects can move the job outside the normal range.
Why side panels matter
A side panel is not just decorative glass. It adds frame, glass, fabrication and installation work, so one or two side panels can materially change the price. Decorative glass and premium hardware can then add further cost.
What affects the price?
- Door material and design tier
- One or two side panels
- Decorative glass and hardware
- Colour, threshold and opening condition
What “fitted” means here: supply, standard replacement installation and ordinary 20% VAT are included. Unusual access, scaffolding, structural repairs, planning/listed-building requirements and highly bespoke work can sit outside the standard estimate.
