Door Installation & Repair in Bedworth

The door-set spec (material, glazing, security rating), removal and disposal of the old door, fitting and sealing, threshold work, all hardware including the lock cylinder, and making good of trims both sides. Cheap quotes commonly exclude hardware and making-good — ask.

Yes, if the frame is sound, square and the right size — that's a slab replacement and it's the cheapest path. If the frame is rotten, racked, or you want better security and sealing, replacing the whole door-set costs more but fixes the real problem.

A solid-core or engineered door, a quality deadlock or multipoint lock, reinforced strike plates with long screws into the stud, and hinge-side protection. Ask for locks meeting your country's recognized security standard — insurers often specify them and it's the cheapest discount you'll ever earn.

Hanging an interior door in an existing frame is a half-day carpentry job at the low end. Exterior doors cost several times more: the slab or door-set is pricier, and fitting involves weather sealing, security hardware and often frame work. Sliding, French and bifold sets are priced per opening and sit at the top.

For interior doors in Bedworth, a finish carpenter or experienced handyman is the right trade; for exterior and security doors look for installers who talk about weather seals, thresholds and lock alignment unprompted. Photos of finished margins (the even gap around the door) are the quality tell.

Hanging an internal door typically runs £80-150 labour per door (economies for several at once). Composite front door-sets land £900-2,000 fitted; uPVC back doors £600-1,200.
