How Much Does It Cost to Fit Internal Doors?

£200 – £600

per door

Fitting internal doors costs between £200 and £600 per door supply and fit, depending on the door style, the condition of the existing frame, and whether new frames, linings, and architraves are also required. A like-for-like door replacement is at the lower end; fitting a new door with a new frame and lining into an opening is more involved.

Prices vary by region, property type and tradesperson. Always get at least two quotes.

What affects the price?

Door type - a standard hollow-core door costs £40-£100; a solid oak or glazed door costs £150-£400 for the door alone

Frame condition - if the existing door frame is sound, hanging a new door is quick; a new lining and frame adds £50-£150 in materials and time

Architrave - new architrave on both sides of the door adds £30-£80 in materials and fitting time

Handles and latches - new door furniture including handles, hinges, and a latch adds £20-£80 per door

Labour vs materials

A joiner typically takes one to two hours to hang a door in an existing frame. Labour accounts for 50-60% of the total cost for a like-for-like replacement; materials make up the rest.

Repair or replace?

A sticking or dropping door is often caused by seasonal movement or hinge failure and can be fixed for £50-£100 by a joiner. If the door itself is warped, split, or fire-rated integrity has been compromised, replacement is required.
