internal doors, where from? cost to fit...

I’ve not used those doors but they look fine to me. As far as fitting goes, it really depends on the openings. If all of the linings are good, the doors will not need much work to fit but if there has been any movement over the years they could take much longer to fit. Two days to hang seven doors would be about right if the former and if they need more work, I’d budget for an extra half day.
Edit, just realised it’s a new extension, so your door linings should be spot on. In that case, 2 days should be fine. It’s very normal practice for the chippie who fitted the linings, hangs the doors. That way, he’ll do a good job.

We are having 9 doors fitted to a house known for it's non-squareness. Paid about £110 (for finished Oak) and around 2.5-3 days to fit. Hinges/handles were extra. So your quote sounds about right.

£110 for finished oak doors sounds cheap, when I looked at oak it was a lot more than engineered

where did you get them from?

doors will a mixture of new / square and old very much not square. though the existing doors are there so would have thought they could just be templated

we are officially out of budget for finishing our extension, however can’t really not have doors….

£35 Wickes moulded doors... never paid to have doors fitted but I'd assume that would save some money as well.

Builder sourced them. I'll go ask and post back...

cheers, I had a google last night, oak veneer was in the region of £140, solid oak was in the region of £250

we have a few of those wickes doors upstairs. They aren't very nice if I'm honest, functional yes.

Architectural salvage. I needed 2 original doors for a Glasgow tenement, and one place i visited had hundreds of these multi paneled doors. Many in the matching timber. They were wanting about £80 a door.

For some reason we ended up with a couple of b&q doors that are pretty hideous in comparison to the originals. Not my decision, but thats life.

So if you can, go to one of these warehouse places and try to get matching doors. They look so much better, and even if not matching totally, like 2 extra panels, then so what, they still blend in era wise.

I think it's these: https://www.bradfords.co.uk/ida066 but the finished version. Might be £130 for finished, not £110 as per that link. They seem pretty good - we have similar ones in the rest of the house (probably also from bradfords a few years ago) and they've lasted really well. No warping or anything.

Well true but they do the basic door thing (open and close) and though they aren't exactly thick and soundproof they have the advantage of not hurting much if they hit you being opened or they close on your fingers under their own weight and in an emergency you can just punch through them.

We've just had 11 doors replaced , we got pre finished oak veneer doors from Howdens about £180 each . The cabinet maker / carpenter doing the fitting found it a nightmare took a lot longer than he anticipated the combination of a 1950s house and the original builder seemingly not knowing such things as Spirit Levels existed 🙄

Exactly the same experience as Oldfart. Lovely pre-finished oak doors having bits shaved off to fit into door frames that have never seen a spirit level. Costing about £3000 for doors and fitting but that also includes fixing stairs and fitting a new attic hatch and ladder plus a couple of other smaller joinery jobs that require more finesse than I'll ever have.

Door standards are made from unseasoned redwood and often twist over time. They might have been plumb when fitted.

chickenman that may be so but ask people who have tried to fit flooring or kitchen cabinets over the years, most walls go off on a jaunty angle 😉

I would make the doors and the linings together, door hinged on. Then a simple case of fitting that into the hole. Some packing between the linings and the door frame and the job is 100% accurate.

You can just fix the hanging side of the lining, swing the door and then fix the other side to suit your door. I can’t believe how many new builds I work on where the studwork is nowhere near upright!

I'd get my tape measure and square out first and see how much the existing doors have been trimmed to fit the opening. As Sandboy suggests it can be easier and quicker to replace the lining.

2 frames are new and square, rest are varying degrees of wonk.

surely if there is an existing door there which fits you can simply lay it on top of the new door and template?

(I have never fitted a door so possibly a stupid thought....)

I am tempted to have a crack myself, I've done the architrave and skirting. doors are a bit more complicated though

and I would think removing the linings would make a massive mess and possibly mean I need to replaster the older sections. the plaster is like sand

Many years ago my folks decided to take out all of the solid wood, three-panel doors fitted to the house back in the Thirties, and replace them with paper-cored plywood coated doors, which are functional, but are pretty nasty, really. There’s a house down the road with a couple propped up outside, I’m thinking of going and asking if they’re getting rid of them. Then I’d just need another five…

Are the linings ok. Have you checked with a spirit level. Check both the edge and face as both play a part in the hanging of a door.
A lining in twist is as much a problem as on out of level.
As I said before, I don’t really like hanging doors on linings someone else has fixed on a new build or extension. I know if I fix the linings, the door hanging will be straight forward.
If you’re anywhere near Norfolk, I would help you out.

Soton so along way. I have the number of the chippy who did the extension, but I want all the doors to match, hence the bigger job. From what it sounds I should be expecting at least 3 days work which will add up

I’d hope the new linings aren’t twisted, will check in the morning , the remainder I wouldn’t be surprised, the whole house has seen movement over the last 100 years. If I believe my old boy neighbour part of it was hit by the Germans in ww2.

We have a mishmash of doors as it is, hence wanting all the downstairs matching, 2 are definitely originals that have been panelled at some point. Some which I thought were originals have turned out to be just ply lined when I took a chisel to them
