Common questions
How much is a uPVC front door fitted?
A standard white uPVC front door fitted typically costs £700 to £1,200, with decorative glazing or a coloured finish nearer the top of that range.
How much do uPVC French doors cost supplied and fitted?
uPVC French doors usually cost £1,100 to £1,800 supplied and fitted, depending on size, glazing and colour.
How much is labour only to fit a uPVC door?
If you supply the door, fitting is typically £150 to £300, covering removal of the old door, fitting, packing and sealing the frame, and adjusting the locks. Most people buy supplied-and-fitted at £700 to £1,200 for a front or back door because the installer then owns any warranty issue across both door and fitting.
How long does a uPVC door last?
20 to 30 years for a decent door. Hinges, handles and the multi-point lock usually tire before the door itself, and all are replaceable for far less than a new door. Discolouring and draughts on a door from the 1990s, though, are the signs it owes you nothing.
Is a composite front door worth the extra over uPVC?
A composite door costs more but feels and looks more substantial, holds colour better and takes darker finishes without the heat issues early uPVC had. For a back door, uPVC at £700 to £1,200 is the value pick; for a front door where appearance matters to you, the composite premium is defensible. We compare them fully in the composite door guide.
Can I fit a uPVC door myself?
You can on a straightforward front or back door if you are handy, and buying the door yourself avoids the fitter's markup within the £700 to £1,200 range. The catch is getting it square, level, and properly sealed, since a door hung out of true will drop, stick, or let in draughts. French and patio doors are heavier and fiddlier to align, so those are better left to a fitter.
