Changing double internal doors from solid to glass panelled

Grawns

Hi, I've been quoted €1250 supply and fitted. Is this good value?

Seems expensive. What kind of material are the doors? A standard door with a chipboard core you'd expect to cost €250-€300 incl VAT.

So that's €500-€600 for doors. €600 to fit into an existing door frame seems a bit excessive.

And that's a cash price! however I think we'd be changing the frames, saddleboards etc also and probably the way they open. See the image attached. For the doors to be changed and the new style of door.

Does sound a little bit pricey can you source the doors yourself and then just see what you are looking at for labor?

You should probably considering putting in a few more lights while you are at aswell! :pac:

I note that looks like a brand new kitchen are you asking the kitchen guys to do it? contractors will always try make money on variations/add ons. Maybe just leave it and get it done separately by someone else? definitely will save you a few bob.

The lights are a huge success
It's the carpenter who fitted the other doors which I sourced. He said he could do me a better price. Think i'll look elsewhere. Thanks for the advice
