    Hi folks,

    Received a quote for a new Apeer door with side & top panels And to remove the existing sliding porch door for €4300.

    If we want to bring the door out to where the current porch is it will cost €5,100 or €5500 with a step. Current porch area is about 1.5m x .6m .

    Is that excessive, seems like mad money, especially the 400 for a concrete step.

    I wouldn't say it's mad in current times.

    I half decent composite rear single width plain door is likely running to 1600 or so fitted. More in cities

    A decorative front door with 3 additional panels is going to be over 3k I'd imagine.

    Those Apeer come with stainless steel detailing etc. I've never ordered one but I guess they are going to be more expensive.

    I'd say you could certainly get a door cheaper but look around and see what's on offer.

    Demand is high, supply is slow. Prices of materials have all gone up. Were paying approx 10% higher for Windows than we might have 18months - 2 years ago and all the suplliers and fitters are giving the same timelines and costs.

    We got an Apeer door in November 2019, door and 2 side panels 2,600. Same spec in 2 different dublin suppliers had over 400 in the difference, so shop around. We were waiting 8 weeks for fitting back then
