Homeowner project request
Internal Door Fitting quotes in Ireland
Request installation of one internal door or a complete set throughout your home. Tell carpenters how many openings are involved and whether you need supply and fitting or installation of doors you already own. An apparently standard opening can still need individual checking before a door is ordered or trimmed.
You post the job. Interested independent businesses may respond. You choose whether to hire; responses and availability are not guaranteed.
Define the work you want priced
Keep internal room doors separate from an external entrance-door request. If a door serves a garage, apartment entrance or another fire-sensitive location, flag that context rather than treating it as ordinary decorative joinery. A carpenter needs to understand the opening and its requirements before proposing a replacement.
New leaf, existing frame
Ask whether the existing frame, stops and hinges are suitable for reuse. A price for hanging the door leaf may exclude repairing a damaged frame, changing hinge positions or filling old latch openings. List any known rubbing or movement, not just your preferred door style.
Frames and finishing
Say whether you want the surrounding frame, architraves or skirting altered. New trim needs an agreed finish, particularly where old decoration is disturbed. Clarify whether the carpenter leaves surfaces ready for painting or whether decoration is included in the same quotation.
Hardware and floor clearance
Include handles, latches, hinges and any privacy locks in the brief. Tell the fitter about existing or planned carpet, laminate and thresholds. The final arrangement should suit the finished floor and the door specification, not an assumed universal clearance.
What to include in your request
- Count doors individually and note the rooms, opening directions and any known frame damage.
- Photograph each complete opening, including the existing handles and accessible hinge side.
- Share product links or specifications if you have already chosen doors; do not order solely from approximate dimensions.
- Mention stair access, occupied rooms and any flooring work planned before or after fitting.
Keep personal contact details out of descriptions and photos. Add them only in the dedicated contact fields when posting.
Compare the complete quote
Give each business the same project information. Check the total and what is included, excluded or provisional before choosing a proposal.
- Door specification
- Compare the same material, style, finish and quantity. Separate supply from fitting and ask who checks the manufacturer's trimming limits before altering a customer-supplied door.
- Hanging and ironmongery
- Identify hinges, handles, latches, locks and frame adjustments. Ask whether old hardware is reused, whether preparation for new hardware is included and who supplies missing components.
- Completion and removal
- Confirm disposal of old doors, protection of floors, repairs around frames and decoration. A collection of door-hanging prices should explain the same finished result as a complete-house quotation.

Agree the sequence before booking
Ask the carpenter whether fitting should happen before or after the planned floor finish. Doors may need checking against the actual flooring build-up, while fresh paint may need protection during fitting. Coordinate delivery so the installer can inspect the correct products rather than relying on packaging descriptions alone.
For a multi-door job, arrange an agreed sequence through occupied bedrooms and bathrooms. Ask what must be cleared near each opening and how the house will be secured or made usable if frame repairs require another visit. Confirm any extra attendance charge before adding doors to the original list.
At handover
- Check each door opens, closes and latches as agreed without catching the finished floor.
- Check the handles, stops and privacy hardware against the itemised specification.
- Retain product details, especially for any door set with a stated fire or acoustic performance.
Internal Door Fitting: your questions answered
Can a carpenter fit doors I bought myself?
Often, but confirm that the doors suit the openings and intended use before ordering. Share the specification and ask who handles unsuitable sizes, missing hardware and any return visit needed to fit replacement products.
Does hanging a door include replacing the frame?
Not unless the quote says so. Ask whether the existing frame, stops and architraves remain, what adjustments are included and how additional repairs discovered during fitting will be priced.
Are handles and latches included?
Check the item list. Some prices cover labour only, while others include selected ironmongery. Confirm the number, model and finish of handles and whether bathroom privacy hardware or other locks are needed.
Should the doors be fitted before new flooring?
Discuss the sequence with both installers. The carpenter needs the intended finished floor level and the door's permitted alterations. Do not guess a trimming allowance or assume the same clearance is suitable for every door.
Can any internal door replace a fire door?
No such assumption should be made. Identify the location and existing door details, and ask the appropriate professional to confirm the required door set, hardware and installation. Appearance alone does not establish equivalent performance.
Can I include a sticking door in a larger carpentry request?
Yes. List it separately from new-door installation and describe when it catches. The carpenter may propose adjustment or a repair rather than replacement after checking the door, frame and surrounding conditions.
