Door fitters for homes and offices
We offer internal door fitting in London for homes, flats and offices. Our fitters hang single doors, double doors and glazed doors so they open smoothly, close quietly and sit straight in the frame.
Door fitting explained
Internal door fitting means hanging a new door inside your home or workplace. The fitter trims the door to the opening, cuts in the hinges and fits the latch and handles.
Most new doors come a little oversize. That lets us plane them down so every edge lines up with your frame.
A badly hung door sticks, swings open on its own or leaves a wide gap at the top. Small errors with hinges show up every time you use it.
Our fitters set even gaps on all sides and check the door stays where you leave it. The latch should click shut without a push.
Homeowners update doors during a refit, and landlords change worn doors between tenants. Office managers book us for new meeting rooms and partitions.
Need doors that must hold back fire, such as flat entrance or HMO doors? Those need certified fire door installation instead.
Ordinary door or fire door?
Some doors inside a building must be fire doors by law. Check which kind you need before you buy.
Fitted properly
A door that works well comes down to a few small details. These are the points our fitters check before they leave.
We plane each edge so the door fits your frame, even when the frame is not square.
Hinges sit flush in the door and frame.
About 3 mm at the top and sides, with room for carpet or tiles below.
The latch meets the keep so the door clicks shut without a shove.
The door stays where you leave it and does not rub on the frame or floor.
Glazed doors use safety glass, held firmly in place.
How it works
From the first visit to the final sweep up, you deal with the same small team.
We measure every frame and check it is sound and square.
Pick the style and handles, or we can supply doors for you.
We trim, hang and fit the hardware on each door.
We test every door, then clear away old doors and offcuts.
Start to finish
You get more than a door on hinges. Every job is finished so you can use the room straight away.
Avoid these
We are often asked to fix doors that someone else hung. These are the problems we see most.
Planing too much leaves big gaps that let light and noise through.
A frame that is out of plumb makes the door drift open or shut on its own.
Short screws work loose, and the door starts to drop and rub.
If the keep is in the wrong place, the door has to be slammed to stay shut.
New flooring is thicker than you think, so leave room under the door.
Pairs need careful setting, or one leaf sits proud of the other.

Most door fitting is priced per door. Double doors, new frames and the door itself all change the price.

FAQ
Answers to what people ask before booking door fitters.
Hanging a door you have bought into an existing frame usually costs £85–£150 before VAT. If we supply the door as well, expect around £220–£450. A pair of double doors is around £220–£400. The price includes hinges, latch, handles and taking the old door away.
One door takes about two to three hours, so a fitter can usually hang two to four doors in a day. Double doors take longer, because both leaves need setting so they meet in the middle. If a frame needs replacing, allow half a day more for that opening.
Yes, in most cases. If the frame is solid and close to square, we trim the new door to fit it. Very old or damaged frames may need a new lining, which gives a cleaner finish. We check every frame when we measure, so you know before the work starts.
Either works. Many people buy their own doors, and we hang them. We can also supply doors, handles and hinges to match your style. If you buy them yourself, check the size first and let us know the brand. Some doors cannot be trimmed much.
Most doors can lose a few millimetres from each side and a little more from the bottom. Hollow and glazed doors have less to spare than solid doors. If an opening is very large or very small, a standard door may not work, and a new lining or a made-to-size door is the better choice.
Yes. Our double door fitting covers lounge and dining room pairs, internal French doors and glazed room dividers. We hang both leaves so they meet evenly in the middle and fit the bolts that hold one leaf shut. Pairs can go into an existing opening or a new, wider lining.
After, if you can. New carpet, wood or tiles raise the floor, and a door hung too early may rub. If the doors must go in first, tell us the type of flooring. We will leave enough gap underneath for it.
No. An ordinary internal door is not tested to hold back fire. Flat entrance doors, HMO doors and doors on escape routes often must be fire doors by law. If you are not sure, our fire door survey tells you which doors need to be fire rated.
