Internal door fitting into garage

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.42 PM

We're looking to have a new door installed from the hallway in our South Wales townhouse into the garage which forms part of the ground floor of the house. The wall is a load bearing wall and is built from at least concrete blocks on the garage side. No electrics or rads in the way, there will be a step down into the garage which we're fine with. I've had a few quotes and nearly all of them agreed it was around 1 - 1.5 days work but there seems to be a huge difference in pricing between them... Highest was 3x the lowest. We'll need it linteled and will need a fire rated door and frame with a deadbolt lock for insurance reasons. I was wondering if building control or anyone needs notifying about this as it's a structural change and I see people on here say that's the case but none of the builders have explicitly mentioned this to me yet (not saying they weren't planning on though). Just wondering if there is anything else I need to look out for in terms of building control/pricing/materials on this. Thanks for any views!
