About £1300. Plus vat. Support above.. Remove door and furniture set aside  Cut new opening and block up existing.  Insert lintol and door lining. Make good plaster. Re fit existing door architrave and skirting. Remove debris

Chris · Answer

You would need to install a longer lintel above door 
I would take out existing door and frame support lintel
Cut out for new lintel which would includ removing end of old lintel
Bed in new lintel and support then make good old opening which will support other end of new and old lintel’s 
New frame and door

Around the £1000 - £1300 mark for a propper job. You could potentially fit a longer lintel and stud up the grid but you would be better off re building the old door way in block or brick as it will be less prone to cracking once repaired. Thanks
