"The cost of fitting patio doors into an external wall (including removing a window and some brickwork) typically ranges between £2,500 and £5,500, depending on factors like door type, structural work, and location.

Cost Breakdown
1. Patio Doors – £800 to £2,500
• uPVC: £800 - £1,500
• Aluminium: £1,500 - £3,000
• Sliding or French doors are generally cheaper than bifold doors.
2. Structural Work – £800 to £2,000
• Removing the window and brickwork
• Installing a new lintel for support (if required)
• Making good any external and internal finishes
3. Labour – £800 to £1,500
• Typically a 1-2 day job for a builder
• May require a plasterer for finishing (£200 - £500 extra)

Additional Costs to Consider
• Building regulations (~£200 - £400) if altering a load-bearing wall.
• Making good flooring & exterior finishes (£200 - £500).
• Planning permission is usually not needed unless in a conservation area or listed building.

Would you be going for French, sliding, or bifold doors? Prices also depending on factors such as job location parking etc etc"
