Supplied and fitted sounds simple, but it can mean different things with different firms. With some firms it means the doors only. With others it means the full job, from measure to finished doors. This guide explains what supplied and fitted means with East Coast Doors, step by step, so you know what you are paying for.
The five steps from call to finished doors
Step one is the call. You tell us how many doors you need and where you live. Step two is the free home measure. Our own fitting team visits, measures each opening and checks each frame. Step three is the quote, based on the measure and the doors you choose.
Step four is supply. The doors, frames, architraves, locks, handles and hinges are ordered to the agreed sizes and styles. Step five is the fit. The team removes the old doors, fits the new doors and frames where needed, fits the locks and handles, and checks that each door closes cleanly.
What is included in supplied and fitted
Supplied and fitted includes the doors themselves. It also includes frames, architraves, locks, handles and hinges. That matters, because a door without the right lock or handle is not a finished job. Including these parts in one service keeps the finish consistent across the house.
It also includes the fitting labour by our own team, and the free home measure before the fit. You deal with one team from start to finish. That team knows the sizes measured, the doors ordered and the frames in each room.
What is not included
Supplied and fitted does not include painting or decorating around the doors, unless that is agreed in advance. It does not include building work to walls, floors or ceilings. It does not include electrical work or plumbing work.
If an opening needs building work, that will be discussed at the home measure. It is better to know about extra work before the fit than to find it on the day. Ask at the measure if you are unsure about any part of the job.
How long a full house fit takes
Most full house fits are finished in a single day. That is possible because the measure is done in advance and the doors are ordered to size before the fitting day. The team arrives with the doors and parts needed, so time is spent fitting rather than measuring or waiting for stock.
A single door or a small job takes less time again. A larger house, or a house with frames that need more work, may need a longer visit. The team will give you a clear view of timing at the measure stage, once the openings have been seen.
How the price is worked out
The price is worked out after the free home measure. It takes account of how many doors you need, the styles you choose, the size of each opening and whether frames and architraves are needed. It also takes account of the locks, handles and hinges chosen.
That is why a price given without a measure can only be a rough figure. Two houses with the same number of doors can need different work, because the frames and openings differ. A measured quote gives you an exact figure for your home, not a general figure for a house like yours.

Areas covered
East Coast Doors is based in Julianstown, Co. Meath and has been fitting doors since 2020. Our own fitting team covers Dublin, Meath, Louth, Wicklow and Kildare. The service is the same in each area, with a free home measure, one team and a full house fit in most cases in a single day.
Planning ahead helps as well. Measure the rooms you use most, note any doors that stick or catch, and think about the style you want across the house. Bring those notes to the home measure. The fitter can then work through each room with you, confirm the sizes and agree the doors and parts for the job. That preparation makes the measure quicker and the quote clearer.
