For door fitting, each opening should be photographed separately because frame condition and floor clearance can vary room by room.

Start with number of doors, room names, and photos of each existing frame. A Barnet quote is easier to narrow down when the brief says whether the project is repair-led, storage-led, or part of a wider refresh.
For fitted storage, list the items that need to be stored before deciding shelves, rails, drawers, or cupboard depths.
