Good point re: vat. I'll get mrs_com to double check as she arranged the quote. It doesn't say on either the quote or email.
My worry is more general repairers will either not touch it due to the leaded lights, or bullshit and say it's fine then end up fucking it all.

The leaded lights are the big concern, and there have obviously been some modifications done if there is security glass added to some of the panels.
Probably boils down to deciding if:- The work on the leaded lights can be done in situ
- The leaded lights need removing for a major overhaul
Option 2 is going to be pretty spendy, but in either case it might be better trying to get separate quotes for the woodwork / glass mainly because the glass is a much more specialist job and I would expect any firm quoting for the woodwork is probably subbing it out to someone else - and you'd possibly get a clearer picture knowing the extent of each piece of work?

Wonder if it’s worth looking at more general repair services for the door and the frame then going to a specialist for the glass? They seem to want a lot of money for the wood work. Are those costs inc. vat?
