Given the paint looks pretty thin and you've already started sanding, why not just finish the job yourself? Only 2 doors, days are getting short and such.
London prices are wild. We paid £20 a door, including pickup and delivery (and meeting a very loud dog). The doors we had were 5-6 coats of paint deep + a coating that turned into real sticky gross goop when even a little heat was applied. Would have taken years.

How many years ago was that?

Ours all had that. The best part is when you're using the heat gun and wearing flip flops and a glob of it lands on an exposed toe.
Like napalm.
Yes, I'm an idiot.

Question for the hive mind, we were quoted £90 to get two door dipped to remove the paints, sanding it down reveal the wood to look ok, but can’t really tell if it’s original(ish) wood or just a cheap door that I could spend £35-90 replacing with a new one instead.
