Stupid wind! (and UPVC Doors)

    Evening all,

    So I was putting out the bins earlier on and opened the back door at the same time as a gust of wind pulled it from me (door opens outward).

    The result now is the rectangular hinge/bracket at the top seems to have moved, the 3 screws in it are loose (and hard to get at because of the small gap) and closing the door requires lifting it up and pushing it into the frame :( - luckily it still lines up/locks at least. It's never been a great fit anyway as you can easily pull the top of the door from the outside and there's an ongoing draught (rental house, about 20/30 years old and not exactly high quality finishings anyway)

    So, as someone who is NOT DIY savvy and doesn't have a second pair of hands to try and wrestle it into place I was going to ring one of those door repair places tomorrow (seems only fair to get a quote before I decide to sort it myself or call the landlord).. any idea what kind of pricing these places charge?

    Cheers!
