You can appeal against the works if it is "unfair to one or more of them [owners]". You could argue it's an unreasonable amount to pay for a door and it is unfair to expect you to pay that much and send back a few quotes of doors which are significantly less. You can also appeal to the sheriff Court withing 28 days of being informed of the works
