Not unusual for a pro to give the first excuse that comes into his head when you complain about obviously shoddy work. Think cars and garages. They just assume you will take their word for it as the expert. And may even take delight in inventing some ridiculous reasons.

Having recently fitted a UPVC door and frame at home, you have to measure the opening carefully, and order up the unit with clearance all round. Precisely so it can be packed absolutely true and square. If the frame ain't level and square the door won't fit properly. Which is why you've paid a lot extra to have it fitted for you.

Buying my door online and fitting it myself saved 50% of the cost. So with that sort of labour cost, you're entitled to have it done properly.

If the frame is too big, the only real option is to have the whole lot replaced properly. If it is only one brick which is causing the problem, it might be possible to fix that.

But easy enough to check yourself with a decent spirit level.
